On Friday, May 30, 2008 at 6:40 PM EST MMAJunkie.com has an article up at this link regarding former WWE star Bobby Lashley signing with the Kentucky-based American Fight League MMA promotion. Lashley is expected to be announced as a new signee at tonight's "Bulletproof" event at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta. His deal with the MMA promotion is expected to be non-exclusive.
