It\u2019s obvious that Batista slimmed down a great deal and he looked imposing with all of those tattoos and such, but when the bell rang, that rhino on the other side of the cage ran forward and clocked him. The punch wobbled him. Batista was in retreat mode and then the rhino tired and he was easy prey for the better conditioned former WWE champion. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Although Batista won, this fight proved that he didn\u2019t belong in the cage, unless it\u2019s the hell in the cell at the WWE. He just doesn\u2019t have it. If a mediocrity can ring his bell, then what would a guy with some skill do?<\/p>\n<p>The name \u201cBrock Lesnar\u201d keeps coming up now because people want to know who would \u201creally win\u201d if they fought. Well, I will make this simple: BROCK. Lesnar may have been part hype\/part substance, but he beat some legitimate guys. He would roll over the 43 year old Batista quickly and probably win with the first shot he threw. I wasn\u2019t impressed with how well Batista took that shot. He was seriously rattled. There is no way that he would survive 2 minutes with Lesnar.<\/p>\n<p>The idea should be to return to pro wrestling. He tried MMA and didn\u2019t do well\u2026so move on. If he steps up the competition, they will be carrying him out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newzbreaker.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19486\" title=\"NEWZBREAKER-BANNER\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/NEWZBREAKER-BANNER.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jim Minkle I sat down and finally watched Batista (Dave Bautista) throw down with that fatty over the weekend and it didn\u2019t look good.
