I'm sure a Bobby Lashley match will be all over the internet thanks to wrestling fans.
According to wiki Sims is 6'8 and 265lbs.

Wow that was pretty much an estimated guess for me too!

Here are the results with my quick thoughts on each fight.
Bobby Lashley via RD1 (2:06) TKO It looked like from the get go Bobby would win. Sims looked like he gained 70 lbs since Ultimate Fighter and Bobby just used his ground game. Bobby is actually a pretty impressive MMA fighter.
Robbie Lawler via RD1 (3:33) KO Pretty much a crazy fight and until Lawler won I thought he was going to lose. He was getting his ass kicked bad.
Herschel Walker via RD3 (2:17) TKO This stopped being a OMG LOOK AT HERSCHEL fight real fast. Turns out Walker took his training really serious and it showed.
Cris Cyborg Santos via RD3 (3:40) TKO Find a girl that can mess with Santos. She is tough.
Nick Diaz via RD1 (4:38) TKO Diaz needs to start blocking more punches if he wants to keep his title. Also, if you get a chance his post fight interview is awesome.

That's pretty much EXACTLY what I was expecting. I didn't see the fight but Lashley is no joke! He's just an all around gifted athlete. He's got everything from size, strength, speed, and conditioning. The only other guy I've ever seen anyone so well rounded with the same insane size and strength is...well, Brock Lesnar! I nominate this fight to happen ASAP!
The dude's confident too. He's watched Brock's matches and said he sees all the holes in his game and doesn't doubt he can beat him for a second. I think Steroid is a sleeper competitor in the MMA! But can he beat Brock? Man only time will tell but that's why I want to see it

I won't say to much about Bobby until he fights someone not there just to collect a paycheck. But he looked good. If you get the chance find Lawler vs Manhoef and Diaz vs Zaromskis. Those fights were pretty exciting.

I saw the Lashley fight. That guy looked like a pudgy bum. Though I did laugh when he dared Lashley to a good old test of strength.

Yeah you don't want to go test of strength with Lashley. Is Simms an idiot? You can totally see that Steroid has retard strength

Wes had his hand so far up Bobby couldn't reach it without a step ladder. I was hoping Bobby would sock him in the face when that was happening.

The thing with Couture is he just simply knows how to win fights. Even if he doesn't put the guy out, he jut knows how to get the W. He's just so experienced, confident, and most importantly, relaxed out there

I wanted to pick Coleman but you don't spit in the wind, tug on superman's cape or pick against The Natural. Also Coleman trains with Wes Sims so that makes him less good in my mind.

Yeah that's how I feel about betting against Randy. Even if you think the guy has a good chance of beating him, you still just don't bet against him.
And, yeah I agree, now that you mentioned Coleman's training with Wes Simms, I can't bet against the Natural for sure now. I'm only not making predictions because I don't know who 75% of the fighters are on that card. The only guys I'm familiar with are Terror Serra, Quick Swick, Mardquardt and Frank Trigg. I'm still trying to remember Trigg's face though. Regardless, I gotta go with Serra. The dude put away George St. Pierre, the same guy everyone predicted to dethrone Matt Hughes, and was successful. Plus I've seen Serra on the TUF show and the dude is just SO dedicated and very smart. He'd make a great coach too. On TUF, as one of the fighters, he was still a better coach to his team than half the coaches we've seen on TUF

You know who Mac Danzig is. He won one of the seasons of TUF. He was on the Hughes vs Serra season of TUF. He was like the only person on Hughes team to win any fights.
