Comments on: Bobby Lashley discusses upcoming fight vs. Ken Shamrock in new 5 Oz. interview http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2009/03/05/bobby-lashley-anything-that-comes-my-way-im-ready-for-it/ Your Destination for Insider MMA News and Opinion Sat, 26 May 2012 22:51:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: RU486 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2009/03/05/bobby-lashley-anything-that-comes-my-way-im-ready-for-it/comment-page-1/#comment-67993 RU486 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 23:28:53 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=12591#comment-67993 I really feel sorry for Ken on this one. He couldn't handle Tito 3 years ago, I don't see how he thinks he can pull off anything more than mediocre against a beast like Lashley. I'm excited about Lashley fighting, and unlike most, wouldn't mind seeing a lot more professional wrestlers enter MMA. A majority of them were phenomenal amateur wrestlers and just naturally have the conditioning and combative qualities necessary for an easy transition to MMA. Yes, Pro Wrestling is a joke, but these guys themselves are not. The heavyweight division in every organization is weak. These guys transitioning to MMA will give some real competition and perhaps make the heavyweights exciting again. Look how much the UFC HW has changed since the arrival of Brock. Almost every fighter has gained 20 pounds or so to make up for the size difference. That really says something that one person can have that much affect on an entire weight class in just 3 fights.

It's been a long time since Ken put up the kind of legitmate fight that would make me think he's ready for a specimen like Lashley, but experience is a huge factor in MMA. There are few guys out there with the experiential references available to Shamrock, but again, he's lost the majority of his fights for the past several years, and while Lashley is a rookie, he brings an obvious amount of physical potential to the table. Ken is in the 210-220 range, and Lashley above is listed at 260. Big muscles don't win fights, but legitmate wrestling skills do, as do stand up skills honed working with America Top Team. I guess we'll see if the lessons were studied and applied, when, and IF, Shamrock and Lashley meet in the ring.
