    Give him someone like Gabriel Gonzaga or Cheik Kongo for his first fight and lets see what he can do.

    Amateur wrestling: Lashley attended Missouri Valley College, where he won three national amateur wrestling championships between 1996 and 1998, placing fourth in 1995. Throughout 1997 and 1998 he was the NAIA National Wrestling Champion, competing at the weight of 177 pounds (80 kilograms).[3] Lashley later joined the United States Army, where he continued to wrestle.

    That was from his site, and I'm sure he got a silver at the Military Games.

    He wrestled at 177 in college. There's no testing in Japan. He was originally going to fight at 205 in MMA. Do the PED math.

    Most heavyweights would look great against the cans Lashley has been fighting. Sapp had just been subbed in a minute by a 180lb journeyman. Jason Guida? Joshua Franklin has never won a fight in MMA.

    Carwin and Velasquez are both natural heavyweights who wrestled at a higher level in college and are far more proven in MMA. Both of them have also proven they can take a punch from a puncher and come back to win. No idea w/ Bobby.

    Lashley has a long way to go, if he gets there at all.
