    I think its Bobby Lashley, cause of his wrestling background and hes in good physical conditions too

    He used to weigh well over 300 in his strongman days but he weighed in at 277 in his mma debut but I dont know what the weight restriction was on that fight or if he had to cut any weight to make it down to that.

    Very true, people shooting their mouths off again with no clue about this Strong Man competition.



    The guys who compete it this are absolute animals & have superior strength in many areas that most MMA guys don't even know about.



    Mariusz Pudzianowski has amateur boxing background & trains in Kyokushin kaikan karate, I think he's a green belt or something.



    Here's just a few of the most well known practitioners of Kyokushin kaikan karate: Georges St. Pierre, Bas Rutten, Ryo Chonan, Semmy Schilt, Dolph Lundgren, Francisco Filho & Andy Hug(RIP)





    By the way, how many MMA fighters do you know that can lift 5 atlas stones (Weighing from 220-352Lbs), one after the other on to a platform normally above shoulder height?

    The only one with real fight experience is James Toney.



    Bobby Lashley? maybe... he's still yet to answer a lot of questions ex. can he take a hit? how good is his standup really? submission defence? work off his back?

    Was Canseco really a choice in the poll. ROFL he is a horrible fighter he got raped by Choi.



    I think Lashley has a big chance to suceed. He is strong, and has impressive ground & pound. The only question is how good is his stand up?

    Steroid beasts go to Jokeforce where they aren't tested. UFC champions have been stripped of their title for juicing. And, Lashley looked horrible against a bum, but I'm sure he'll do well in Jokeforce where there is no competition.

    if Mariusz Pudzianowski got some good stand up skills then maybe, Isaw his first fight, he used brutal leg kicks as if they were he best attack, then he busted out a right hanb and ground and pound. James toney could also do well if he gets good take down defense. (99% sure that a take down will be the first thing his aponent tries, unless he fights kimbo..) Im actually interested in seeithat match up.

    Pudz weighs a lean 320lbs, but it's all roid muscle so it should be easy for him to cut down to make HW. He would smash the rest of the options.

    In Texas we can keep ours in our console whether you have a licence or not., If you get a permit you can carry your gun anywhere you like just about. MMA is only a sport in Texas we carry guns for life threatening self defence..

    I laugh when I see the bobbies in the UK having only a stick to fight off people. I saw a cop show where a guy tried to run over a cop in the UK, and they took forever to try to get the guy, in the USA if you threaten a cop with your vehicle, they open fire and kill you instantly, takes about 3 seconds lol

    Whether you think his stand up is bad or good Bobby lashley is the only one that has a shot. He is the only one that has time to get better and he is getting better. It is not his fault that all the puses he has fought stupidly wanted to fight him ont the ground.

    Bodybuilders have real strength....how do you think they get their muscles to grow...



    Well, toney is very powerful but old. If he learns to sprawl he's probably a big threat for quite a few fighters, that's the heavyweight division for you.



    Mariusz has awesome strength, but how many times have we seen someone who looks like a beast enter the ring and look like a little girl? Tyson used to chop guys like that down by the dozens.



    Lol conseco. Walker is ok, not much time left. Lashley gets my vote because he has similar strength compared to brock, but he's taking the time to learn as well, and learning is the biggest thing.

    Lashleys wrestling is not compared to Brocks... I'm not really sure of Lashleys wrestling history, but Brock was the Div. 1 Heavyweight National champion in 99 and 2nd place in 2000 he is a monster.(or could be the other way around) He ws the best the U.S. had to offer. Lashley might have been a star in his college but Lesnar was definately the best.

    Bobby Lashley has years of wrestling experience and hes been doing MMA for a few years I say Lashley has a bright future in MMA.Wish hed stop going back to Pro wrestling (acting),and using his MMA reputation as part of his credibility there.Its acting please don't mix the two its disrespectful to mixed martial artists everywhere.

    I didn't say his wrestling i said his strength. And lets be clear, Brock may have all of those accomplishments but again it doesn't mean much in the ring. Look at GSP, you can put all the DIV1 national champ wrestlers you want agaisnt him and he'll still outwrestle them, not to mention the fact that Brock didn't even dominate a much smaller, much older couture in that area, so that settles that.



    Lashley is the best bet here, arrogance and complacence is the road to defeat and lashley is taking his time like i said, while still having obvious physical gifts.
