Tony Khan says he would allow Bobby Lashley to fight in MMA if he wanted to.
At AEW Full Gear 2024, Bobby Lashley would make his PPV debut for All Elite Wrestling, facing off with Swerve Strickland. After a spear through the barricade, Lashley picked up the win over Strickland at the PPV. Lashley is no stranger to PPV in not only wrestling, as he has previously fought in mixed martial arts.
When asked by The Wrestling Observer at the post AEW Full Gear press conference if Bobby would be allowed to return to MMA while in AEW, Khan responded that Lashley could fight anyone on the planet.
Tony: If ever wants to do any fight, this guy can fight anybody on the planet. He would knock them out.
Lashley: Deal. Done.
While discussing why he signed with AEW in a seperate interview, Lashley noted that having the opportunity to also do combat sports was a factor. You can read more about that here.
