Team Alpha Snail - People say that the UFC would be less respected but lets remember they have James Toney his freak show co main event match against Couture that ended how we all knew it would. If Batista wins enough fights and stays in the sport he's surely still a deserving mma fighter like anybody else as is Brock therefore I have no problem with this match happening. <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
Toney was a world champion in boxing, the whole boxer vs mma fighter, Dave is a wrestler/WWE, thats not exactly the same.
And he doesnt have the real wrestling background like a Brock.
Yeah fair enough he was a world champion but we all saw how that boxing vs mma thing went... Like I said why does his background necessarily matter if he wins enough fights to earn a shot at Brock why not let them fight?
HitmanMountain - It would do UFC 100 times 100 numbers, pure Anderson Silva Money, but it would also ruin the reputation of the sport permanently & I hope it never happens
Leigh - I have no problem with them putting it on but Batista can't fight
Probably not,but outside of the Booker T incident,why are we so sure of that?
His primary experience is in Kali and has trained with Cesar Gracie, but not sure to what degree. Brock on the other hand was a decorated collegiate wrestler and, as well all know, has legitimate MMA victories over guys like Herring, Mir and Couture.
So my .02 is that Batista can fight but doubt he'd pose much of a challenge to Brock or any legit MMA heavyweight. And at his age (40+) he's very late to the game.

Dave has been training extensively in MMA and Jiu-Jitsu with Cesar Gracie for the past couple years. He's even a blue belt under Cesar so I think he'll do just fine

He needs another six months to work on his sprawl
I'm sure he knows how to sprawl since he wrestled in HS
