The Miami Herald has a lengthy profile/interview with Bobby Lashley, the *other* former WWE superstar who has turned his attention to MMA. Very good piece and well worth reading–Lashley makes his MMA debut on 12/13 in Miami and here’s his assessment of his abilities:

The 6-4, 275-pound Lashley will battle Joshua Franklin, a 30-year-old fighter also making his pro debut on Dec. 13 in Miami. Franklin has a background in boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

”I hate to jinx myself, but I think in MMA I am going to really, really shock some people,” Lashley said. “What I’ve learned in MMA is it’s not just the best wrestler, the best striker, the best jiu-jitsu guy. It’s almost the best athlete, and as far as shear athletic ability, I think there’s not going to be too many heavyweights who can even come close to my athletic ability.
