You might not have known this, but Bobby Lashley is fighting this weekend. He fought earlier this month, too, though you could be forgiven for not knowing that, either. That’s because, especially for a guy who started off with all the buzz that comes from the pro wrestling-to-MMA transition, the heat of the spotlight has cooled considerably for Lashley in MMA.

What’s more, he’s small-timing it on purpose.
