In a recent interview with Heavy.com Bobby Lashley alluded to a break with TNA to focus full time on mixed martial arts:
"I had a talk with [TNA] a while back about doing both [MMA and wrestling]. Everything seemed to be working well," Lashley recently told Heavy. "I think maybe there were some complications there towards the end. I got back home and got all these calls from people saying that I had been released from wrestling. So as far as I know, I've been released, so yes, I can focus full time on MMA."
Jeremy Botter later confirmed the news with TNA.
Lashley (5-0) is currently signed with Strikeforce and is expected to fight on the upcoming April CBS card.
Bobby recently defeated Wes Sims at Strikeforce: Miami.

He should have focused soley on MMA a long time ago.
Now if he does good in stirkeforce maybe the UFC might make him an offer. I think the hangup with the ufc was him wrestling part time not sure.
He was getting paid a lot of money by TNA
and he didn’t travel very much, I think I read he shot at a central location for like 3-5 days a month.
