BOBBY LASHLEY claims he is the man who can end Brock Lesnar's dominance of the UFC heavyweight division. The former WWE superstar has signed a deal with rival wrestling outfit TNA which allows him to compete in MMA while under contract with the firm. And the 33-year-old reckons he has what it takes to dethrone Lesnar as king of the UFC's 265lbs division. Lashley said: "I've seen Brock fight and I think he is a great champion. "I'm not going to say anything bad about Brock because he is the champion. "But my sights are set on him and I'm not saying that I want to fight him because he is 'the wrestling guy'. "I am saying that because I am a heavyweight fighter and he's the heavyweight champ. "Eventually, I do want to fight Brock for that title. I want to fight Brock and I do have a game plan to beat him." Lashley also revealed his decision to compete in pro-wrestling and MMA simultaneously is because of his strong love for both. Speaking to ESPN, he added: "I want to do both because I can. TNA is giving me the opportunity to compete in both sports which I have a passion for. "I will bring MMA fans to wrestling and wrestling fans to MMA." TNA president Dixie Carter added: "This is a great opportunity for Bobby to do something that has never been done before. "He is the perfect ambassador for both sports. We are excited to have him join TNA — he is a true star who brings so much to the table as a member of our roster."

lufan, ummm i think were all boneheads unless you have some kinda metal plate in your head and i dont believe theres enough wind to fly a kite today! :'( sooooo i will just type. how do YOU know what their contracts say? are you under contract with the ufc? the "tons of fighters" you talk about have no other choice than to bend over and take whatever the ufc has to offer, fedor doesnt have to. weve had this arguement in soooo many other threads, fedor does not need the ufc to cement his legacy in mma, BUT every hw in the ufc and the world HAS TO beat fedor if they ever want the #1 ranking! like i said before its kinda like if gsp left the ufc, he would still be the #1 ww in the world and possibly the #1 p4p fighter... it doesnt matter where he fights hes still gsp! i find it amusing how white has to go outside of the ufc to find a fighter he thinks can beat lesnar! what is that saying to the fighters he has under contract? theyre not good enough? he doesnt have enough faith in them? they arent ready? how would you take it? fedor has a big test in front of him in barnett and lesnar and white needs to tend to the ufc hw division and who will pummel lesnar first, cain,carwin,or crocop.

or maybe he doesnt want to sign his life and likeness away to the ufc... :-\ he can either fight for the ufc or fight for every other organization at the same time and still be able to keep his soul. i want to see the fight as much as anyone but using the word "scared" to describe fedor is ridiculous!

big ned must have an INCREDIBLE team this year!

dude, my wife is in love with gsp! i cringe everytime he comes out in those frigging shorts!! :'(

just saw this on another site--- Georges St. Pierre: Must have groin injury cleared by an orthopedic doctor. Otherwise, suspended until Jan. 8. Even if cleared, suspended until Aug. 11 with no contact until Aug. 2 for precautionary reasons.

please tell me you didnt just type that!!! baseball, youre better than that! :'(

Now that fight would sell some PPV'S!!! I just hope Kimbo has improved.... He seems like the only person brock can't throw around. Plus Brock can't ground and pound Kimbo and he's not gonna eat to many of kimbos hits. I just dont see Brock lasting too long with a LEGIT striker especially if he cant take him down.

how was the party last night :-\???? also, did you notice there was blood everywhere on the mat!? what blood bath did i miss in the prelims? time warner didnt show em...

theres guys out there bigger than lesnar! is he bad, heck yes, will he get ktfo by a LEGIT standup guy very soon,i believe so! he has VERY limited standup with the chance of landing a wild haymaker at anytime, great wrestling but his wrestling has to be able to set something else up ,no subs or sub defense, and awesome gnp!! hes great on the ground and as you saw at the begining of the second round mir was doing well on his feet until brock took him down. if a LEGIT striker can keep it standing its over for brock. theres a few guys in the new tuf that i believe will give him a run if carwin, congo, or crocop(yes crocop) doesnt get to him first. like i said, it has to be a LEGIT striker that can avoid being taken down, kinda like a hw liddell... maybe BARNETT!!!! i cant wait to see who they match him up with next.

little jabs? lesnar was throwing some bombs on the ground! i cant wait to see lesnar fight a legit standup fighter, i think he will go to sleep very fast!

THANK YOU HENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mir was not only beat up but humiliated! I cant wait to see Lesnar get the he11 beat out of him!

what!!!! what better event than ufc 100 to invite your internet mma group to????

i think the early ufc coleman and the coleman of today are totally different... i look for bonnar to have his way.

were any of us invited? :'(

its soooo funny when the newbs act like they invented ultimate fighting! they have no idea of the early days when it was no holds barred with no weight classes and very,very brutal!

it wasnt the fact that some kid posterized him it was the fact that he made sure all the tapes disappeared.

this card suuuuuuux!!!

HAHAHA... your puppies are 6-23 against WOS!!! I couldnt imagine why were so confident! If my memory and history are correct we had a 3 year winning streak (2001-2003). That was enough time for Hooks to go bald scratching his head and wondering what the heck went wrong. I always enjoyed playing WOS. Great discipline and definately the D is what kept that team together throught the years. I remember the game in WOS when we came from behind to win was exhausting. That was a great "never-say-die" effort by both teams. NED just had the upperhand. But yes, overall, WOS has the better record. That doesn't always equal a better team and a "W." Whatever makes you sleep better at night.. I guess a little ol 3a team handing you your butt at your stadium is hard to swallow. ;D

Youre very quick to point out certain things about WOS, what has your team done the past few seasons? Playoff run? If your team happens to be Big Ned, we may not have beaten Gilmer, but we sure in the heck spanked yall!!!

HAHAHA... your puppies are 6-23 against WOS!!! I couldnt imagine why were so confident!

I couldnt imagine why...
