Bobby Lashley vs Bob Sapp

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer first reported that Bobby Lashley will be taking on Bob Sapp on June 27th in Biloxi, Mississippi. Lashley then confirmed the rumor on his Twitter account. Lashley is a former WW3 professional wrestler, but he has real wrestling credentials as well. He was a 2-time NAIA wrestling champion and now trains with American Top Team. Sapp is a former NFL football player who became a fighting legend over in Japan. His fight with Antonio Nogueira is one of MMA's all time great fights and it's great to see Sapp steering away from Japanese pro wrestling back into MMA. This is definitely a big step up for Lashley, who is coming off a win over Jason Guida in Roy Jones Jr.'s March Badness show last month. It will be interesting to see how he deals with a guy as big and strong as Bob Sapp. More than likely this fight will be shown on PPV. Stay tuned for more details.
