The fight organization Strikeforce has added another fighter to its roster — Former World Wrestling Entertainment star and current heavyweight mixed martial artist Bobby Lashley.

Lashley (4-0) signed a multi-year agreement, which will officially start when he makes his Strikeforce debut at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. on Jan. 30.

“I’m looking forward to fighting for Strikeforce and challenging myself by taking on some of the top heavyweights in MMA,” said Lashley.

Lashley is a former collegiate wrestler at Missouri Valley College and served in the U.S. army. At 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds, he’ll be one of the larger fighters of the heavyweight division.

He made his professional debut in the sport on Dec. 13, 2008 with a 41-second TKO over Joshua Franklin. He then defeated Jason Guida, brother of UFC fighter Clay Guida, by unanimous decision, followed by back-to-back submissions in the first round of his next two fights.

The news comes just days after Strikeforce announced the signing of former UFC middleweight Dan Henderson.

Alright! Strikeforce is going to start making some noise.

Now they just need to hop on the Japanese names out there

nice, its about time lashley has good skills cant wait to see him.

Showtime are knuckleheads if they put him on the main brand show.

If they keep him on Challengers, then they've chosen wisely.

I'm loving Showtime more and more... :luvbed:

lashley will get wrecked hes not any good at all

They're gonna rush him, not a good idea

Lashley has not impressed me at all. Not excited at all for this.

Lashley = Stepping out his league to soon = Owned.

Lashley is just as good as Brock IMO. Not too excited about either of them...

hard to compare Lashley to Brock
