Three Former WWE Superstars Announce Upcoming MMA Fights

While the wrestling world is focused on the match announcements for WrestleMania XXV, three former WWE wrestlers that have all been involved in "WrestleMania moments" recently announced their upcoming MMA battles.

Lesnar vs. Mir II
Brock Lesnar will get his chance at redemption against Frank Mir on May 23 at UFC 98 taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Lesnar will be defending his UFC Heavyweight Championship in a unification match against the Interim Champion. A little over a year ago, Lesnar was forced to submit to Mir in his only MMA loss.

Ken Shamrock vs. Bobby Lashley
This MMA battle sees a former Intercontinental Champion battling a former ECW Champion inside of an MMA ring. The two are scheduled to fight each other on March 21 at March Badness, a boxing/MMA event being promoted by Roy Jones Jr. Ken Shamrock is 27-13-2 in MMA while Lashley is 1-0 in MMA. The match will be taking pace at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida, and will be available on PPV.
