MMAScoops.com reports that UFC president Dana White recently stated that he had no interest in signing Bobby Lashley. He’ll change his tone (he ALWAYS does) once Lashley gets a few fights/wins under his belt. Almost everyone expects Lashley to be in UFC at some point if he continues to dominate in upcoming fights. They’d obviously have a mega-fight between him and Lesnar once things pan out.

The UFC 93 PPV event is this Saturday. It’ll be taped from Dublin, Ireland so spoilers will be out before the show. Who wants to read spoilers for a fight anyways?!?! I know I’ll be avoiding them all day Saturday!
