Wow, Lashley is a busy man. Signed with MFC and will debut May 15, is still expected to face Sapp June 27, now signed with XFC to fight in September, and allegedly signed on with TNA “Wrestling” as well.
No joke, he’s after that money!
is your “screen name” going to be L4E1X5 or L1E4X5? I was just wondering no offense just asking
I think it’s a smart move. If he wins all three of these fights, he’s well on his way to the UFC.
On another note…is anyone going to the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey Saturday? (Fall Out Boy is headlining) My band is playing and thought I’d throw a quick promo out there.
Looks like he’s not on the Ultimate Fighter then. It would have been some entertainment for the coming fall season. IMO, I don’t think Lashley will get past Bob Sapp. They’re both giant dudes that aren’t too talented, but Sapp has the experience edge. Who knows though.
It’s cool to see two guys that are that big go at it…I don’t care what their skill set is!
True enough, but I wish there were bigger guys with more of a skill set as it would encourage the UFC to get a Super-Heavyweight Division. I hope this doesn’t turn into a gas fest though as it did with Sapp and Kimo.
I didn’t watch the Lashley and Guida fight, so anyone know how Lashley’s stamina looks?
Lashley started to get gassed half way through the 2nd, and that fight was um well ya his 2nd fight… You didn’t miss much…
