Bobby Lashley vs. Wes Sims is official

Strikeforce finally announced an opponent for the former WWE and current TNA wrestler and MMA figher Bobby Lashley and it will be the 6′8″ Wes Sims January 30th on Showtime.  Sims is a 3 time UFC veteran with an unorthodox fighting style with a bit of controversy surrounding him in previous fights. 

Bobby Lashley Fight Is On

Strikeforce has struggled to secure a worthy opponent for Lashley up until now. On January 15th the Florida State Boxing Commission wouldn’t approve Strikeforce’s first choice to fight Lashley which was Yohan Banks on the grounds the fight would not be competitive.  The next day a fight between Lashley and MMA journeyman Jimmy Ambriz was approved by the FSAC but Strikeforce cancelled the fight on January 19th for unknown reasons. 

This should be a decent test for Lashley since Sims is a big heavyweight with a long reach.  Lashley hasn’t fought since June 27th 2009 which ended in a win by submission due to strikes over Bob Sapp.  Hopefully this will be a good fight and not a freak show but we will have to wait until this weekend to find out!
