Bobby Lashley Joins American Top Team
Posted by Larry Csonka on 12.04.2008
He’s getting serious!
American Top Team has announced on their website that former WWE Wrestler and multiple NAIA National Wrestling Champion Bobby Lashley has officially signed and joined American Top Team. Lashley trained with the gym last week, and according to ATT he then made the decision that ATT was the next step he needed to take in his MMA career. MMA stars such as WEC Featherweight Champion Mike Brown, Gesias 'JZ' Cavalcante, Thiago Alves, Denis Kang, Thiago Silva and Marcus Aurelio all train with ATT.
Starting up from small shows, getting together with a great MMA team...
Lashley is doing all the right things so far.

I guess no UFC for Lashly !
UFC President Dana White has stopped doing business with American Top Team and has only continued using Rich Franklin but thats it UFC and Dana white have served ties with anyone affiliated with American Top Team
So if Bobbys hopes and dreams are to one day be in the UFC he better find another fight camp before he thinks twice about approaching Dana White and the Ferriiti Brothers in Vegas !

Real question is
Will Black Lesnar and REAL Lesnar be a draw when he eventually comes to UFC??

Since when did the UFC stop doing business with American Top Team?

Hahah,
You are confusing ATT with AKA. One is American Top Team and, the one the UFC has had issues with, is American Kicking Boxing Academy. These are two totally different camps.

since when did they stop using ATT? the signing of Denis Kang was very recent, WEC champion Mike Brown, and UFC WW contender Thiago Alves. There is no way that Zuffa would stop doing business with them. AKA is on the black list, but not ATT.

Lashley had been training with ATT for quite some time. No surprise at that becoming offical.
It was American Kickboxing Academy, not American Top Team, that had the one day only falling out with Zuffa. That would require actually reading entire the press release before commenting.

And even as far as AKA goes it was only in relation to one part of the organization coming out of California

Bobby Lashley so drama, he just Brock Lesnar's wannabe. He so weak and Brock would end his career if he try step in ring or say his name

Name recognition = money
He'll be in the UFC. Give it time.

This HAHAHAHA guy is an idiot, someone should tell him that it's American Kickboxing Academy that UFC is blacklisting, not ATT.

With Lashley in now with a legit training team, there's no doubt in my mind that UFC will sign him in due time. Think about it, UFC has been in the market for offering huge fights with big name opponents regardless of the rankings(Lesnar). If the UFC could put together a Lesnar vs. Lashley fight on PPV, this could be one of the biggest PPV card ever. I bet Dana could already see the mean green associated with this fight.

Dana has said he's never heard of Bobby Lashley.
