The card takes place on March 25 at Memoiral Hall in Kansas City, Kan.In his last fight, Lashley suffered the first MMA defeat of his career.

Lashley began his MMA career with five-straight victories. He holds wins over UFC veterans Jason Guida and Wes Sims and also finished Bob Sapp in the first round.
Before entering the professional wrestling world, Lashley competed extensively in the real version of the sport.
