If Brock Lesnar is a pro wrestling-to-MMA success story, Bobby Lashley still remains something of a cautionary tale. After almost two years in MMA, he still has yet to face a high-quality opponent, and yet here is in this preview clip from tonight’s episode of “Inside MMA,” talking about how much he’d like to fight Fedor Emelianenko.

It’s tough to know exactly what to make of Lashley’s defense of his MMA career thus far. On one hand, he makes some decent points. He’s still fairly new to the sport, so why should he be ridiculed for not jumping in the cage against experienced veterans right away?

At the same time, because of his pro wrestling fame Lashley is pulling in far bigger paychecks than most 5-0 fighters will ever see. Eventually it would seem as though he has to justify that by fighting someone who actually matters.

Well, it looks like Strikeforce may finally officially jump the shark if Bobby Lashley gets his way.

On the surface, you can see how someone could make a comparison between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar: Both were college wrestlers who became WWE wrestlers and then became mixed martial artists. But if you scratch the surface at all, you realize that these comparisons aren’t even close to being valid.

You’d think that would be obvious to anyone who has seen Lashley and Lesnar fight, but it’s worth addressing again after recent comments from Strikeforce lightweight Josh Thomson, who in talking up his training partner and future Lesnar opponent, Cain Velasquez, made a rather bizarre comparison between Lashley and Lesnar.
