Bobby Lashley Talks Desire To Face Brock Lesnar, Which WWE Stars Could Make It In MMA

Bobby Lashley continues to make it pretty clear that he wants to fight Brock Lesnar.

The former ECW Champion recently spoke to Boston’s 98.5 The Sports Hub to talk about various topics. In this interview, he gave some insight into his desire to fight the former WWE Universal Champion.

As for the reason, he said that it’s to finish business as there are a lot of reasons. He noted that in order to display his wrestling ability, he wanted to be on a big stage and the WWE is just that.

He brought up the fact that he is on the RAW brand now and Lesnar is the champion of that brand.

“I’ve been training and training and ever since I started the business everyone’s kinda compared Brock and I so I think the match needs to happen at some point in time.”

Lashley also talked about which WWE star could make the transition into MMA. He noted that believes everybody has an opportunity to make the jump because they don’t necessarily have a wrestling background or boxing or anything like that they’ve just picked it up and have been training for years.

He pointed out Chad Gable as he is an Olympian and due to him having a great work ethic. He added that Authors of Pain could make the jump due to one being a Kickboxing World Champion and one guy’s a multiple-time wrestling champion.

“As far as other guys on the main roster, I think a lot of guys have the opportunity to do it. Since I’ve been in the ring with these guys, some of these guys are just tough beyond what people actually know of. I mean Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe. I think Samoa Joe would definitely be able to do it. Samoa Joe is great at kickboxing, he’s super aggressive — he’s tough. Shelton Benjamin, I think there’s a handful of guys who could possibly do it.”
