Former WWE "superstar" and wannabe mixed martial artist Bobby Lashley is back again, this time taking on former UFC heavyweight punching bag Eddie Sanchez.
The two will meet in the main event of the upcoming Titan FC 19 fight card set to go down July 29, 2011, at the Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas.
HDNet officials just recently announced the bout even though the event is just less than three weeks away.
Lashley is back for the first time since his March win over John Ott, in which he was taken the distance and nearly finished by a glorified middleweight.
Bobby is still young in his career at just seven fights but that's a steep curve. And while Sanchez may not be a wrecking machine, he's absolutely a big jump up in competition.
Sanchez will make his debut with Titan FC having lost his last two fights (Neil Grove, Mike Whitehead) with Bellator and Pure Fighting Championships, respectively.
"The Manic Hispanic" has done well for himself when he hasn't been in against better competition and I think we can all agree, it would be a stretch to call Lashley anything close to that.
The wonderful world of regional MMA.
Titan FC 19 will go down July 29 in Kansas City and feature Lashley vs. Sanchez in the main event. Also booked for the card are match-ups pitting Rob Kimmons vs. Bubba McDaniel and James Krause vs. Alonzo Martinez.

I see Eddie Sanchez at Hennesey's in Carlsbad when watching UFC fights all the time. in the UFC, he got fed to a lion in Crocop, but he is a great fighter.
I got to go with the MMA veteran over WWE star anyday!
