Video: Bobby Lashley Chokes Out Mike Cook

Look out, Bob Sapp.  Bobby Lashley is for real, or at least real enough to choke the hell out of Mike Cook in 24 seconds.  Cook apparently came down to the ring wearing a lucha libre mask, which right there just pissed Lashley off something fierce.  The former pro wrestler used one overhand right and then moved straight into a guillotine that finished the fight, flattening Cook out and leaving him flopping around on the mat like a fish.  Embarrassing. 

Lashley's now 3-0 and has a date with Bob Sapp on June 27 in a fight to determine once and for all who looks scarier with their shirt off.

When and where was this event?

SWEET, HE'S NO BROCK LESNAR THOUGH. LASHLEY SHOULD STEP DOWN AND GO FIGHT FEDOR IN THE LOW LEVEL STAGES OF MMA.

YEP LASHLEY WOULD HAVE EVEN BEATEN FEDOR'S BIG GOOFY COWARD ASS WITH THAT ONE. I DON'T THINK THAT OL'FEDOR WOULD HAVE EVEN HAD AN ANSWER FOR THAT HAD LASHLEY SNATCHED HIM UP IN IT. FUCKIN LOW LEVEL CHICKEN SHIT RUSSIAN COWARD.

This was last night Necro.

Not a bad little rush he put on that guy. I see so many guys open for that guillotine when they get a TD stuffed, and no one ever goes for it. He had that dude flopping around like a chicken with its head cut off. I think it is great they are starting to rebuild the HW divisions in every promotion. Alot of great HWs coming up.

@ Necrophyte It was just outside of Edmonton Alberta Canada...I didnt even know it was going on till last night and sadly it was sold out =(

You know Monson showed him how to do that choke training down at ATT.

uhhhh....did someone pay that goof to flop around on the mat for dramatic purpose? That guy isnt an MMA fighter gotta be a hired actor.

Has Lashley been tested for steroids? Hes fucking huge.

when size is your main advantage fighting a guy bigger than you might not be a good idea Sapp might actually win one. there was some good fights on that card marvin eastmans was sweet and their was another 205r slugfest

If that was suppose to be a step up in opponents, Jason Guida is severely underrated... cuz Lashley made that lipstick-wearing girl look like a girl. In front of millions of people. And made him flail like a fish caught in the chokehold of a gorilla.

Lashley looked great. 1 punch, straight to the choke, lights out Cook. 24 sec. paycheques must be pretty damn sweet. Can't wait to see more from this humble giant.

This was not impressive whatsoever. What a fucking joke Booby Lashley is.

In what world was that not impressive? He squeezed that guys neck with such force that his entire central nervous system was irreparably damaged and he started twitching and spazzing out like an infantile retard

suuuuuuuure.

A lot of people are hating on Lashley because he used to be (or still might be) a roidhead WWE superstar. I think he will be pretty dominant in these lower-level MMA leagues, simply because he is actually very athletic, fucking huge, and is a skilled wrestler. Until he actually shows well-rounded skills against a good fighter, people are going to doubt him. I'm not saying he is UFC-ready...I'm just saying that he is better than people are giving him credit for. It would be interesting to see him fight Lesner though.

If you watch the fight closely, you will see that Cook was actually choked out TWICE. The initial choke came just after the take-down, he went to his knees and flattened out, limply, and was out at this time. At this point, Lashley loosened a bit to readjust his grip, allowing Cook's brain some blood causing him to flail as he awoke. Cook then placed his hands on the mat and tried getting up to no avail and was promptly choked out again.

atleast lashley is starting from the bottom unlike cock lesnar.

good catch Doc!

I love when Internet Marks like Mdollas & 831 Son give opinions on MMA, when the only things they've fought are the common cold & acne outbreaks.

holy crap..
that was freaking brutal..
I think he's going to retire Bob Sapp..

He needs a better nickname than "the Dominator," though. I'm thinking something along the lines of 'Bobby "the Limb Crusher" Lashley.' I feel like I'm going out of my way to call him the Dominator. It doesn't roll off the tongue.

Lashley beat who? You guys might want to hold off on praising Lashley until he fights someone a LITTLE bit better. Anyone remember his last fight, or is that already forgotten?

Man, Russo beat me to it. That was totally a Monson choke. You can only do that shit if you have tree trunks instead of arm.

You know, Bobby was a 4-time NAIA wrestling All American for Missouri Valley, and I think a 3 time champ. And I am pretty sure he wrestled at 177 lbs in college as well. Apparently the WWE has quite a workout program.

Lashley is clearly fighting against people far below his skill level but I respect him for not assuming that his skill level is too high.

Fixed...

Prove Lashley was on roids.

Dude's a beast and umad.

WAR LASHLEY!

"The Dominator" was his pro-wrestling finisher. He should start doing that in MMA because... he can.

I never liked this guy in WWE cuz they talked about how he was a marine etc, and his wrestling skills looked crap, and his fake punches etc looked crap, but he looks impressive in this video. That guy was shaking like hell when he got choked, sic choke.

I just wonder if Lashley was off the growth would he be as impressive.

