Bobby Lashley expected for April's Strikeforce CBS card:
No opponent has been determined, though an announcement could come within the next week.
With three title fights already booked for the CBS-televised card, Lashley (5-0) may be part of the night's un-aired preliminary card.
... A fourth fight could be shown via delay on the CBS broadcast, time permitting. Sources said the Lashley fight is expected be that featured bout.

They still have a whole month to find an opponent or three to stick in there for him to sit on. I mean you wouldn’t want someone fighting Lashley to have too much notice before the fight.
Lashley has TBA's number.
9 times out of 10, he beats TBA’s ass.

Lol that would be awesome but we know he won’t take that fight. I bet it’ll be James Thompson or that guy that’s fighting Barnett on Sunday.

No way
Strikeforce will put Lashley in their under card. He’s too big of a draw.

Lashley has a good following.

These are the things Bobby Lashley actually has: no personality, no charisma, and no one that actually cares about him.
This is a man who in the WWE had the whole promotion behind him, a huge push leading into a Wrestlemania event that did over a million buys and did absolutely nothing with it. He was released less than a year later.

If they put 0-0 Hersh vs a terrible can on the main card why would they shy away from Lashley.
Not to mention they put Cung Le vs a mediocre Scott Smith in the main event over a title fight. Not to mention the Fedor fight over a title fight. Strikeforce is often more about hype than actual competition at this point. Canseco vs Hersh may headline on of their events regardless of who is on the card.
Yeah I guess you’re right, but if Lashley will only fight scrubs its obscene that he gets on the main card with all the title fights. I’d like to think they’ll stop putting him on the main card, but its wishful thinking perhaps. Its pretty obvious now the guy isn’t interested in progressing his MMA career
where else do they put him...
it’ll technically be a main card fight, just taped so they can ensure no issues..
although there is a chance that he may not make the air…
may 15th is pretty stacked too so, i dk where else they would put him…
i am thinking that fedor, lahley and herschel could all see the june card too

Nah, I am pretty sure he is fighting this guy.

No way, campbells cans are too hard to crush, if they’re not going to let Lashley go at the pace he’s comfortable with he wants to fight Overeem.

I wouldn't be surprised if he beat Overeem.
Overerrm has been fed so many cans he probably thinks they are real food. Plus Overeem often buckles under pressure.
NEWS FLASH Lashley's Opponent IS

Bobby Lashley vs. Sean O’Haire (3-2-0) or Sylvester Terkay PLZ! Preferably not the guy that lost to Mr. Shark…
Terkay is one of those guys who would have been an animal if the sport had matured earlier (read: if there was any money in it). Unfortunately, his collegiate career ended right around the same time as UFC 1, so he went into pro wrasslin’ rather than developing his combat skills. He was just a notch below Kurt Angle as a collegian and had a much bigger frame.
Totally off-topic
I once saw Sean O’Haire in Wal-Mart. His shopping cart was full of Nair. That is all.

@deowade
That would actually be a decent match up for Lashley at this point in his career so expect them to stay away from that. They are already doing the same last minute crap they did with his last fight, I doubt they will try to book him any better this time either.
Hopefully he gets matched up well...
…but we all know he’ll be fighting boxcar bob

Lashey vs. Petruzelli
Kimbo Killer can get some hype, I imagine. And I’m reasonably sure Lashley would pound him.
seth wins.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.

Probably smart of Strikeforce to not mention an opponent until after the commission makes a decision but you have to really wonder about what that says about the opponent. Is it another guy the commission might not accept?
by who me on Mar 18, 2010 8:45 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
It’s pretty clear Strikeforce doesn’t know what the hell they are doing with their CBS shows. One of their biggest draws may not even have his match aired, AND they haven’t even lined up an opponent for him a month out (yet again). I have a felling CBS is going to give them the boot pretty soon, that’s probably why the UFC isn’t going to counter program them with a live event, they don’t feel they need to.
