damn gonna be interesting to say the least ...Former WWE star and MMA rookie Bobby Lashley (1-0) will meet UFC hall-of-famer Ken Shamrock (27-13-2) at the March 21 "March Bandess" event.
The hybrid MMA/boxing card, promoted by the event's boxing headliner Roy Jones Jr. and his Square Ring Promotions company, takes place at the Pensacola Civic Center in Florida and airs on pay per view.Lashley, a two-time NAIA national wrestling champion who wrestled with the WWE from 2005 to 2008, made his MMA debut in December. There, the American Top Team product scored a swift 41-second TKO of Joshua Franklin.
He'll now meet Shamrock, a longtime MMA fighter who recently snapped a five-fight, four-and-a-half-year losing streak with a first-round TKO of super heavyweight Ross Clifton. The 45-year-old will go for his first back-to-back wins since stoppages of Brian Johnston and Alexander Otsuka in 1996 and 2000.
Set to headline the MMA portion of the March 21 card is Seth Petruzelli (10-4), who recently knocked out Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson before EliteXC's ultimate demise. Petruzelli fights for the first time since the October event, and he'll take on former WEC light-heavyweight champion Doug "Rhino" Marshall (9-3).
In other action, former top UFC heavyweight contender Jeff Monson (27-8) takes on IFL heavyweight champion Roy "Big Country" Nelson (13-3).
On the boxing portion of the card, Jones (52-5), an eight-time world champion and former Olympian, takes on Omar Sheika (27-8) in a light-heavyweight contest.
