Brock Lashberg was a good Lashley nick name I heard. I never really thought of him as a Batista, Batista is more charasmatic and can work the mic a little bit, he can entertain. Lashley was just muscle.
Anyway I actually think Lashley would be really,really good in MMA. He's completely jacked, has a good background in collegiate wrestling, very athletic, I could definitely see that working for him. I think that a Lashley-Lesnar match would be awesome. I don't buy or watch MMA PPV's, but if that was on the card, I'd definitely watch it.
