All three of those guys had a wrestling or martial arts (Walker has a 5th degree black-belt in Tae Kwon Do) background going in, and Walker is just a physical freak of nature with his fitness regimen. Batista is going in there totally cold, no martial arts training whatsoever. I think it's going to be ugggggly.
I disagree, Batista has a martial arts background. It is the called Eskrima. A brutal martial art FYI.
Interesting, I didn't know Batista ever trained in that, and I didn't even know what it is. A quick google search tells me this though:
"Eskrima or escrima refers to a class of Filipino martial arts that emphasize weapon-based fighting with the stick, staff or knife."
So even though it might helps his hand-eye coordination and physical fitness, I still don't see much use of it in an MMA setting.

Batista claimed to have signed a deal with Strikeforce & the owner immediately came out and said it was not true. Batista can't fight, he is too old to start & has no natural ability or training in amateur wrestling, boxing or legitimate martial art. Batista can't transition & legitimately compete in any MMA group. Kurt Angle would have a better chance at it, even with all his physical problems (neck especially). Batista will either go running back to the WWE in a year, make low budget action movies or just disappear.
