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.

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.

If he does sign they will have him fight the worst of the worst... See Fedor's resume since signing with strikeforce, it's a joke.

they dont have a great HW division.....alstair is fighting fedor soon, and fedors next fight is werdum who isnt a push over. i mean, who do they have who he could fight that wouldnt be considered a "joke" ?

Thats why he signed with them... He beat Brett Rodgers but Rodgers got the title shot? Rodgers got dominated against Overeem, Fedor had a few scary moments. Werdum recent resume is wins Bigfoot Silva (easy fight), and Mike f**king Kyle lol. He beat Brandon Vera after he started declining in 2008 and Gabriel Gonzaga who is possibly the #20 HW in the world. Werdum's only big win in his career is Overeem and that was 5-6 years ago I think.

      Darin Gantt: Inside the Panthers draft room

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I know people get mad when I point this out but there are usually only 1-2 maybe 3 solid players each draft. Everyone likes to hype up in the offseason and think all 7 will be Pro Bowlers but realistically in my opinion: Freeling- Solid Starter for a while probably makes it to 2nd contract. Hunter- Turns out to be best player of the group. Turns into a Kawaan Short type DL. Brazzell- Serviceable, some flashes but doesn’t make it to a 2nd contract. Too slow in the short game, takes a while to build up speed, runs awkward on routes. Lee- I just don’t see it on tape. Maybe a taller version of Troy Pride.  Hecht- I think he will be around for a little while. Reminds me of Mays, where he was shaky at first but eventually became dependable. Wheatley- Really like him. Think this will be a guy that sticks around a while as a borderline starter/solid back up. He’s already probably better than Nick Scott. Kuwatch- Probably a depth/practice squad guy a few years and fizzles out.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      And I believe the 1st matchup was Shough’s 2nd career start.   Remember Bryce’s 2nd start?    If you don’t, no sweat, he will probably replicate it a couple more times this year.

      For a topic that started as a lighthearted, off-season "hey, bryce should keep the beard" banter, this thread sure took a turn
