According to an online report, former World Wrestling Entertainment star Bobby Lashley will fight former NFL lineman Bob Sapp on June 27 at an unnamed MMA event in Biloxi, Mississippi.

MMAjunkie.com reported Tuesday that Lashley announced the super-heavyweight fight in a Monday Twitter posting.

After an appearance on TNA's Lockdown PPV this past weekend, it seemed as if Lashley's dream of making it to a bigger show (Strikeforce/UFC) was dead. However, this news as well as the rumours that he did not sign a deal with the pro wrestling group, keeps Lashey's aspirations alive for a little longer.