Didn't want to touch gloves due to fear of Pig Flu. No mean intentions!

Lashley caught him in that choke after he slipped on his syringe.

Very nice catch Doc, I didn't even think about that. It does look like that is what happened, and the sequence of events makes sense now. I was starting to think that maybe this whole fix thing was a possibility, not now. With Lashleys strength, it wouldn't be hard for him to choke a guy out quick with one hand and his body weight, and if the ref didn't stop it, he had no reason not to hold the choke on the unconcious guy.

do they test for steroids in that organization? Also cook looked like guida could have tapped him and i'm not talking about clay. just saying.

@ Soup Sandwich Server, Your a fucking clown. You dont know shit son. I happen to give credible statements about MMA you tool. Ive been following MMA since UFC 31 you fucking moron. And this wasnt even impressive. Once he fights someone credible then maybe my opinion will change. He couldnt even put out Jason Guida's lame ass, and this fight he just used his brute strength to squeeze the dudes neck. How can you say he looked great when he missed the first punch then just puts some no name into a guillotine that he slipped into. At least hes kinda humble but whatever. Im an Internet Mark? You fucking faggot you dont know shit. Go play elsewhere you girl.

Recap Lashley's career so far:

3-0
2 of those wins we find out absolutely nothing about Lashley because he destroyed the nobody he was fighting in under a minute
1 of those wins he looked like a trainwreck against a mediocre opponent.

Yet I am suppossed to believe he's legit?

@ mdollas

Have you ever been choked out ? People do weird shit snore, cough and even laugh. and then they wake up like wtf just happened

No, and i roll jiu jitsu, iv never passed out instantly from somone putting a fuckin guilliotine on lmao. Thanks though. I think that guy was just a lazy P.O.S who didnt attempt any escape and flailed like a bitch.

FAKE

true that most people tap from a guillotine because it hurts like hell. Most people go out from blood chokes because they don't hurt and you can still breath and they are in my opinion much more effective

BOBBY LASHLEY WOULD EAT THE HEAD RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF FEDORS BIG FAT RUSSIAN COWARD SHOULDERS, AND THATS ALL THERE IS TO SAY ABOUT THAT, AND THATS THAT FOLKS, AND THATS THAT. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT........

word^^ triangles, darce, anaconda are a few of my fav's

Lashley may have been a roidhead! but i dont think so now! he wants in the UFC and he knows he cant get away with it there! I want him in so he can Smash Brock!

@CAPS LOCK HAL
that's it bitch. That was the final blow to my patience. You called Fedor a coward and you misspelled 'Russian'.
This means only one thing - I'm gonna fight you bitch. I'll beat the shit out of you, just name when and where and I'll fuck you up, son, you got nothing on me.

why cant we all just get along and give each other blumpkins!!!

@AUSSIEJOSH, IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO HAPPEN. LASHLEY WOULD NOT STAND A CHANCE AGAINST LESNAR. IF THAT DIP SHIT JASON GUIDA CAN TAKE LASHLEY TO A 3 ROUND DECISION THEN WHAT THE FUCK MAKES YOU THINK THAT LASHLEY COULD EVEN SCRATCH THE SURFACE WITH LESNAR. SHIT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN SON. GIVE IT UP, AND QUIT DREAMING ABOUT SUCH A FAIRY TALE FOR YOURSELF.

@ 831 Son,
You have little respect for fighters, this is evident by your ignorance.

@ 831 Son... your half witted angry little rant there just proves you're a Mark. I've been watching & following MMA since before UFC 1, and I've NEVER seen the body shut down & fish flop like Cook's did. That's impressive, & even more so when you add the fact Cook was fresh, no previous damage. just squeezed his head like your mom does the zits on your back SON. tell your sister I said 'hi'

Wow faggot. My argument still stands strong. When he fights someone credible, then my opinion might change. Sure the "fish flopping" touched your pussy little heart but that doesnt mean it was a notable finish. Lashley is probably twice as strong as him and he pinched the dudes carotid artery thus resulting in Cook's little "fish flop." He missed the first punch, then luckily Cook slipped into Lashley's arm. You moron you suck at evaluating skill.

I LOVE IT WHEN EVERYONE ELSE GETS INTO FIGHTS ON HERE WITH SOMEONE OTHER THEN ME. I GOT TIRED OF KICKING EVERYONES ASS ON HERE. I NEEDED A BREAK, AND NOW I GET TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY SOMEONE ELSES FIGHTING. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES EVERYBODY. IN ALL, I GOTTA GO WITH 831 SON. UNTILL BOBBY LASHLEY STARTS FIGHTING SOME CREDIBLE FIGHTERS, AND WINNING IMPRESSIVLY THEN I WILL NOT BE IMPRESSED WITH LASHLEY EITHER. EVEN THOUGH THE CHOKE WAS IMPRESSIVE ITSELF, IT WAS ONLY ON A NO NAME NOBODY. HE DOES HAVE ALOT OF POTENTIAL THOUGH, AND I HOPE HE DOES GREAT IN THE FUTURE.

Wow this may be the only time that me and Hal will get along.
