Bobby Lashely vs. UFC vet Wes Sims (finally) set for “Strikeforce: Miami”

A rumored bout between heavyweights Wes Sims (22-12-1 MMA, 0-0 SF) and Bobby Lashley (4-0 MMA, 0-0 SF) finally has materialized for next week’s “Strikeforce: Miami” card, sources close to the event today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com.

Sims has been tapped as a final replacement to face the part-time pro wrestler after two opponents fell by the wayside.

Lashley, who on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com he was still training hard for an unnamed opponent, has a little more than a week to prepare for the 6-foot-10 Sims.
