If Bobby really wants to be taken seriously how bout he quit fake wrestling and work on his striking skills?? Isn't Howard Davis doing the Boxing Skills at ATT?

Thats kinda ignorant dude. A wrestler is always going to resort to their bread and butter.
GSP doesnt exactly have stellar standup but hes been considered P4P and I think everyone who knows anything about MMA takes him seriously.

The only thing Lashley needs to do is just step it up big time in competition. We already know he has a good amateur wrestling background that he brings to the table.

It's comments like that one RD that people don't like you. It seems you're always trying to prove something to someone. Brock is the reigning UFC Heavyweight Champion, Lashley isn't anywhere near Brock's talent level. Just leave the pitty patty BS for other people RD.

GSP's striking is above majority of the WW's but the same cannot be said about Lashley at HW, horrible comparison

Does anyone have the video of Wes pushing Bobby? I can't find it. I looked on the link and it wouldn't load for me.

I guess im blessed thats something I dont have to worry about Sakara (but thanks anyways for the tip). There is no point in worrying about things you have no control over. If I have an opinion that I feel is relevant to the discussion I share it like everyone else.

Brock is the UFC champion because he was given the opportunity to prove himself. Even after his initial loss to Mir he was able to rebound.

Like Lesnar Bobby Lashley can be given the same opportunities. I dont know about you but some of us would like to know how good Bobby Lashley really is.

If youre going to be a fighter then be a fighter and fight opponents that present a challenge. They made King Mo step up in competition and rumor is hes fighting Mousasi next according to his backstage interview. Lashley needs to step it up.. period.

Its time to see how good Lashley really is so he can shutup his critics. If he loses like Lesnar did then so be it.
Listen if Wes Sims didn't come to fight that is on Wes Sims, i have no idea how you make that Lashelys fault.

Just about anybody who steps into that cage can present a challenge, yes Wes isn't the greatest but neither is lashely, he is not Lesnar or King Mo. King Mo is a special case like Lesnar but i doubt he will be as succesful as Lesnar but only time will tell. Lashely doesn't need to shut up the same critics that were trashing Lesnar for doing what they want Lashely to do. Lashely needs to improve get better climb the latter with his skills not his name so much. That doesn't mean that he only fights cans, it just means that he has to fight guys that are on or around his level not people that are so far above him. Lashely should be fighting like Whitehead or i agree to put him against Brett, that would be fine as well. So does Lashely need to step it up yes you are right on that RoadDawg, but against top tier level fighters no. Lashelys level improved so now he has to fight fighters around his new level, prove himself there ect.

King Mo if he does fight Gegard i think you will see why it is good to build up and not jump right into it. I think King Mo and Lashely would be more interesting then Gegard destroying him.

You asked why people want to see Lashley fight top competition in which I responded:

- Fans would like to see him challenge himself to gage how good he really is
- Per Lashley's comments he wants to continue on the same streak or fight for the title. The only way to get anywhere near a title is to fight top competition.

How do you know he is not really challenging himself? He hasn't been doing this for a long time, i think he is doing just fine, i do wish that Wes had more time to actually prepare.

I agree the only way it should be to get a crack at the title is going through top guys, however getting up to the top guys i unlike you do not think he should rush into it and that he should continue to build up first.

The fans are not the ones needed to gage how good he is, his trainers and he, himself need to gage that. I think he was on the right road but if he does get brought up to face these top guys he may or may not do well i think the latter. It is in his best interests and the fans best interest to wait for him to build himself up.
