Next Level Sports Marketing

We’re going to have to check it out just because it might be an epic trainwreck.

One thing that won’t be a trainwreck is Bobby Lashley, who will be making his second professional MMA appearance on the undercard. The only thing that Lashley lacks is experience in the sport–the guy is a beast, with many of the same tools as current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. He may actually be a *better* natural athlete than Lesnar which is downright sick to contemplate. He’s almost a physical mirror image of Lesnar at 6?3? and need to cut to get down to 265–he may have more speed and agility than Lesnar, who moves amazingly well for a man his size.

The only reason that Lashley *isn’t* in the UFC is very likely that Lesnar is. Dana White has basically said that he doesn’t want to bring in a guy with essentially the exact same “gimmick” as his current champ. In the meantime, Lashley has been training with American Top Team in Florida where he spars with, among others, Jeff Monson. The talent at ATT is sick–their workouts and sparring sessions could be sold on pay-per-view.
