Assuming the reports are right, UFC 116's viewership pattern provides all the explanation needed for Strikeforce's interest in former pro wrestler Dave Batista.
Strikeforce met last month with Batista about the possibility of an mixed martial arts bout. CEO Scott Coker sees a parallel between Batista and Brock Lesnar, the Ultimate Fighting Championship's heavyweight titleholder.
"Look at Brock Lesnar," Coker told Sherdog.com last week. "He made the crossover. Why not Batista?"
Like Lesnar, Batista became a marquee name in World Wrestling Entertainment's choreographed shows. And like Lesnar, he wants to try his hand at real fighting.
But the similarity ends there...More?
