AJ Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Flipping through the channels last night when I find Bobby Lashley standing in a ring beating up somebody. It was in TNA wrestling. It looks as if Lashley will be spending some time back in the world of pro wrestling. This may be old news, but I was wondering if you think this will help or hurt his MMA stock and a possible jump at some point to the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth34 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 It will definitely hurt. It would have been cool to see him on this upcoming season of TUF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooke Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 My feelings about the subject are opposite Smooth34's. He is making some easy bank inbetween training and pro fights. He has mentioned many times that he wants to take his training slowly and not get thrown to the wolves to early as he is still honing his new found skills. If he continues to improve and shows it in the cage then I have no doubts that the UFC will come a calling. Keep in mind Brock had the same background (and obviously has had great success in the UFC) and a potential fight between the two would break the bank on pay-per-view buys.

Can you imagine the PPV buys between TNA, WWE, and UFC fans? I agree, except for the fact he is more likely to get hurt and hinder his mma training. That is the only concern I think he would have.

I think they are really trying to separate themselves from fake wrestling, especially after Brock's actions after UFC 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
