Bobby Lashley's for real - Chokes out Cook in 24 seconds

Post by askmass »

Cook came out wearing a Lucha mask, mocking Bobby's pro wrestling background.

Not a smart move.

Lashley refused to touch gloves at the start and flat out annihilates Cook in less than half a minute.

He's still in pro wrestling, too, over at TNA.

Could anyone have imagined a potential legit fight between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley for the UFC heavyweight belt two years ago?

Wild stuff.

I know nothing about MMA rules, but why was the match stopped? Did the guy fail to respond? Or was there a tapout of some sort?

If you look close, some say Cook taps as early as 1.54 on the tape and right after as Lashley completely grounds him he looks to the ref and releases the hold... the ref missed it, so Bobby clamps in so tight a second time with Cook completely prone to the point his legs are shaking for dear life. From there it was called.

Hopefully, between Brock Lesnar and Lashley's success, it'll put an end to the "but it's fake" chorus.

I shudder to think what Hollywood John Tatum (52nd degree blackbelt) could accomplish :)

He did it again in his most recent MMA match.

Looks like Lashley is indeed the real deal.
