Author Topic: Batista to fight Rashid Evans (Read 6847 times)

It's been A LONG time in the making ... but former WWE heavyweight champion Batista has FINALLY booked his first real deal MMA fight ... TMZ has learned.

Batista has been training to get in the ring for years ... and got REALLY close to fighting in the Strikeforce league back in 2010 -- but the deal fell apart.

But now it's on for real -- the 43-year-old powerhouse signed with the CES MMA league -- and is all set up to fight on October 6 at the Duncan Doughnuts Theater in Providence, Rhode Island.

We're told Batista -- 6'6" and 290 lbs -- will square up against some dude named Rashid Evans ... not to be confused with UFC hurt-maker Rashad Evans.

Sources connected to the deal tell us ... the fight WILL be televised ... but it's unclear which provider will broadcast the fight.

Too damn old it's to bad he didn't give it a shot when he was younger. He's prob had a million surgeries on his knees and other injuries.

Does he still have that gay-ass belly button tattoo?

I assume there will be no drug testing

Jim Cornette, a smart guy who knows his shit, said that Batista is just a big ole baby. I bet he gets sparked pretty quick in this match unless the guy he's fighting is a complete pud.

Maybe he should fight Mariusz instead.

Baby inside or outside of the ring?
I know plenty of guys that are super friendly and nice that would tear people apart.

Cornette basically says he's frail little pussy who is always getting hurt. Just sounds like the typical big steroid guy who leaves a trail of piss from the locker room to the ring.

He starts in on him around the :45 mark.

Jim looks like he could do damage on the Olympia stage.

Yes he would surely come in "ripped to the bone" condition with his 10 Pepsi a day and Wendy's triple stack cheeseburger diet.

Cornette sounds like a narcisstic twat who actually has crossed over into the world of make believe, he talks as if fake wrestling is real and something to be taken seriously. Dude wouldn't last five seconds with a man the size of Batista

Cornette would drop you with one punch.

What! In a fixed wrestling match - HA HA - I cant believe the following that FAKE wrestling attracts - Cornette wouldn't last five seconds in a real fight! The ones who talk tough are very rarely tough at all! That fat fuck is an embarrassment!

And Booker T beat his ass after Batista threw the first punch.
