Bobby Lashley won his Bellator debut earlier this month when he defeated Josh Burns by submission and he is targeted to return to the Bellator cage next month to face Karl Etherington at Bellator 130.
Lashley confirmed the date of his next fight in a video interview done by The Sports Courier and sources confirmed to TheMMAReport.com that Lashley is targeted to face Etherington.
The fight booking has not been made official by Bellator and it’s unknown if this will be the main event of the fight card.
Lashley (11-2) is currently on a four fight winning streak and three of those wins have come by submission. Two of his last three wins have come via a rear-naked choke and six of his career victories have come by submission. Etherington (9-0) made his Bellator debut last year as he defeated Jason Fish by TKO in the first round. He took a fight outside of Bellator following that victory and he defeated Harry Duiven Jr. by disqualification.
Bellator 130 will come from the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas and tickets for the fight card are currently on sale.
