Last Saturday night, former WWE superstar Bobby Lashley was victorious in his second professional mixed martial arts fight, defeating Jason Guida by unanimous decision at the "March Badness" MMA & boxing pay-per-view event. Lashley was a guest on the Pro MMA Radio show last night and told the host, Larry Pepe, that his ultimate goal is to be a player in the UFC."I've had dialogue with (the UFC) over the past few days. They know where my mind frame is. I hold the UFC in high regard and I believe the UFC is a place where you have to be at a certain level before you get there. I want to be a serious contender for a title before I go in there. When I get to the UFC, I want people to say 'Bobby is good enough to go for the title'. I would like to be holding a 5-0 or 6-0 record, somewhere around there before going into the UFC. If I can take what I do in practice and put that into a match — then you'll see a whole different Bobby than what you saw the other day," he said.

Bobby Lashley recently spoke to The MMA Digest. Here are some highlights from interview:On Ken Shamrock being ousted as his opponent:"I was a little disappointed in the fact that I didn't get to fight him...we train specifically for our opponent. I was going through two pretty tough practices everyday and we were staying afterwards, after the final practice in the evening and going for an hour and a half to two hours on just what Shamrock was going to do -- some of his tricks, some of his key moves and everything like that."Thoughts on his new opponent Jason Guida:"I think he's a decent opponent, I think he's a decent fighter. It's my second fight; he has one advantage -- he has had so many fights under his belt...so we're not going to take him lightly at all, he's a vet, he knows a lot of tricks, he has been in there before, he's going to be comfortable, he's going to be ready to bang and really he has nothing to lose. So we're just going to go in there really aggressive, we're going to stay on him, and we're going to force the issue and see if he can take it."
