Could Batista vs. Bobby Lashley Take Place for Strikeforce MMA?

Quote :

A deal hasn't been reached between Batista and Strikeforce yet but Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker confirmed interest in a fight, bringing up the idea of Batista vs. Bobby Lashley. Batista was asked about Lashley as a potential opponent and said he would do it, but he wants a few fights to build to Lashley. Coker thinks if they can get Lashley vs. Batista on CBS with a good semi-main event then they can do big ratings.

Batista, who is training, has hired a wrestling coach, a boxing coach and a Jiu Jitsu coach. Lashley is trying to recover from a knee injury that put him out of a fight back in June. It's said that Lashley's injury isn't healing as quickly as he

why couldn't he have done this 6 years ago

Lashley would kill him IMO. Lashley is a legit tough guy as he used to be in the army and is an awesome technical wrestler plus hes an absolute brute, where as well all we know about Batista is the incident with Booker T where he got his arse handed to him.

I think there is more chance of Batista signing with TNA if they ever decide to give him the $2m he said he would sign for, the problem is TNA are up shit street just now in terms of finance

Definitely. At his age, and with no MMA experience behind him, Dave is going to get killed in Strikeforce.

I say stick one of em in with Lesnar 8)

Lesnar would destroy them both. Hes fighting tonight isnt he?

Yeah, against Shane Carwin.

Lesnar's mint, but I dunno why every other wrestler thinks they can follow suit. He was a full on athlete to begin with, Batty Boy Tista was a bodybuilder as far as I know.
