Former WWE Star Bobby Lashley Wants Title Shot... or Time

Bobby Lashley tells Showtime Sports he wants one of two things: build himself up and grow or get a title shot.

He comes into the MMA WORLD and thinks he's the shit already???? HAH!!!!
Title shot already?????? Get the fuck outta here.......only WWF FANS wanna seem him get a title shot.

Inorder to get a title shot atleast beat a few top ranked fighters!!!! Ill give this fake WWF fighter credit if and when he beats top ranked guys! Bret Rogers would take this stupid WWF fake wrestler out!!!!

I think its dumb he's already talking bout a title shot but look at Lesnar. He made his debut beating a no name, lost to Mir, then beat Heath Herring and "earned" a title shot. I will say Herring is a tougher opponent than Wes Sims but at least you could say Bobby Lashley is undefeated. Anyway, Lashley needs to beat Brett Rogers and at least one more competitor such as Werdum to get a shot.

In any other organization I would seriously question Lashley asking for a title shot this early. However, in Strikeforce pretty much every fighter in the HW division is more qualified to have the belt than the current champion. Overeem hasn't defended the belt once since he got it in November of 2007. I don't give a shit who gets a shot as long as somebody is fighting for the damn title.

If you read into what Lashley is saying, he wants to build himself up and take 4-5 fights, but he is being PUSHED/PRESSURED into bigger fights and lets be honest how many big fights are there from the Strikeforce heavyweights that do not include Fedor or Rogers?

Give the guy a break, he wants to be a MMA fighter, does it really matter if he does Pro wrestling on the side or in his past? as long as he puts the training in and works his ass off!

Anonymous. You my friend are a retard and that's all I really need to say. Please stop watching MMA. These guys are making intelligent comments and you come out saying this crap.

Tice, Lashley does not NEED to beat Rogers and one other competitor before he gets a shot at the title. I bet there are alternative routes to getting that shot. Your statement is false.

Tice said...

Alright tell me, do you honestly think Lashley deserves a shot after beating Wes Sims? Really? Sims couldn't even make it past the first round in the Ultimate Fighter. And he was Lashley's biggest victory. If Fedor beats Brett Rogers and he still doesn't earn a title shot why the fuck would Lashley get one? Strikeforce CEO has already made the comment on how Rogers/Lashley will probably be their next fight. So if Fedor beats Werdum, then he would probably be the top runner, right? Lashley would have to fight another challenger to keep himself in the mix. I could be wrong, but I at least explained my reasoning. Tell me why I'm wrong, don't just say thats false, list some reasons or something. You seem to know everything, I'm interested in hearing what you think.

I have seen absolutely NOTHING, in regards to bobby lashley, that would make me think he is anything more than a joke......I don't see anything in any aspect of his game that makes me think he can make it as an MMA fighter. Brett Rogers will dominate Bobby Lashley. And he'll probably even knock him out in 2 or 3 mins. Strikefore is a second rate show, they will never be as good as the UFC. But they put on great entertaining fights, and i intend to watch as many as possible.

Does anyone take Alistair Overeem seriously anymore? The man should be barred from top ten lists. If i were a professional mma writer 1st i refuse to put fedor as my top heavyweight/pound for pound fighter, due mainly to the fact that the guy hasnt but just one legit fighter. (DONT POST ALL THESE COMMENTS LISTING THE EX-ELITE UFC FIGHTERS FEDOR BEAT, LONG!!! AFTER THEY FELL FROM THEIR PRIMES AND LEFT THE UFC).....Fedor is the KING of "Ex-Elite" fighers. Second, i would NEVER put Alistair Overeem in any top heavyweight Rankings. The guy hasnt defended his belt since he won it!! Nov. 07!!

basically, strikeforce is trying to get some attention with all this...they know their organization is shit and they are trying too hard to match the UFC with star power...they have very few fighters that are even top 25 in their respective weight classes and they try to sell circus acts in order to boost their numbers...oooh cool, Lashley vs Wes Sims...as if they expected a good fight out of Sims...wow! Herschel Walker vs ?????? that one was exciting...and nobody gives a shit about womens mma...that died when Cyborg beat Carano...now, they wanna sell me another Frank Shamrock fight? he hasn't been significant in years!!! all they really have are Fedor and Hendo...their organization doesn't have long to live...and by the way, Lashley would take Rogers down, with ease, and gnp or lnp his way to an easy win against a VERY OVERRATED opponent in Grimm...cant wait for this crap organization to go under

TheGift said...

