Brock Lesnar Dismisses “Wannabe” Batista’s Possible MMA Future

Dave Batista’s former WWE colleagues are not coming forward with vast support for his potential mixed martial arts career.

Earlier Tuesday, Booker T mocked the possibility in an interview with TMZ. Former WWE Superstar and current UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar joined the mix in the afternoon, dismissing Batista as a “wannabe.”

“Get in line, everybody and their dog wants to get into fighting,” said Lesnar in a pre-UFC 116 interview with MMAFighting. “Next question. We’re talking about a heavyweight championship fight, not some wannabe.”

Lesnar defends his championship against interim UFC Heavyweight Champ Shane Carwin in a title unification bout next month.
