Bobby Lashley has a new opponent for next month's Shark Fights 21 event. Originally scheduled opponent Darrill Schoonover has been forced out of the event with an injury, and Lashley will now take on multi-time UFC heavyweight Tim Hague.
Hague entered the UFC in 2009 with a 9-1 record, but after a surprising submission win over Pat Barry after getting knocked down, Hague lost his next three fights. That stretch included his seven second knockout loss to Todd Duffee, officially the fastest knockout in UFC history. He won his next two fights outside of the organization and was brought back, only to get stopped by Matt Mitrione this January.
Lashley looks to pick up his seventh career win since moving to MMA from professional wrestling back in 2008. This will be the Shark Fights debut for both fighters, and they will be fighting for a Title belt in the organization.
