another WWE wrestler goes MMA

[boxerz1]

Just read online that Batista joined strikeforce after his contract expired with the WWE.



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.  


What do you think. Will he fail or do well

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

Epic fail....He's extremely injury prone, not to mention he's over 40 years old and a rookie.


I can't stand him because he comes off like a prima donna bitch. Can't wait to watch him get fuckin' handled.......

His only chance is if he fights Lashley.

Smart move by Strikeforce if they match these guys up. Both are limited in MMA skills, and it will bring exposure to the org.

Great. Only a matter of time until the UFC signs him, feeds him a bunch of cans and then markets him as the greatest MMA fighter ever.

You are very wrong.

The UFC would never sign a 40 yr old ENTERTAINMENT wrestler that has little to no REAL wrestling or fighting experience.

The UFC signed an ex WWE wrestler that had a very decorated college wrestling career, and was in his very early 30's when signed.

The UFC is not hard up to stay in business to sign someone with absolutely no real fight skills.
