Hector Lombard's goals for 2010 include offending top middleweights and grabbing a few throats

"I'm pissed off right now about that. It's frustrating for me that everybody who knows me, everybody who knows what I'm about, they know I'm for real. Everybody who's been training with me knows I'm for real. I don't see my name out there and that's why I've been calling out all the big fighters. I want to fight the best. I want to stand out. I'm not getting the respect I'm supposed to have. If I have to offend everybody, if I have to grab somebody by the throat, then I gotta do it."
The grotesquely underrated Hector Lombard (22-2-1) blows his stack via MMA Fighting over the lack of respect he's getting from the mixed martial arts community. In addition to cleaning out his division in Australia's Cage Fighting Championships (CFC), "Hektor" spent most of 2009 making a mockery of the Bellator FC middleweight division, capturing the 185-pound championship after three straight (T)KO wins for the upstart promotion. The Cuban-born Australian is expected to defend that title later this year, but is there anyone outside of Strikeforce and the UFC that can stop him?

u want a top fighter? sign with a top organization!
Hector is one bad mofo…Im still pissed his visa issues caused him to never debut in the UFC. He would be a great addition to sF’-s growing MW division.
I want to see him and my boy Jacre go at it!
I know who is for sure
but have only seen one fight. With that kind of record he might be MMA’s Rodney Dangerfield.
Who was he supposed to debut against in the UFC? John you remember?
Congrats to everyone who picked Robbie over MM. He took an a$$ whoopin but played a "risky" game plan like a fiddle. H O L Y S H 1 T that was an insane finish - Melvin was completly waxed. 2/3 on the night. Crap.
Did Lobardi have visa problems or did Karo panic before the fight?
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
I saw him fight on a muay Thai card about 2 years ago in Sydney, he went 3 rounds with a local guy who had literally been pulled out of the crowd, I shit you not. The ring announcer came on and said this guy had had a fight last week and when Lombards scheduled opponent couldn’t make it this local dude took the fight on 1 hours notice. Maybe Lombard needs to hook up with a good manager so his talent doesn’t go to waste. Another thong I noticed from seeing him live was his trex arms, silva would have a field day with him, bisping could jab and run on him like he loves to so much, if and when he joins ufc I see a couple of wins over lower 185 talent then when a loss to a decent striker with td defence prompting a drop to 170 where he would match up well with most of the top guys, as long as AJ isn’t still cuuting down.

Ohhh and on that same card BigBangin Ben Edwards did a few nasty things to Kings Cup standout Ramizan Ramizanof worth looking that one up on YouTube if you get a chance, the card finished up with Nathan Corbett braking his German opponents arm with one kick! Badass

heres the video of hector in an X-RULES fight in 2008 against the last minute replacement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doXJPCNigtE check out that cut from the right! Also the ref for that match runs the fight gym i train at.
Hector also had a fight with Kalib Starnes in Sydney about 2 months ago but i didnt go, he won easily in the first by gnp.

I'd like to see him fight Hendo more than anybody
would be a great fight. would be a slugfest. Maybe a rematch with Gegard would be cool as well. TBH I don’t know how he’d fit into the UFC. But win or lose, a fight with somebody like Hendo would be a good indicator.
"OH GOD THAT'S DISGUSTING! HE BROKE HIS FREAKIN' ARM"
"hey man that's the business, we're not figure skating"
In the name of the Fedor, the Anderson and the GSP. Amen.

he lost to Gono and Mouassi...def no bum...he'd be a HUGE signing to any org...John was right, he'd be here already if it weren't for his visa issues
Fedor once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit.
On July 19th, 1999, a naked Fedor re-entered the earth's atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publically claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.
Heactor is a gun
Good to see us Ausies can claim him, what other home grown heros do we have well tow of my favourites are sakio bika and Koysta Tszyu! Great job Team!
