We’re now having to rely on a South Korean [...]

This is from early December, but worth taking a look at–its a conversation between longtime pro wrestling manager/promoter Paul Heyman and Bobby Lashley, dealing specifically with comparisons between Brock Lesnar and Lashley:

As we’ve been suggesting would happen for nearly a week now, DREAM has officially added a MMA rules match between Ikuiza ‘Punk’ Minowa aka ‘Minowaman’ and K-1 competitor Errol Zimmerman. Unless there’s something that I’m not aware of, this will be Zimmerman’s MMA debut.
