So says Shane…



According to fiveouncesofpain.com, the rumored bout between Bobby Lashley vs. Shane Del Rosario is not happening at Strikeforce: Miami. Bobby Lashley is still expected to debut for the company at the event, but at this time, an opponent is not known. Del Rosario stated that he may return to the promotion in March, with Lavar Johnson as a possible opponent. Del Rosario did comment on the fight that almost happened with Lashley, stating the following…

"They asked me if I wanted to do it and I said, ‘Yeah, let's do it for sure'," explained Del Rosario. "Then they're like, "Alright, well we'll get back to you", and they got back to me and it was a no."

"But it did seem like it was going to happen at first so I was really excited. But I kind of had it in the back of my mind that it wasn't really a good decision for his camp. They said that he already said yes and they said , "Well it's up to you", so we were like, ‘Alright, let's do this!'. I don't know if they didn't really expect for us to say that, but you know, whatever."

"He's a very athletic guy, so I'm sure if he's doing well we might meet again some other time."
