Batista still in talks with Strikeforce for MMA debut

Former WWE star Batista (Dave Bautista) has not signed with Strikeforce yet, but remains in negotiations and things are said to be going well. He has reportedly asked to make his official MMA debut in either March or April 2011 as he is currently filming a movie and wants to resume training with the Cesar Gracie camp once that is done. Scott Coker, the founder and CEO of Strikeforce, remains interested in having Dave make his MMA debut against former WWE star turned MMA fighter Bobby Lashley.
