Former WWE superstar Bobby Lashley made quick work of Mike Cook at Maximum Fighting Championship 21: Hard Knocks Friday in Alberta, Canada. Lashley dismantled the Californian fighter in just 24 seconds.Cook came to the ring wearing a pro wrestling lucha libre mask while taunting Lashley with popular WWE poses. Lashley was annoyed, denying Cook of a glove touch seconds before the start of the fight. As soon as the bell rang, Lashley charged at Cook and applied a guillotine choke. Lashley held on to the guillotine choke and took Cook to the ground, forcing Cook to go limp. Referee "Big" John McCarthy called the fight off just 24 seconds into Round 1.
His opponent, Mike Cook, didn't have any major wins on his record. Cook also lost to former WWE Tough Enough contender Daniel Puder by a rear naked choke.
In the post fight interview, Lashley stated, "Now he can put back on the mask and have fun with himself."
The former WWE US Champion and ECW Champion improved his MMA record to 3-0, but it's apparent that his pro wrestling background will stick with him for quite some time.
Lashley doesn't have much time to rest, as his next challenge is just around the corner in MMA veteran Bob Sapp on June 27 at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi.
