Brett "The Grim" Rogers + Time = Champion

There is a reason why Gary Shaw didn't want Kimbo to fight him and there will be a time that Dana White will need him.

Not today...not in a few months but in a year or two he will fight in the UFC and he will contend for the belt. No doubt about it. You know it, I know it...everybody knows it. We just have not realized it yet.

He is Huge...even for a HW
He is a Good Interview...especially for a HW
He is Undefeated
He is Cocky
He is Charismatic
He has a great nickname

Granted...he really has not fought anyone in the "A" tier yet. So what...neither had Brock.

Strikeforce will have Werdum fight Overeem...Overeem will win. If he passes the drug test (he is looking much bigger than before...no?) he will then fight "The Grim". Should be a killer fight.

If Brett can get past the next can they give him and then Overeem (or Werdum) he will find himself the Strikeforce HW champ...undefeated at 11-0. Parrallel to that Brock Lesnar will still be champ and they will fight. Don't believe me? Screw you. Write it down and prove me wrong if it doesn't happen.

Bottom line is that I dig The Grim...it's fun to watch him fight. No emotion, hard to take down and hard to hurt. I would really love to see him fight Brock. So would Dana...so it shall be.

Write it down.

Bobby Lashley is a Lucky man...right?

Time will tell what long term effect his fight with Jason Guida will have on his MMA career. At face value...he did win the fight. That should be enough to move a step closer to the "Big Time" shouldn't it?

Clearly former WWE start Lashley is a physical specimen...complete with a sponsor-worthy face. Additionally, he does have a legitimate Collegiate wrestling career. Typically, those two attributes are enough to at least "fast forward" into a MMA career. Of course, he would need to beat his fair share of cans on the way to legitimacy. However, if he did put together a string of 6-7 victories without a loss, he could be in line to cash in and have some meaningful (and lucrative) fights.

As everyone saw on Saturday night, that path is sometimes easier said than done. Up against a sub .500 journeyman fighter in Jason "The Carpenters Fat Brother" Guida, Lashley looked less than impressive. Although he got the "W" he was not able to finish Guida and he was sometimes not able to take him down. His performance was lackluster and did not display the talent that is needed to be signed by a major promotion. In fact, he was lucky that he did not lose. Guida secured a fairly tight guillotine in the last round that could have ended the fight.

Either Jason Guida is a much better fighter than his 17-20 record shows or Bobby Lashley has years to go before he can even come close to Brock Lesner money...maybe it's a little of both.

Regardless, it was a good night for Guida. He took the fight on a weeks notice and went the distance with a guy that was supposed to destroy him. Bobby Lashley, on the other hand, took a step back in his quest to cash in on MMAs popularity.

If he had tapped in the third, he would most likely have to pick up boxing like Kimbo. Having said that, a boring decision really did not serve him that much better.

Bobby...get back in the gym and train harder.
