so many noob/rookie mistakes that he should have ironed out before he stepped in a cage. an opponent that chubby/out of shape and slow should not have been able to clip him that many times! Batista needs to trim off some of that mass he's just to sluggish.
that was painful viewing.

I wonder how many people will piss on them both given their relative inexperience.
Kudos on getting the W for his first match.

Batista fought and won his MMA debut saturday night, A little kid picks his nose in Russia, A dog farted in Japan. A Bear yawns in California, and somewhere in the world this man is getting a phone call......

He looked out of shape, was on short notice and looked like his he'd have a heart attack doing a 40, let alone get timed on it.
Vince Neil would've been a bigger challenger than Vince Lucero.

Lucero's only wins in the last few years have been against a couple cans. His only two wins in his last dozen fights have been against another guy making his pro debut and a guy who was coming into the fight with a 1-2 record.
Lucero has never beaten anyone noteworthy, sure he has gotten his ass kicked by a few big names but really, anyone can take a beating.

This is Dave's FIRST EVER MMA fight, give him a break. The guy is 43 years old and coming out of the WWE. Were you guys expecting to see the next GSP, Silva, Fedor, Jones?

Yeah, I got give it up to Batista, taking on a guy with 50 fights in your pro debut isn't an easy task for someone who has never stepped in to the cage. And that guy was trying to beat him, I would love to see him fight Walker, I think Walker murders him....
