WWE superstar Batista, who is parting ways with the wrestling promotion for the time being, is training for a possible career in Mixed Martial Arts.

WWE Hall of Fame announcer Jim Ross commented in his blog at JRsBarBQ.com about the news that Batista would be following in Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley’s footsteps. He wrote:

“I’ve heard some rumblings that when Batista gets healthy that he might try his hand in the MMA world. This rumor is FAR from official but I do know that Batista has been doing some MMA training and has a bona fide interest in the genre,â€￾ Ross said.

He added, “This would be a huge challenge for Batista if he indeed attempts to compete in MMA at a high level which, again, is not a done deal.â€￾

I could see it happening, only problem is... is that I unlike most other people, actually like Batista as a wrestler.

I read about this a while ago but don't know how true it is....sounds a bit Blue for a guy who suffers from a lot of injuries to get into MMA...

It's not just that. But someone his age trying to get into MMA. Going from pro wrestler to MMA wrestler ain't easy.

Drug testing.

Mother approved.


What's with all these wrestlers thinking they can do MMA all of a sudden.

First fight: Batista vs Rampage.

They touch gloves, Rampage punches Batista.
Batista: "WTF? You actually punched me!!"

Rampage takes Tista down.
Batista: "Owe! I tucked my head but that shit still hurt...what wait are you doing with my ar....AAHHHH!!!"

LMAO!!!! That's great.

I forgot about the drug testing though. Tista wont make it to his 1st match.
