Batista is going to MMA (Strikeforce)

He's a former six-time WWE heavyweight wrestling champion of the world -- but this weekend Batista finally confirmed that he's now fighting for real ... for an MMA company called Strikeforce.



The 6'5", 290 pound behemoth was out in Hollywood this weekend -- where he told our camera guy about the move ... and hinted that he already has his first fight lined up.

In MMA, Batista will...

* Dominate
* Get destroyed


The 40-something-year-old recently left WWE after his contract expired ... and there had been rumors floating around that he wanted to get into Mixed Martial Arts fighting.

Wow

He's over 40? I thought he was one of the WWE's top "young guns" a couple years ago?

He started wrestling late in life, unlike Bret, Dynamite Kid, Benoit, etc, who were teenagers
when they started.
This will be a disaster. Batiosta will get killed in MMA.

He's 40 years old, the dude can barely wrestle these days let alone fight.

He'll get destroyed.

Yes nothing is official yet!

no way this guy is 40 year old lmao! I know him fron the game on the wii lmao

I don't like the idea of a 40-year old guy getting into MMA. Call me crazy.

Batista will get killed until he learns jujitsu but I cant wait to see him get on top of someone and pound their face.

I'd love to see him fight personally.

I would love to see him fight. i honestly thought he was younger than 40.
He was one of my favorite wrestlers. Look at him. He does not look 40.

He showed no sings of any solid grapple/ground game with WWE

That's key in MMA/UFC

He'll be no different than Kimbo Slice
