Boby Lashley To Fight Ken Shamrock

Wow. This should be interesting. Ken Shamrock is beyond his prime and Bobby Lashley is just starting his career in MMA. This is like the generic super-fight or Lesnar Vs. Couture. Ken Shamrock is a strong veteran but not in the same way that Randy Couture. Bobby Lashley, I honestly haven’t seen him fight for more than 47 seconds, but I can imagine that he’s pretty fast and will be looking to send Shamrock out with his hang hanging low. Lashley has a strong wrestling (non-WWE) background and if he can elude Shamrocks strikes and/or submissions he may have a chance.

According to MMA Junkie and Blood Elbow, this fight is going to take place at March Badness, a Hybrid Boxing/MMA event. It is set for action on March 21st at Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida and is being promoted by Squared Ring Promotions, owned by Roy Jones Jr.

Other fights on the card are Seth Petruzelli Vs. Doug Marshall. If Seth doesn’t get lucky in the first round like he did with Kimbo Slice, he’ll have his hands full with the hard hitting “Rhino”.

One Bloody Elbow reader commented:

This is a tough one to pick. Bobby Lashley was the ECW champ a couple times as well as the United States champ. On the other hand, Ken Shamrock did win the King of the Ring tournament and the Intercontinental title. So hard to pick…

I got quite the laugh out of that. Rumor has it that they may try to push this for PPV.