To the last bonehead above me that thinks he knows everything about mma: You actually think Lashley would take Rogers down, with ease. Your the typical WWF FAN!!! Rogers would make that WWF WONDERBOY of yours submit so fast, he would go cry back with his little tail between his legs to the WWF!

You guys are ******* idiots. 1.) bobby lashley is a former US Army Ranger. 2.) hes a former college wrestling champion. 3.) hes trained MMA many years. Just because he was in the WWE doesn't mean hes an unqualified person. He has said it himself that he wants to build up for a title shot. It doesn't matter who he beats its how he beats them. i would like to see any of you losers beat someone like wes sims or bob sapp as easy as he did. Or how about this, i would like to see any of you step in the cage with Bobby Lashley. If you guys have ever seen his work out routine you would know hes a beast. He has proven it inside the ring over and over again.

He is not getting through Fedor.

whats with the WWE comments? this guy is a beast and his wrestling is world class, not to mention his strenth. I agree that Lashley would easily take down and control Brett Rogers. and to the guy that has so much to say about him being in the WWE...did you enjoy the Royal Rumble? you know your punk ass watched it

...Ridiculous!! Lashley's debut was less than impressive and he thinks he's ready for a title shot? LOL!! He needs to get into a deep line first. I really think guys like Rogers, Lashley know they need to try and take the title from Overeem cause if Fedor gets it, their chances are slim to none on taking it from Fedor...

Alistair Overeem is a freaking joke. he knows, no matter who it is he is fighting against in Strikeforce, he is going to lose that title. They should have already declared an interim champ due to his refusal to defend his title or he should have been stripped of it over a year ago. he's no champ. I'd take Lashley over him any day.

devastator said...

Richard your the biggest walking douchebag on the face of this earth if you think Lashleys been training many years!!!!(2-3 is not a lot nor enough douchebag)

clearly most of you know mothing about the fight world... fedor is the king heavyweight.. and no not because he took out rogers who is just a hamburger who beat other no names.... and a fight with allistair would be awesome.. for people that dont follow anything non north american. alistair has been fighting lots in k1 and doing pretty well for himself.. and making shit loads of cash... there ismore to the fight world than ufc and strikeforce.. get educated

Anonymous said...

strikeforce = paper champs, no competition or ranked fighters other than fedor and hendo. this is still the same company that put its investment in kimbo. soon it shall fall to, and for lashleys sake get to where the real proveing grounds are the UFC

To the guy two posts ahead, a fight between Fedor and Overeem would be awsome? Holy shit! That guy fucking sucks. Overeem may be doing good or decent or whatever in kickboxing, but who gives a fuck about K-1?! He hasn't been doing shit in Strikeforce or Dream. Most mma rankings score Werdum and Rogers ahead of Overeem and he's the champ. If Strikeforce does decide to force Overeem to defend his title, Fedor would destroy him faster than he did Tim Sylvia. And to your Fedor is king heavyweight remark, look at the top ten list and see how many your hero has beat. His two credits are to Nogueira and Rogers. And by the way Grim gave him a run for his money and that fucking guy is over ranked. I will say he is the king of former top heavyweights. Not saying Fedor doesn't belong in the top five, cause he does, I'm just saying it would prove he was top guy if he fought someone in the top five for a change. Look at his challenges in Strikeforce, Lashley, Overeem, Werdum, and Rogers. That is no where near the challenges he would have in UFC, Lesnar, Mir, Carwin, Velasquez, and Dos Santos. Oh well fuck it, Fedor will never fight in UFC, Lashley would lose if he fought Fedor, Overeem needs to lay off the roids so he can fight in America again so he can lose his title.

hey devestator or faggot what ever your name is. How do you know how long hes been training? Does your faggot ass know that they train martial arts in the Army, espically special forces?
