Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter Former WWE wrestler Batista created a lot of buzz earlier this month when he announced to TMZ.com that he will be fighting for the Strikeforce MMA promotion and already had his first opponent picked out. The latest is that a deal still has not been reached between Batista and Strikeforce, but Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker confirmed the negotiations and brought up the idea of pitting Batista against fellow former WWE wrestler Bobby Lashley, who is currently under contract with Strikeforce. When recently asked about facing Bobby Lashley in the cage, Batista said he would do it, but he wants a few fights to build to Lashley. Scott Coker thinks if they can get Lashley vs. Batista on CBS with a good semi-main event then they can do big ratings. Lashley is still recovering from a knee injury that caused his most recent fight to be postponed. Lashley's recovery is actually behind schedule and he will be out of action a bit longer than initially expected. In training for his MMA debut, Batista has hired a wrestling coach, a boxing coach and a jiu jitsu coach. |

| Everyone is writing Batista off without any reason. Maybe he's a little older than alot of guys in MMA, but his in great shape. Maybe he wasn't the best wrestler, but he's big, strong, and we've never seen him fight MMA. He could be a beast! |

| I know what your saying, we really don't know. But the only thing I have heard about him really fighting was when he got in a fight with Booker T and they way I heard it Batista got stomped. |

Hired a wrestling coach maybe he should of done that while with the WWE. Batisita i just dont doing well in MMA, sure he is a big dude but he doesnt have the speed of Lashley and isnt as strong as Lashley, plus all things considered Lashleys head is more into the game than Batista will ever be. |
