Bobby Lashley, the former WWE champion turned MMA fighter, is currently in talks with Strikeforce to compete for the San Jose-based organization, FanHouse has learned.
The MMA rookie hasn’t fought since his June 27 victory over Bob Sapp on the Prize Fight Promotions “Ultimate Chaos” pay-per-view, and still has two fights left on his contract with that organization. However, talks have heated up over the last few weeks with Strikeforce about Lashley making his debut on the Nov. 7 CBS show, headlined by Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers. As of Thursday morning, though, no deal has been signed.
Lashley was rumored to be facing Ron Waterman on a November Prize Fight MMA pay-per-view in Colorado. No word on who he would fight first should he sign with Strikeforce.
Lashley’s manager and agent Greg Bloom would not confirm nor deny that any talks are taking place with Strikeforce and Strikeforce officials could not be reached for comment.
