Lex’s reminder: Don’t forget to check out the blog tonight for UFC 92 discussion.

Bobby Lashley says he wants to go to the UFC, but it looks like he’s got a long road ahead of him.

During a recent live chat on AOL Sports’ MMA Blog, a reader asked UFC President Dana White if Lashley would be coming to the UFC. White’s first response, apparently, was “who?” (more…)

Bobby Lashley will make his long-awaited MMA debut on December 13, according to MMA Mania.

He’ll be fighting for the Mixed Fight Alliance promotion at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida. No opponent has been announced, but I’d imagine it will be someone Lashley should handle pretty easily.

Lashley is signed to a contract with the American Fight League, but that promotion has put off it’s first show until early 2009.

The MFA show sounds like the type of the smaller MMA show that might end up on HD Net Fights, so if you’ve got that channel on your HD package, stay tuned.

Welcome to the NEW MMA Shoot

Written by Lex on Sunday, August 17th, 2008 in The Shoot.

As you can see, I’ve re-designed the blog to keep it in line with the rest of the PWB Network.

I’m also changing the focus of this blog to weigh more heavily on MMA opinion and interviews, so expect a lot of exclusive stuff on here that will be released before some of the podcast interviews come out. There are so many blogs out there providing MMA “news,” I thought I’d make the focus of this one more unique.

In addition, there will be a new “MMA Shoot” podcast preimeiring in the coming weeks. It will be availble on the current podcast site, as I’m going to be making some more changes to the way I do the podcasts from here on out.

In today’s edition of the shoot, I’ve got all the MMA news fit to print, including tons of fallout from the UFC 86 PPV, news on Cro Cop and EliteXC’s July 26 mega-card.

There’s so much going on in the world of MMA it’s hard to fit it all into one blog. That’s why I’m starting a new feature here on MMA Shoot: every few days I’ll post a summary of the latest and greatest news from the MMA world. Of course, I’m calling the new feature “The Shoot.” Without further adieu, let’s get to the first edition.

MMARated.com is reporting that Rich Franklin will move up to 205 to face Matt Hamill at UFC 88. This adds to an already packed card, including Chuck Liddell v. Rashad Evans, Dan Henderson v. Rousimar Palhares, Karo Parisyan v. Yoshiyuki Yoshida, and James Lee v. Tim Boetsch.

MMA Junkie has also confirmed the bout.
