Batista -- I'm Fighting for REAL Now!
He's a former six-time WWE heavyweight wrestling champion of the world -- but this weekend Batista finally confirmed that he's now fighting for real ... for an MMA company called Strikeforce.
The 6'5", 290 pound behemoth was out in Hollywood this weekend -- where he told our camera guy about the move ... and hinted that he already has his first fight lined up. The 40-something-year-old recently left WWE after his contract expired ... and there had been rumors floating around that he wanted to get into Mixed Martial Arts fighting. Now, with the rumors confirmed, we gotta ask ... In MMA, Batista will... Dominate Get destroyed http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/21/dave-b...sShareURL=true TEE PEE DUB DUB |

The league with the same name as Rick Martel and Tito Santana is a joke. They gave away the most popular fighter in the world on free TV in november.
I guess they are going to have to rename the Octagon the Pit of Danger for Batista. |

Wait, Strikeforce later replied that no contract had been signed and talks were still in the going. I bet Bats wants a load of cash upfront.

He would have his arse handed to him on a plate, and he's 41 for christs sake how many legit fights has he got in him at that age?

Here's a pretty interesting post from an MMA blog from a guy who actually fought Batista in the gym: Link
The guy writing it is obviously much smaller than Bats, though, so I have no idea how he would do against someone his own size. People thought Brock would have a hard time, too, but Brock never had the injury history Bats does and Bats was never the outstanding amateur wrestler Brock was. I doubt much (if anything) comes from this. |

Batista has taken chair shots to the head, I would think it's pretty hard to knock him out.

If Bat's fights anyone even remotely credible, he is going to get knocked the hell out.

Yeah without an actual pedigree like Brock or Lashley and at his age it's not really likely he could do shit all. But you never know he could be a natural... but probably not.

Yeah...as stiff and unflexible as he moves in the ring and how he is injury prone, yeah he will be a natural.

Brock Lesnar was a genetic freak who was a National Champion wrestler and probably could have made the Olympic teams if the WWE hadn't thrown money at him. I also believe that Brock wouldn't be where he is in UFC now if he hadn't been in WWE. He is 4-1 in his career. He won the UFC Heavyweight Championship in his 4th fight. Batista will put butts in seats, so he will get protected.

Batista doesn't have an amateur background like Lesnar and Lashley. I doubt he'll ever win any fights against any legit competition, though good luck to him if he really is trying to pursue this.

I agree, but don't think Strikeforce will throw him to the lions ASAP. He will at least butts in seats for 1 event.

I love the idea of this. Sure Bats isn't a "fighter" per say, but he is big as hell and a former pro wrestling champion which makes him a draw in the MMA world IMO. I'm sure due to his size and strength he would hold his own against most, but who is to say until we see it happen.
I wouldn't want to get ground and pounded by that mother fucker I'll tell you that. |
