Hector Lombard?

Hasn't lost since 06' to Mousasi in Pride

31-2, 17 KOs, 7 Subs

Never been KOd or subbed in 35 fights.

Why is there not alot of noise about this guy? Ive been following him a long time and I am surprised he hasnt been more sought after by the UFC, maybe he has, but you hear alot about other fighters who people wanna see in the UFC and more often than not, his name is left out. Hes won 24 outta his last 25 fights with the one being a draw. I dont see anyone in Bellator beating him.

He's a beast for sure. Great striking, Judo, BJJ Black Belt. He's got the skills and is an exciting fighter no doubt. I have him in my Top 10 but he will never crack my Top 5 until he beats some top level competition. The only really big name he's fought is Moose Saucy and he lost (to be fair that was a few years ago and he's beat Ebersole since. Even though he has a crazy win streak I doubt he will ever be considered one of the best.

I have no idea why the UFC isn't trying to grab him. He's Cuban so that would help draw the Hispanic fans to MMA. Maybe it's because he's pretty quiet? Either way, I think he could beat most of the 185ers in the UFC. I'd love to see him there, it would set up some great matches.

Yeh no doubt, the 2 biggest names on his sheet are his 2 loses. I also think hed be a handful for the middleweights in the UFC, I wanna see it.

Is he kinda roidy? I don't know, just a guess.

His last 15 fights were against Trevor Prangley, Jesse Taylor, Falaniko Vitale, Joe Doerksen, Alexander Shlemenko, Herbert Goodman, Jay Silva, Art Santore, Joey Gorczynski, Kalib Starnes, Jared Hess, James Damien Stelly, Virgil Lozano, Ron Verdadero, and Brian Ebersole.

That's why you don't hear more about him. He's chomping on cans.

Ebersole would be a good win, but he's a WW. Other than that and his two losses, the only guys on his resume are has-beens and never-weres.

Yea but in all fairness there are plenty of guys in the UFC with far less impressive records...

i yam not imprezzed.

war roid judo lol

Riddle me this. Who would you all pick in a fight between Lombard and Bisping?

Besides Gecko, no one here would put money on Bisping. Lombard might not be able to handle someone like Silva or Vitor, but he could give any other middleweight an absolute fit.

I would take Bisping. But only because he's fought tougher competition, and I think that weighs a lot.

Bisping!!!!!!!!!

I would pick Bisping…

Lombard is a brawler with a lot of KO power but he is by no means a techniocal striker. Alexander Shlemenko was the last decent technical striker Lombard fought and he struggled to really land big shots. I think Bisping would have no problem staying on the outside and peppering Lombard from afar for 3 rounds and taking home a UD. I think Lombard is a UFC level talent but he would be middle of the pack at best.

definitely, the first thing that i niticed, was how short his arms were. him and bisping would be like machida vs jones.

LOL!
BKN, I think you may have misjudged the consensus on this one!
