    Oh my!

    According to an article on MMA Fanhouse yesterday, the massive and exciting fighter Bob Sapp (6’5″ 375lbs.) will be facing off against Bob Lashley from WWE.

    Bob Sapp is a massive brute of a fighter that was extremely entertaining to watch in in Pride and K-1, but who has been a bit out of the spotlight for a while due to disagreements with K-1.  Although he has been in a few promotion since then (Cage Rage, Strike Force), his visibility here in the states has definitely been on the low-down compared to several years ago (although he’s still practically a super-hero in Japan.)

    Lashley is trying to follow in the footsteps of the now immensely visible, and well, immensely immense, Brock Lesnar (6’3″ 273lbs. of all muscle.)  Lashley comes from a strong wrestling background, having wrestled in College, and in the Army.  This will be only his third MMA fight.

    I haven’t seen what kind of condition Bob Sapp is in for quite a while, but if it’s good, then I think Lashley will really have his hands full here…. perhaps too much to handle.  Although, anyone can get knocked for a loop.

    Wanna see what a concussion looks like?  Wanna see what I think this fight will look like?  Bob, can you show us your fight with Kimo to end this discussion for now?
