Former multi-time WWE champion Bobby Lashley is ‘very interested’ in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).That’s according to BKFC founder Dave Feldman, who has teased a potential mega-fight between Lashley and old WWE rival Gzim Selmani following the latter’s victory in Scotland last weekend.Former WWE star Selmani scored his second BKFC win in Glasgow on Saturday night and has previously called out Lashley for a fightBKFCSelmani, known to millions of WWE fans as Rezar and one half of former tag team champions The Authors of Pain, made his second promotional appearance at BKFC 96 in front of a raucous Glasgow crowd on Saturday.‘The Albanian Psycho’ dominated Englishman Reece Heer to claim a comfortable unanimous decision, much to the delight of BKFC co-founder Conor McGregor, who witnessed several nasty KOs on the night.Ahead of BKFC 96, Feldman had praised Selmani for calling out guys like Lashley ‘that make sense for him’ to get fans to take him seriously as a genuine heavyweight contender on the roster.Asked to expand on Lashley potentially joining the promotion, Feldman made it clear a fight against Selmani essentially hinged on his man’s performance at BKFC 96.A convincing victory has now made, in the words of Feldman, Selmani vs Lashley something fans could definitely’ see in the future.Lashley ‘very interested’ in BKFC“That’s a serious fight, and that’s something that we could definitely see right down the road because Bobby Lashley is very interested in BKFC and Gzim is obviously in BKFC,” Feldman said.“You have not just a former WWE heavyweight champion, Bobby Lashley, you have a former Bellator fighter, a former kickboxer. So you have someone that’s been there and done that.”Feldman said conversations with Lashley about a bare-knuckle fight would pick up if Selmani got the job done at BKFC 96, which he did.He added: “We’ve had conversations in the past about him [Lashley], and then he shot me a message a few months back.“He’s a good friend. He’s been at a couple of our events in the past, and he really likes what we’re doing here. And I think he wants to test himself.View Tweet: https://x.com/hashtag/BKFC96?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwFeldman said Lashley, who signed with AEW upon the expiration of his WWE contract, is keen to fight bare-knuckle, and he is very interested in making the Selmani fightGetty“I think it [Lashley fighting Selmani] makes sense because on the ability level, you’re matching two guys’ abilities, right? And you’re also matching their salesmanship and their popularity.“For me to throw Gzim in with [former BKFC heavyweight champion] Ben Rothwell right now or someone like that just wouldn’t be fair to him.“It wouldn’t make a lot of sense yet, but I think him calling out Bobby Lashley, who is a former fighter and obviously a very popular WWE fighter, makes a ton of sense.”Why Lashley vs Selmani makes senseFormer Bellator fighter Lashley, who has a 15-2 professional MMA record, has previously expressed his interest in fighting bare-knuckle.In 2020, the 50-year-old revealed conversations with Feldman and BKFC.Although nothing materialised, there is clearly still interest from both parties in making it happen, especially with the career trajectory Selmani finds himself on.Lashley has experience in the ring and the cage, just like SelmaniGettySelmani is on a path to stardom under the BKFC bannerBKFCA fight against Lashley would give Selmani the perfect chance to grow his name in the organisation, while offering the former one more lucrative payday.And there is genuine history between both men.Before his final televised WWE match against LA Knight in April 2024, Lashley made his final WrestleMania appearance a week prior.He teamed with The Street Profits to take on and defeat the newly formed group The Final Testament, which included Selmani as Rezar.Furthermore, Selmani, like Lashley, has experience in the cage, having built up a 4-2 MMA record since 2012, while also representing Bellator.Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.
