Heavyweight fighter Bobby Lashley (4-0) says he wants to continue climbing the ranks in Strikeforce and is not rushing into a fight against Fedor Emelianenko. While Brock Lesnar was virtually rushed into a title fight in the UFC, Lashley tells SunSentionel.com that he wants to continue his slow build and get a few more wins under his belt before the fight of his life:

“When the fight comes with Fedor, which is going to be two, maybe three fights away, I will be definitely ready for him. It’s hard for me because when Brock (Lesnar) came in [to the UFC] Brock fought for the title after his second fight and everybody was [upset] about that. So I take a step back and say, ‘I’m going to take a different route.’ And I take my time and I have fights and everybody is like, ‘Why doesn’t Bobby fight Fedor?’ You can’t win for losing. There’s nothing I can do so I figure I’m going to do it the right way, and the way I know is the right way, and work my way up. I guarantee you I’m going to give the fans what they want. I’m going to be on this guy like he’s never seen before. So I’ll definitely put on a great show.”

Lashley makes his Strikeforce debut at the Strikeforce: Miami Showtime event on January 30th against Yohan Banks (2-1). He is also scheduled to fight on the April CBS card with no opponent named at this time.

Who the **** is Yohan Banks?

who in the hell said that? only chance bobby has of beating fedor is in wwf or in a contest of whos taken more steroids

lol bobby goin whoop fedor ass

lol bobby goin whoop fedor ass

Fedor could beat Lashley with both hands tied behind his back.

lol bobby goin whoop fedor ass

I hope you're joking.

If a fight were to materialize it goes one of two ways:

1. Fedor stops him on the feet.
2. Bobby takes Fedor down, attempts to pound him out and gets caught in the infamous Fedor armbar forcing the tapout.

Either way, Fedor beats dat ass.

i heard on an mma connected that hendo wants a shot at fedor now that he's in strikeforce... and bobby lashley has no chance, he should think about fighting brett rogers instead

lol bobby goin whoop fedor ass

YEA BECAUSE HE'S BLACK..RIGHT? :rolleyes:.

some of you black folks make me laugh :haha:.

fedor would drop bobby so fast, bobby is fighting a nobody next if we see him fight some of strikeforces top heavyweights then we can see him get the fight

Hey we're not doing too bad considering that not a single martial art used in MMA originated in our country.

I didn't realize they used NCAA rules back in the Grecco days.

Not that you probably know what Folkstyle refers to. Let me give you some help, it is the standard of every high school and college in the US.

I guess reading is not your strong suit.

NCAA was an example of what folkstyle is. If you bothered read on, you'd see that it was just an example.

The original question had to do with styles used in MMA.

I think you should take your own advice.
I don't care what 'style' of wrestling it is, all wrestling has it's roots in Greece.
Emphasis on the word 'originated' by the poster quoted above.:nutkick:

It depends on how you define 'martial art.' Any idiot knows that the Greeks had wrestling (though I would doubt if it literally originated there. It is generally attributed as the oldest sport and it has many roots and varieties around the world).

You can quit trolling any time btw.

I'm not trolling at all and didn't mean for you to take my first reply as an insult or anything.
Just call it miscommunication on both our parts.
I understand what you were getting at our wrestlers have been dominating MMA for the most part.
