MMA and professional wrestling are not exactly the same. But in the past, we have seen MMA fighters stepping inside the squared circle and pro wrestlers making it into the MMA world. Bobby Lashley is one such professional wrestler who had stepped foot into the world of mixed martial arts.

Lashley fought in Bellator MMA, Titan Fighting Championship, and other mixed martial arts promotions. But Lashley did not compete in UFC. Recently, during an episode of After The Bell with Corey Graves, Bobby Lashley commented on the atmosphere during the UFC PPVs.

The former WWE Champion got asked what it is about fighting that excites him. Addressing this question, Lashley said, “Some people like jump out of plane, some people get into it. There’s something about fighting that is so natural to me. It’s like the purest form of art when you go out there.”

“I don’t like going to watch UFC where the crowds are like, ‘Kill him, kill him, kill him.’ They don’t know what’s going on. There’s so much involved in fighting when you walk into the cage and you can feel the mat on your feet,” he added.

‘The Almighty’ is having a great run in WWE at the moment. He is scheduled to face former UFC Heavyweight Champion and current WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble PPV.
