Roughly ten days out from the event Bobby Lashley has no opponent and Strikeforce says they are starting again from square one.
One of the more interesting stories to surface within the last week in the world of mixed martial arts revolves around former WWE wrestler and two-time NAIA National champion Bobby Lashley. Lashley, 33, signed with what many writers consider to be the consensus #2 major mixed martial arts promotion in North America in Strikeforce...
the Florida State Boxing Commission has approved Bobby Lashley vs Jimmy Ambriz, but the bout hasn't been signed, and Strikeforce may still be considering other options less than two weeks before the fight.
Source close to one of the fighters involved with the bout that Jimmy Ambriz ( 14-12-1) has been selected to fight Bobby Lashley at the upcoming Strikeforce: Miami show on January 30, 2010.
With Bobby Lashley's original opponent vetoed by the Florida State Boxing Commission, Strikeforce has come up with a new opponent, Jimmy Ambriz.
