Ex-WWE star Lashley wins MMA debut
BY RODOLFO R. ROMAN
For The Miami Herald

Former World Wrestling Entertainment star Bobby Lashley says a mixed martial arts bout between he and UFC champ Brock Lesnar, another former WWE star, will happen.

‘‘I am a wrestler, and Brock is a wrestler. If [Lesnar] wants to match skills, we match skills,’’ said a confident Lashley, after defeating Joshua Franklin in their MMA debuts Saturday, Dec. 13 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

``There is going to be a meeting between me and Brock. There will be.‘’

First, Lashley defeated Franklin at the inaugural Mixed Fighting Alliance event on Saturday. Lashley, who trained at American Top Team which has several locations in South Florida, needed just 41 seconds to win the match.

The card, titled There will be blood, lived up to its hype. Lashley opened a major laceration on Franklin’s forehead.

Lashley impressed the crowd with his vicious punches and kicks. His wrestling skills were evident after taking some single and double leg shots.

Lesnar, who has three MMA matches under his belt, is the current UFC heavyweight champion after defeating former champ Randy Couture last month.

Lashley said there isn’t much of a difference between the WWE and MMA locker rooms. ‘‘I like the locker room in WWE,’’ he said. ``You know, you have a bunch of professionals with a mindset of putting the best performance possible. This is the same thing.‘’

Lashley said there is no one in the MMA who could match his wrestling skills.

‘‘I am confident of my wrestling background,’’ he said.

Lashley left the building with fans cheering for more, and they will get more.

Other results: Jeff Monson def. Ricco Rodriguez. David Bagget def. Ariel Gandula. Eduardo Guedes def. Manuel Del Rio. Gino Tutera def. Wayne Bermudes. Ian Wolf def. Alex Vila. Wiber Marrero def. Ronald Pena. Alex Caceres def. Tulio Quintanilla. Luis Fernando Fernandes def. Michael Luzbet. Nelson Lopez def. William Gonzalez.

They’re setting up Lashley vs. Lesnar. That’ll be a big money fight. Combine the MMA and WWE fanbase and that’s a good chunk o’ scrilla. :smiley:

Here’s another story but it’s 4 pages so I didn’t c&p it.

[QUOTE=MasterKiller;900885]Yup. Here is me doing one in competition: At about 1:30[/QUOTE]

Nice try, you may have tired that too early though.

The Lashley fight was dissapointing. The guy got cut and the ref/doctors stopped the fight. Just the same, Lashley was doing well and showed he still has world class take down skill, as well as some heavy hands. He is not ready for the elite heavyweights yet though, although a Lesanar/Lashley match wouldn’t be out of the question in the near foreseeable future. Especially since I don’t think Lesnar will hold the title very long.

Next is Curt Angle.

And I’m with Gene, I am dying to see someone at least try a boston or single leg crab or knee crank. The way alot of these fighters setup thier guard, it looks very possible.

Don’t **** off Lashley!

Pro wrestler Lashley destroys Cook in 24 seconds

By Steve Cofield

Don’t make fun of Bobby Lashley and his pro wrestling background. The former WWE star said he was incensed by the fact that his opponent Mike Cook came to the cage in a lucha libre mask a la Nacho Libre.

Lashley is generally a polite, sportsman but he refused to touch gloves with Cook. He charged Cook in the opening seconds and missed with a huge right. Cook made the mistake of dropping his head. Lashley, a big MMA heavyweight at 6-foot-3, 249 pounds, grabbed onto Cook’s head with his left arm. From there, he used his bulk to lean on Cook and it took just a few seconds for Cook to wilt under Lashley’s weight. Lashley flattened out Cook (7-4) and re-positioned his right arm to cinch on a choke. Cook’s legs could be seen quivering and referee John McCarthy had to step in to stop the fight (video). All that in just 24 seconds during Maximum Fighting Championship 21 at the River Cree Resort and Casino just outside Edmonton, Alberta

“I’m here for business,” said Lashley (3-0). “I’m here and everyone wants to and tries to make fun of the wrestling thing. I’m real. If they want to play around, I’ll knock them out or choke them out. And that’s what I did. I choked him out and made him pay. Now he can go put the mask back on and have fun with himself.”

Lashley, making the conversion from the fake stuff with Vince McMahon, started training mixed martial arts last year. He won his first fight in 41 seconds when Joshua Franklin couldn’t continue after a Lashley elbow busted him open. His last time out in March, Lashley won a decision against veteran Jason Guida.

