FightScoops.com was on site at American Top Team Ft. Lauderdale to attend the media workout session for Strikeforce: Miami and we were able to secure an interview with heavyweight fighter and wrestling superstar Bobby Lashley (4-0-0) to get his thoughts on the upcoming bout with Wes Sims (22-12-1) this Saturday January 30th. During the 9-minute interview, Lashley spoke about:

- Training for a fight without knowing the opponent until days before the event

- His sparring partners and training regimen in preparation for his fight with Wes Sims this Saturday.

- How MMA will influence pro wrestling and how crossover stars such as himself will help it evolve in a different direction and conversely, how pro wrestling will influence MMA by incorporating some of the show business and promotional aspects that have kept wrestling so popular.

- Which MMA fighters he can see getting into pro wrestling after their fight careers are over.

- Whether he thinks the popularity he gained during his time in pro wrestling has opened doors for him in MMA.

- When he could see himself fighting Fedor Emelianenko.

- Shane McMahon’s love for MMA and the idea of him working with Strikeforce or UFC

Check out the full interview video below, and there will be much more to come as we get closer to fight night:
