Bobby Lashley Talks About Fighting Fedor In 2010
Strikeforce Heavyweight Bobby Lashley
Heavyweight fighter Bobby Lashley (4-0) says he wants to continue climbing the ranks in Strikeforce and is not rushing into a fight against Fedor Emelianenko. While Brock Lesnar was virtually rushed into a title fight in the UFC, Lashley tells SunSentionel.com that he wants to continue his slow build and get a few more wins under his belt before the fight of his life:
“When the fight comes with Fedor, which is going to be two, maybe three fights away, I will be definitely ready for him. It’s hard for me because when Brock (Lesnar) came in [to the UFC] Brock fought for the title after his second fight and everybody was [upset] about that. So I take a step back and say, ‘I’m going to take a different route.’ And I take my time and I have fights and everybody is like, ‘Why doesn’t Bobby fight Fedor?’ You can’t win for losing. There’s nothing I can do so I figure I’m going to do it the right way, and the way I know is the right way, and work my way up. I guarantee you I’m going to give the fans what they want. I’m going to be on this guy like he’s never seen before. So I’ll definitely put on a great show.”
Lashley makes his Strikeforce debut at the Strikeforce: Miami Showtime event on January 30th against Yohan Banks (2-1). He is also scheduled to fight on the April CBS card with no opponent named at this time.

Exclusive Interview with Bobby Lashley
Hmm, well at least he’s being smart and earning his way to the top, unlike Lesnar who got handed a title shot on a silver plater after he got tapped out in seconds of his first fight against Mir and beat a washed up hasbeen in Heath Harring. Though I don’t like how Lesnar has seemingly been given his title shot instead of earning like all the true fighters on the roster, I do wish the man a speedy recovery from his illness and can compete, because I wanna see him lose his title to a true fighter in Shane Carwin.
