Sapp is a joke. That is Lashleys best oppoent so far. So does that make Lashley a joke too? Yes. He needs to fight talent and not no name pussies. Fight Fedor.. That's earning your UFC deal. Or he could have went on TUF that's earning your UFC deal. He is a bitch plain and simple.. He wants to earn a deal by fighting 2nd and 3rd rate talent.

Ok but you have to remember, hes a up and comer. This is what people who havn't been in WWE do....they work there way up. Lashley will be in UFC in time but hes trying to do the right way. Im sure there will be another TUF with heavyweights that he can join.

Anyway! The event is cancelled.

That's BS... Lashley has been pimping himself out in every interview possible saying that he wants to fight Lesnar... if he's an up and comer and needs to go up the proper way and work his way up, then why is he saying in every interview that he wants to face Lesnar?

It's not that he wants to work his way up, it's that he's too proud to go onto TUF, and he's too afraid to face Fedor, regardless of the fact that Affliction is a big fail.

If Lashley wasn't training for an upcoming fight, its a bit harsh calling him a "chickenshit punk" because he wouldn't step up at a weeks notice to fight the guy many people see as the undisputed number 1 heavyweight in the MMA business (not my personal opinion, he has had 4 fights in 2 years, none against top class opposition).

Why wouldn't Affliction choose Don Frye who was calling Fedor out, or Vitor Belfort? Perhaps they thought Lashley not training and being a rookie would make Fedor look good

If he wasn't training then he's simply an idiot. As was stated before in this thread, he has other fights coming up before he can start wrestling full time for TNA and any good fighter continuously trains in the ring. Not to mention smaller fighters who aren't as good have taken on bigger opponents with less notice in the past. Lashley didn't take this fight because he was afraid of Fedor and doesn't want to hurt his reputation, just like he didn't take TUF because he didn't want to lower himself to having to earn a UFC contract properly.

His next fight is coming up in October, so why would he be training in July? Most fighters based on interviews have 2 month training camps meaning he would be back in intense training from August, considering the Affliction fight was supposed to be held on August 1st, why would he already be in MMA training? The guy is doing both pro-wrestling and MMA, so while he may be in the gym doing general cardio and weight training, there is a lot of difference between that and training for a fight.

I see just from your numerous replies to my posts that you are one of those who has your opinion and everyone else is wrong if they don't agree, fine, I don't care if you agree with me and wouldn't want you to, we have our opinions, but when you step into a ring/cage and have your first match/fight, then I will take your opinion of calling someone a chickenshit punk seriously, but until then, I'll look at it as no more than a keyboard warrior sat behind his screen calling people who could probably kill you with 2 punches punk bitches.

As I said about Vitor Belfort and Don Frye, there are 2 name guys that were ready to step up and take on Fedor who were in training and therefore would have been ready, M-1 (Fedor's promoters) might have been scared that someone like Frye could cause an upset so were hoping to get someone who wasn't in training who has 4 fights to his name and who would be taking the fight on a weeks notice so Fedor would look like a killer, I don't blame Lashley for not taking the fight.

As someone pointed out, Lashley hopes to eventually make it to the UFC, and racking up a winning streak will help that, facing Fedor doesn't make sense at this stage of his career.
