You guys, Rashad has beaten & trains w/a guy who made Forrest cry. 🙂

I also think that Griffin's durability will be a huge obstacle to Rashad.

I wondered what happened to you. I hadn't seen you post in a while. What's your take on Lesnar?

Sup ST? Don't know what the deal was, they would never send me a new password...
Lesnar's antics annoy me, but i can't deny that he is a beast... The dude will be a handful for any HW, his wrestling/power makes up for his lack of exp. Not sure about his 1st fight, but hasn't he dropped every opponent with a punch at some point? In his 3 UFC's he has...
I think Mir can tap him again, and i def think Nog would find a way to beat him, but only time will tell. I'll give it to him though, he beat HH and Couture, that's no easy task.

That shouldn't hold too much weight.

That's like saying, Cro Cop trained with Werdum, and Werdum submitted Overeem. Therefore, Cro Cop will submit Overeem.

I was just playing, but Rashad ain't undefeated for nothing. He always carries out his gameplan & makes the fight on his terms. Somehow this guy's style just gives everybody serious problems.

I'm calling Forrest by decision.

No excuses. Randy did good, but Lesnar is a monster.

We learned one thing from this fight, Lesnar does not like to get hit. Randy doesn't possess KO power, imagine someone that does.

Lesnar will have trouble with guyz that have great takedown defense, and superior striking skills.

I would say Cro Cop, but not a chance. Lesnar would maul Cro Cop at the moment.

I see guyz like Dos Santos to have potential. Other than that, I see many losing to Lesnar.

Lesnar is much more aggressive than Barnett, I don't see Nog defeating Lesnar.

As for Fedor, he has the best shot at defeating Lesnar.

And yes, Fedor lost in the recent Sambo tournament. he wasn't undefeated in Sambo, but he hasn't lost in a while, so that was big news as well. He lost to the Bulgarian that he defeated tournaments ago.

Not a chance Lesnar is ready to face Fedor at the moment.

Lesnar would have too much trouble against Fedor. Lesnar's best gameplan would be to cut Fedor. Simple as that. I don't see Fedor getting dominated, submitted, or tko/ko'd within 5 rounds.

Are you saying Fedor will win by decision?

Not necessarily, I said I don't see Fedor getting dominated by Lesnar. I think it would definitley be his tuoghest test, but I see him pulling off a submission or maybe a TKO early on.

Fedor should not swim with Lesnar too long. Lesnar is a shark.

Agreed.

What the hell, i'll do u 1 better... Forrest by 4th rd sub.

Rashad by KO or TKO!

I don't know about that. Chuck was chasing Rashad all around the octagon. Griffin isn't the smartest fighter, nor the most talented, but he knows how to execute a game plan, plus he has Couture and Wanderlei on his side.

But,

I'm not counting out Rashad. He comes from a great camp, and they practice the art of nipple twisting (apparently Greg Jacksons camp is 7-0 in nipple twisting...impressive!)

It should be a very exciting fight. Rashad has enough power to put down Griffin, but I'm not sure if it's going to happen.

It's a toss up.

His toughest test? You think Lesnar presents more problems than Josh?

Koscheck knocked the living shit out of that dude.

And f*ing Corey Hill broke his leg like a tooth pick!

Yes. I don't see Barnett TKO/KO'ing Fedor, and I don't believe his catch wrestling will overpower Fedor's ground game.

But that's just me. Lesnar's size and strenght with the wrestling background and gigantic fists can be problematic for Fedor.

I would like to here your thoughts on another former pro Wrestler just made the switch to mma. This time it is Bobby Lashley, who prior to joining the wwe, Lashely was a 3 time National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)wrestling champion. He was also in the army before going into the wwe.

This is the only video I could find of his first fight from December 13:
His opponent was also a newcomer ( I believe anyway) by the name of Joshua Franklin.

I think he can be fairly successful in mma, maybe make it into the UFC due his "name value" but his first was against a nobody so it is too early to tell how good he will become though for the record, I think he can take Kimbo. Had to throw that in there. 😛

I also read that Titio Oritz will be appearing at the Affliction press conference Wednesday, I think he will announce the obvious, that he signed with Affliction.

I watched the Lashley fight this morning. Very impressive first fight. He's very athletic. With some standup training and submission defense, he can be a real threat.

Is Fedor going to fight Andre Arlovski(sp?) in January because I saw a poster at the MMA store a my local mall. If they do fight what do you guys think will happen.
