Current Impact Wrestling Heavyweight Champion Bobby Lashley also moonlights as a professio🐼nal MMA fighter, possessing a record of 15-2-0.
Lashley, who returns to action at B🔯ellator 179, would like to fight the legendary Fedor Emelianenko.
“I think every heavyweight wants to get the opportunity to fight Fedor Emelianenko before he completely retires,” Lashley told . “That was one thing that I was hoping to get early on. I have all the respect for Mitrione; I think Mitrione is an incredible person. I like that fight with Fedor, but I know they’re still going to give Mitrione the opportunity to fight him. After he fights him, hopefully they open the doors for me.”
The professional wrestler, a current TNA World Champion, has also held th🌃e WWE United States Title and the ECW Heavyweigh🌊t Title during his pro wrestling career. Speaking of pro wrestlers, Brock Lesnar is another fight that Lashley wanted, but he no longer sees it happening.
“I think it’s shut. I would like to say it’s not shut, but I think it’s shut,” Lashley said. “I think the WWE is taking really good care of him right now, which they should, because he’s a huge star for them. If they’re taking care of him there’s no real reason for him to keep stepping back over. He made a huge paycheck on his last, so I don’t think he even wants to come back and do anything anymore.”
Bellator 179 takes place on Friday, May 19 from the SSE Arena in London, England with Paul ♎Daley and Rory MacDonald headl💎ining.
