Bobby Lashley Vs. Kimbo Slice?
Fightline.com has learned that Bobby Lashley’s management team has been throwing his name around to MMA groups including UFC and EliteXC. Bobby Lashley vs. Kimbo Slice is one fight that has been considered.
UFC isn’t too hot on Lashley, with Lesnar’s huge debut still fresh in everyone’s memory. It’s said they don’t want it to look like they’re repeating the same gimmicks and recruiting guys from pro wrestling.
Lashley might just end up making more money with TNA Wrestling than any MMA promotion right now, and the #2 wrestling company in the world is still considered an option for him. Kurt Angle has been pushing hard for him to come to TNA Wrestling and has assured him he has a job if he wants it.
He must have really hated WWE to walk away from seven figures a year.

please check bobby’s collegiate and military wrestling records before you assume kimbo will beat him. if it goes to the ground its over for kimbo. and im sure bobby can hit hard too! and i question kimbo’s stamina. id like to see both of them on a treadmill! kimbo doesnt even look like an athlete.

I unno these wreslters that go to mma i have bad feeling about for example Brock leasner who dosent know Mma but has a solid wresltling backround hand probably has hard hands couldnt defeat Frank mir due to his ground game but he was surely winning the rounds of stand up if u give these powerful athlets some tech nique from Mma they wont do so bad.

Franklin Lashley attended Missouri Valley College, where he won three national amateur wrestling championships between 1996 and 1998 and placed fourth in 1995. Throughout 1997 and 1998, he was the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) National Wrestling Champion.[2] Lashley later joined the United States Army, where he continued to wrestle.[1][3]

From what I heard, Lashley was fired from WWE from steroid use. I would like to see this fight, Lashley would most likely win if it were to go to the ground because Kimbo does not have a good ground game.

Lashley is not just awsome wrestler, he know more than what people think, Lashley has stated in a few interviews that he was trained in every style of combat. To the point the guy is lethal, and i even heard that his striking is dangerous so saying kimbo has and advantage standing is fuckin stupid!!! Kimbo is not a complete fighter, i would have to say that lashley is the more complete fighter and more acomplished athlete. and Stamina don’t even argue because from what i saw in the match with james thompson, Kimbo’s stamina is garbage at best. Lashley would Destroy Kimbo in the 1st round.
