Originally Published 9 months ago Bobby Lashley Might go to Strikeforce
Posted By Truman MMA News

Bobby Lashley, the former WWE champion turned MMA fighter, is currently in talks with Strikeforce to compete for the San Jose-based organization, FanHouse has learned.
The MMA rookie hasn't fought since his June 27 victory over Bob Sapp on the Prize Fight Promotions "Ultimate Chaos" pay-per-view, and still has two fights left on his contract with that organization. However, talks have heated up over the last few weeks with Strikeforce about Lashley making his debut on the Nov. 7 CBS show, headlined by Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers. As of Thursday morning, though, no deal has been signed.

Hahaha, good one! I don't think Dana White fans get your sarcasm!
Fedor sure is ducking Nogueira, HEath HErring, Brock Lesnar, Iron Chin Mir, young prime Couture, proven legend Shane Carwho, and proven legend Cain Velasqwho!
and wizard on the ground Cheick Kongo!
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: FEDOR is ducking...
up and coming KIMBO SLICE!
hahaha, good one BIGDRAWZ415 !

I love how people compare everybody with Fedor, because he is the greatest of all time.
Listen, Lashley will be good, in fact he will probably beat Lesnar at some point in time and be a top 10 HW.
But beating Fedor is ... ARE YOU CRAZY?!?
First of all, nobody has done that! Not UFC champ Nogueira in his PRIME, not PRIME Crocop, not prime UFC champ Arlovski, not PRIME UFC hall of famer/champ Coleman, not PRIME UFC champ Randleman, not prime-longest-reigning-UFC-HW-champ Tim Sylvia, not undefeated ADCC absolute champ Arona, not K-1 legend 3-time HW champ Semmy Schilt, not iron chin/granite jaw K-1 champ Mark Hunt, not olympic wrestling silver medalist Lindland,
NOBODY!
Everytime a noob has a good fight, we compare him to Fedor! Gonzaga, Dos Santos, Carwin, Lashley, Rogers, Lesnar, etc.
Child please! Lashley might be good, he might be better than Lesnar or Mir or even as good as Josh Barnett, but FEDOR?!? PLEASE!
Good thing he wants the challenge though, good luck Lashley!
