· Shamrock Out; Guida In at March Badness
Ken Shamrock, who recently failed his post-fight drug test performed by the California State Athletic Comission, has forced a change to the MMA and Boxing hybrid card "March Badness". According to Versus Jason Guida (17-19) will step in to replace the suspended Ken Shamrock.
Jason Guida, the brother of UFC lightweight star Clay Guida, is best known for his short stint on the UFC's The Ultimate Fighter reality series. Jason failed to make weight for a preliminary bout and was subsequently kicked off the show. Jason Guida is just 3-7 in his last 10 bouts with notable losses to Terry Martin, Marvin Eastman, and Thales Leites.
Meanwhile, Bobby Lashley, a former WWE Superstar from 2005-2008, is coming off his impressive Mixed Martial Arts debut win with a first round TKO victory over Joshua Franklin. Lashley has been training at the famed American Top Team camp in Florida since his foray into MMA.
As for Shamrock, he has been indefinitely suspended until he can have a hearing with the CSAC about his failed test for several performance enhancing drugs.
Other confirmed fights for the hybrid card include Jeff "The Snowman" Monson (27-8) vs. former IFL Champion Roy "Big Country" Nelson (13-3), and Roy Jones Jr. (52-5) taking on Omar Sheika (27-8). No other fights have been confirmed at this time.
