lashley isn't on roids. wwe doesn't allow any of their wrestlers to take steroids ever since the chris benoit incident. lashley passed all of his drug tests.


i think gary shaw is giving kimbo the easiest fights that will still make him look good. bobby lashley is a beast with great wrestling, but he is totally inexperienced in mma. if kimbo is going to beat him, it will have to be now while he's still green. i think lashley could do well in mma, he's basically another brock lesnar (as far as size, strength and wrestling credentials go anyway).

I think Elite XC would seriously benifit from this, bring Lashley in would probably get another heap of fans over from the wrastlin.

It's very difficult to believe Lashley isn't on steroids. The guy is just too big. Hes like Batista, that muscle just looks like it shouldn't be there, unlike a guy like Lesnar, who is naturally a huge guy anyway.

i know it seems unbelievable but the guy checked out, batista did as well(his muscles have slowly been turning to flab recently). every wwe wrestler who got caught with steroids was suspended for 30 days or even fired, no exceptions.

first off lashley never used steroids look at him when he wrestled in school same size the man is huge. look at him in the armed forces still huge def not on steroids there the man is just a beast. also this dude can wrestle, give him some time to train and he could be dangerous for kimbo who is not gonan over power him or be the bigger dude in this fight. lashley is a beat and could give problems to kimbo

I think Bobby Lashley is one of the few Pro Wrestlers that could do well in MMA. He's a genetic freak of nature. He's young enough that he has time to dedicate himself. He has solid amateur wrestling pedigree (NOT on Brock Lesnar's level though. Lashley wrestled in a different class). He needs to make up his mind soon though and either do MMA or go to TNA. If he splits his focus he'll fail at both.

Kimbo vs. Lashley would actually be an interesting fight as both men are at similar experience levels with Kimbo actually having been in pro fights and Lashley not having been in any but with better pedigree. If this fight were to happen, within the next year would be the correct time.

I would pick Lashley for this fight, here is why...

The obvious victor if these guys stand and trade blows is Kimbo. Lashley obviously wouldn't do that... I think he'd do very similar to what Lesnar did, and thats shoot and takedown straight away. The trouble with Lesnar was... he was against Frank Mir who is a great Jiu Jitsu heavyweight - Kimbo is not. Kimbo won't knock Lashley out because Lashley won't stand with him, and if he wants to take Kimbo down, I don't think he would have a problem in doing so.

Kimbo will always be good against guys like Bo Cantrell and Tank who are going to stand and bang, thats what Kimbo is, thats his roots.

An old post of mine regarding Lashley and roids
This is funny because unlike Lesnar, Lashley actually is on steroids. Also, Lashley isn't as strong as Lesnar (Lesnar tossed around the Big Show like a doll and Lashley barley got him off the ground.

Lesnar is also more athletic, and much quicker and more agile then Lashley. I don't think Lashley can fare well in MMA, especially since he is going to get flabby and become even weaker without the roids.

BTW the reason I say he is on roids is because Lesnar wrestled in the NCAA at somewhere around 300 pounds, but Lashley wrestled at somehwere around 190 pounds, and their both about 280 pounds now..so I think it's fair to agree with my assessment.
