He's huge, just like Brock and Lashley, so I can see him making some noise. But unless he trains his ass off, I can't see him doing much at 41.

But unlike Lesnar and Lashley, Batista doesn't have a great collegiate wrestling background, or any wrestling background for that matter. This guy will gas in any fight just like Pudzianowski did against Sylvia.
I think Strikeforce denied the move because it isn't official yet.

That's true, too. It's going to be fun to see, regardless.

Batista, the guy from the WWE? Does that guy have any fighting experience at all? He's pretty damn old too.

Strikeforce could just have their own former pro-wrestler division. Batista, Lashley.. go after the Honky Tonk Man maybe. I think Jim Ross is available to do commentary.

Nope, he was only a bouncer and a useless stiff in a wrestling ring. The guy doesn't know a grapple from an apple.

Hopefully this joke of an organization dies soon and we can get the best fighters fighting each other in the UFC.

If he fights wrasslers exclusively then this is a good move. If Strikeforce pits him against real MMAers win or lose... ugh.

LOL, Batista wants to be an MMA fighter?? I think this is a joke considering how badly he got his ass kicked by Booker T in a real fight in the locker room.

Let us see what Lesnar has to say.....
Get in line, everybody and their dog wants to get into fighting. Next question. We’re talking about a heavyweight championship fight, not some wannabe.

Batista is old and has NO background what so ever.
His muscle is built for show, and not for MMA. He's going to get Clowned.

Strikeforce are recruiting the Power Rangers next week I heard, but keep it on the DL guys ...
But seriously, unless this guy has been working his ass off, it seems like a really random move. A 40 year old with no real credentials, amazed that SF didn't let him go into a small show and at least prove himself a little bit like Lashley did.
I am curious to see how this comes off.

Yeah he's actually not shocking, working his way up through smaller shows.

White/green fool!
Not sure what he trains but I know he has a couple of sweet submission victories last time I heard.

He was also the red ranger at one point. There's a power rangers episode called Forever Red (I saw it on youtube via wikipedia) it has every red ranger ever

including the original one, and the ex green ranger/white ranger. Best thing ever.
