With Brock Lesnar gone, there's another former WWE superstar still out there fighting among the ranks of MMA's heavyweight division: Bobby Lashley, also a two-time TNA champion, who pulls double duty by fighting in Bellator MMA while still signed to TNA wrestling. While he hasn't had the success of Lesnar, Lashley's 11-2 record as a professional mixed martial artist is nothing to scoff at. He's won both his Bellator MMA fights so far, recently signed a new contract with the promotion, and a title shot is potentially on the horizon. That's not where the big money is for Bobby Lashley, however. As far as MMA is concerned, the biggest potential match-up would be against another wrestler. There are a number of names out there who could fit the bill, and Bellator MMA, who have shown that they are willing to book purely spectacle-based bouts by booking the likes of Tito Ortiz vs. Stephan Bonnar and Ken Shamrock vs. Kimbo Slice, have actively been pursuing a few of them. Who would be the best candidates for a big "wrestler vs. wrestler" fight with Bobby Lashley? Which match ups would really pique the fan's interest? Lets take a look! Here are six wrestlers Bellator MMA should consider signing for a fight with Lashley!
