Update on Batista's First MMA Fight

[Travicity]

It is expected that former WWE star Dave Bautista will make his MMA debut for Strikeforce in the second quarter of 2011.

On today's MMA hour talk show with Ariel Helwani, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said that "there's still dialogue" with Bautista, but they expect him to fight for the company between April and June in 2011.

Bautista, 41, reportedly wants a three-fight deal with Strikeforce and is continually training for his first MMA fight.

I don't think Bautista understands that having a contract doesn't mean you are guaranteed that many fights. He seems to think he can drop a couple and they cant fire him as long as he has a contract.
