Former WWE heavyweight champion, Dave Batista has tonight revealed that any hopes of seeing him climb into a mixed martial arts cage in the near future are dead in the water, adding the deal with Strikeforce is kaput.
The muscle bound monster revealed the news earlier today to TMZ.com telling them he’s “real disappointed” with the way things turned out before adding “I really had my heart set on Strikeforce”.
