If you look closely, you see both Kimbo and Sapp-o doing cameo work in this direct-to-home video release.

Although he still has not been tested, I'm thinking Affliction or Strikeforce is going to sign Lashley, for possibly an event in the fall. Just a guess. And how about all those boos for Lashley? Either the fans in Biloxi simply don't like Lashley, were upset at Sapp for tapping, or aren't too familiar with the ground game.

from sherdog.com:
Bobby Lashley fought with brains and brawn, and Bob Sapp could not keep up in the featured bout at Fight Force International "Ultimate Chaos."

The unbeaten Lashley took down Sapp in the opening seconds and grinded away with ground-and-pound until the larger-than-life Pride Fighting Championships and K-1 veteran tapped out to strikes 3:17 into round one on Saturday at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss.

Lashley (4-0), who promised to fight Sapp standing in the pre-fight buildup, instead took the more intelligent route to victory.

"Going out there against somebody like Bob, you've got to be prepared," Lashley said. "I just wanted to get him down. I had to go out there take him down, cover him up, keep him flat and pound on him. That was our gameplan. You've got to wear the big man down. We've got other matches where we can test our stand-up."

from sherdog.com:

Here's Lashley's fight from last weekend at MFC. It's a very short fight that's got a lot of people crying "work." I don't know if that's because of Lashley's background as a WWE "Superstar" or because of Cook's lack of defense over a fairly simple hold, a front facelock, and his leg-flopping as the hold was being applied. You decide.

All I can say is we're going to have to wait several more months - at the least - for Lashley to get tested. His next fight is against Bob Sapp, and I don't see Sapp giving Lashley too many problems. Although Sapp outweighs Lashley, Lashley's got at least equal strength and seems to have a killer instinct that Sapp lacks.

"Ultimate Chaos" takes place June 27 in Biloxi, Miss. and is oc-promoted by Fight Force International and Prize Fight MMA.

Cut-outs of your favorite freaks ... I mean hulks. Seriously, this tournament is a little weird. Sapp and Nortje are definite freaks, and Jose with his roided body and 0-0 record is like a train wreck - you can't not watch. But Soko and Hunt have talent, with Mousasi having the most and I would think is favored to win ... That's crazy - I just noticed Minowa was the only real guy they could get to be there. .

from nightmare of battle:
Four new fights for DREAM.9 have been announced. An open-weight tournament called "Super Hulk Tournament ~World Superman Championship~" will commence at the event with Minowaman taking on Bob Sapp, Sokoudjou facing K-1 & MMA veteran Jan "The Giant" Nortje, Gegard Mousasi taking on Mark Hunt, and Choi Hong Man fighting former Baseball player Jose Canseco.

Thanks to MMA Fanhouse:
Former WWE heavyweight champion Bobby Lashley will face MMA veteran Bob Sapp on June 27 at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss.

FanHouse has learned that MMA rookie officially signed his bout agreement late last night.

Lashley (2-0) recently defeated Jason Guida at the "March Badness" pay-per-view event in Pensacola, Fla. He will now face one of the biggest stars in Japanese MMA history. Sapp (10-3-1) last defeated Akihito Tanaka at the K-1 Dynamite!! New Year's Eve show in December. It was a bizarre sight to see as Tanaka was dressed as the Japanese anime character "Kinniku Mantaro" during the fight.
