Batista/MMA Update: Training Details & Strikeforce/Lashley Rumors
Batista is still in active training under the Cesar Gracie camp for a possible mixed-martial arts pro fighting debut "early next year."
Although talk in the MMA community has died down a bit, Batista was the focus of a potential fight with fellow WWE veteran Bobby Lashley under the Strikeforce promotional banner.
Batista plans on fighting in a cage (or ring) under professional MMA rules regardless of a Strikeforce deal, as the piece notes the desire for a debut match by early 2011.
For those keeping score, Bobby Lashley will step back into the cage later this month, as he's scheduled to fight Chad Griggs on August 21 for the Strikeforce event in Houston airing on Showtime.
