Official Statement from Xtreme Fighting Championships (XFC) on the Bobby Lashley Rumor of fight against Marcus Jones

From XFC president John Prisco:

"It’s come to our attention that a rumor has started circulating that Bobby Lashley will be fighting Marcus Jones at XFC 8: ‘Regional Conflict’ on Saturday, April 25 – a show featuring the fastest-rising young prospects and top emerging superstars from Tennessee, Florida, Kentucky and North Carolina in contender-versus-contender bouts, airing exclusively nationwide on HDNet. That rumor is false, and no such statement was ever issued by the XFC, Bobby Lashley, or Bobby Lashley’s manager."

"It is true that the XFC and Bobby Lashley have had numerous conversations, and both parties hope to find a way to work together in the very near future. Bobby has publicly stated his interest in fighting for the XFC, and we can confirm that the interest is mutual. We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship.

"The XFC hopes Bobby Lashley – and MMA fans nationwide – enjoy XFC 8 ‘Regional Conflict’ on April 25, as it airs live from the 21 thousand-capacity Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee, exclusively on HDNet. For more information, please visit www.mmaxfc.com."

XFC 8: "Regional Conflict" takes place on April 25 at Knoxville ’s Thompson-Boling Arena. Tickets are now available at the Thompson-Boling Arena box office and Tickets Unlimited outlets, including Cat's Music, Disc Exchange, and Fye Music.

i can’t see lashley in the ufc anytime soon, he looked very beatable in the guida fight, although alot of people are saying he’s going to be a big thing i think it’s going to be a while, i dont think he can really be compared to lesnar because almost no one can improve at the pase lesnar has. i see him fighting in smaller shows for about the next year and a half, if he goes unbeaten i think the ufc will sign him although i can see him ending up with strikeforce this year

wow bobby’s surely making the rounds as of late. i agree, i say he’ll end up in strikeforce at the end of the year. he does have a long road ahead of him though, before he’ll make it into the UFC. They’ve already got their ex-pro/collegiate wrestler to build. Brock’s a bit overrated, but I think Bobby will always be in his shadow
