EXCLUSIVE: Batista Says He’s Been Offered a 2 Fight MMA Deal

June 17, 2010

According to a source I spoke with who is close to Batista, the now former WWE superstar has been telling friends that he has been offered a two fight MMA deal with StrikeForce. This has not, however, been confirmed or announced by StrikeForce.

As we reported earlier today, Batista attended the StrikeForce event last night, and word coming out of the show is that Batista is currently NOT entertaining the idea of fighting, but rather he wants to concentrate on his acting career.

I was also told that Batista has many contacts in the modeling world, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Batista use potential modeling gigs as a way of getting his foot in the acting door.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
