Bobby Lashley picked up his first win in Bellator MMA earlier this month, submitting Josh Burns at Bellator 123 in Connecticut.
The TNA Champ now says he's got his next fight set in the organization, as he told Fred Richani at The Sports Courier that he'll be fighting Karl Etherington on Oct. 24 at Bellator 130 on Spike TV.
The 38-year-old Lashley has won four fights in a row in the last 15 months, bringing him to 11-2 overall as a pro fighter. If the fight goes ahead, Etherington will enter trying to pick up his tenth win in ten career fights. The English heavyweight stopped the first eight opponents of his career, including a win over Jason Fish in Bellator in January of 2013. In his last fight, he was awarded a DQ victory after taking a punch to the back of the head.
Bellator 130 will air live on Spike TV from the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas, headlined by a Heavyweight Title bout between Vitaly Minakov and Alexander Volkov.
