Former WWE superstar Bobby Lashley's December mixed martial arts debut was in jeopardy because the company he is signed to -- the American Fight League (AFL) -- announced it is ceasing operations until the first quarter of 2009.But, a local radio ads running in Miami, Florida are now advertising that Lashley will compete in his first official MMA bout on December 13th at an event promoted by Mixed Fight Alliance called "There Will Be Blood". The show will take place at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. No opponent has been announced yet.
Lashley signed a two-fight deal with an option for a third earlier this year, but like most of the other fighters under contract with the fledgling AFL promotion, he still has the freedom to fight in other organizations so long as it doesn't interfere with any AFL obligations.
