“I would fight again. I have the hunger. My boxing coaches hit me up this morning, so we will be boxing here in a little bit. I did some strength and conditioning, so I’m in great shape. It was one of those things where you don’t have to fight, but it’s like, I still have that competitive edge, that competitive will that I’ve had my entire life.

“I think one thing that I will be doing is I will be competing in jiu-jitsu tournaments. That’s not as stressful on the body. I’ve always wanted to do a Bare Knuckles fight. I’ve talked to the Bare Knuckles owner. We talked a few times about possibly doing a fight. I may have to bring that by Vince before doing it. I stay ready so I can possibly do one of them.

“I think if I do MMA, it will definitely have to be under Bellator because I’m still contracted by Bellator. Bare Knuckles, I don’t know if I would be able to do it based on my Bellator contract, but we have talked about it, and jiu-jitsu I will definitely do.”

During the podcast, Lashley reported that when he and McIntyre left the business, we could see the amount of hunger that they had after coming back. They changed. They were in better shape and worked their hearts out to get back. And when they did get back, they still have that hunger for greatness in this business.

Lashley added that they didn’t come back just to be another guy in WWE. That’s why their match this weekend is so special. It’s a match of putting oneself in Hell in the Cell and doing whatever it takes for that title.