Lashley needed to get through this fight unscathed because he has a stiff test against freakazoid Bob Sapp (pictured below on the right) right around the corner. Sapp, a former NFL player, NCAA All-American at Washington and a huge crossover star in Japan, is 6-4, 345. He doesn’t have much stamina but he is dangerous for about 4-5 minutes. Sapp (10-3-1) and Lashley will meet on June 27 in Biloxi, Miss.

Lashley is finished with the WWE but is still dabbling with pro wrestling with TNA. Former WWE champ Brock Lesnar also made a quick transition to MMA. After just three fights, he won the UFC’s heavyweight title by downing all-time great Randy Couture. He defends his strap at UFC 100 in July against Frank Mir.

Lashley vs. Randleman would be cool.

Lashleys fight if you haven’t seen it.

Looks like a work.

I don’t care about MMA in WWE, it’s the WWE in MMA that would concern me.

Pro wrestler Lashley TKOs the much larger Sapp in minutes
By Maggie Hendricks

Former pro wrestler Bobby Lashley showed that he is for real in mixed martial arts, defeating veteran fighter Bob Sapp with a technical knockout in less than two minutes at “Ultimate Chaos” in Biloxi, Miss.

As soon as the bell rung, Bobby Lashley went in for a quick takedown. He had no problem with bringing the much larger Sapp to the canvas. From there, he executed his game plan well, staying on top of Sapp and throwing a barrage of punches. Sapp tapped to signal that he wanted the fight to end, but the referee did not see it, and Lashley kept punching. Finally, Sapp tapped again, and the referee put an end to the fight at 1:17 in the first round. After the win, Lashley announced that he is ready for whoever wants to take him on.

“To all the heavyweights out there, if you’re not looking at me, you better, because I’m coming. I’ll take on all challengers,” Lashley said.

Both men have the first name Bob, and both have experience professional wrestling, but the similarities end there, as Sapp outweighed Lashley by nearly 67 pounds for the main event. Lashley, who is undefeated in the real sport of MMA after years as a star professional wrestler in the WWE and ECW, took on the fight with Sapp, who is a veteran of Japanese fight promotions PRIDE and K-1, to prove that his desire to excel in MMA is real. A win over Sapp validated Lashley in the cage, moving his record to 4-0.

Lashley weighed in at 255 pounds for the fight, meaning that he would have no problem making the heavyweight class of 265 for more mainstream mixed martial arts promotions like the UFC, Strikeforce and Affliction. Considering how he has steamrolled through his four opponents, and that he is training at the highly touted American Top Team, it’s not crazy to think that we will soon see Lashley on a larger stage.

Wow! He’s got a better record than Brock . . .

he also looks way more monsterly

WWE legend Dave Bautista set to make mixed martial arts debut
UFC
September 2, 2012
By: Eric Holden

Former WWE superstar Dave Bautista is slated to make his mixed martial arts debut on Oct. 6 against Rashid Evans, in the main event of the “Real Pain” card from the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island.

Bautista, who performed in the WWE in the early-2000s as “Batista,” is no spring chicken, as he’s making his MMA debut at age 43.
View slideshow: Dave Bautista is set to make his MMA debut on Oct. 6

Luckily, his opponent, Evans, is also an MMA newcomer who has no pro fights under his belt. Evans is not to be confused with former UFC champion Rashad Evans.

On Sept. 1, it was announced that UFC veterans David Loiseau and John Howard were added to the “Real Pain” card, adding a little credability to a card headlined by two combatants with 0-0 records.

Loiseau (20-10) hasn’t fought in over a year, as he battled through an elbow injury that sidelined him since Feb. of 2011. He’ll be fighting 32-year-old Chris McNally (5-4).

Howard’s opponent is yet to be determined. He (11-7) is 3-0 since getting released from the UFC last year.

The main card of “Real Pain” will air on DIRECTV per-per-view for $29.95.

I’m surprised he passed the p1ss test, lol. That guy is a poster child for PED’s.

So, I haven’t really been paying attention for the last 6 months. Was Evans released then?

Oh sh1t, I just noticed it is Rashid Evans. lol One letter was off, I thought it was Rashad.

Press release

I just got this press release about Bautista. They even offered an opportunity to interview him today, which I would have totally jumped at if I didn’t have a previously scheduled appointment. It was too short of a notice. :frowning:
