agreed. most others are booked. If they dont book lombard vs brown they could do dong vs lombard or brown also
Agreed, no way Brown should get a title fight without facing anyone in the top 10 first. Lombard via TKO
I don't hate Brown but I'm more of a fan of Lombard and he needs a fight and this would be a great fight however long it lasts.
If he takes it to the ground, he seem to be in love with his striking as of late. And I always forget that Brown is bad at the ground for some reason I always think he is a bjj guy who likes to strike, still think it would be a good fight.
Taking a stroll in the zoo every now and then is never a bad idea. Doubt it would make it out of the first.
If Brown does survive the first, his odds will start getting better and better, though. They're opposites in that way. Lombard tends to slow down, while Brown keeps going and going.
Brown is suspended. Lombard vs Kim Brown vs Burger/Lawler winner for next shot. Lombard/Kim winner vs Woodley/Rory winner for the shot after that. This is the clear path of the WW division if there are no injuries.
Brown would never survive if he got hurt by Lombard.....Lombard is a finisher even if he thinks you are hurt. Any other fighter in the top 10 would have murdered Brown when they saw how hurt he was to the body.....poor showing by Silva does not mean a great showing by Brown.
9 of his 11 losses are by submission. That doesn't count the TUF fight where he was submitted. I think he's improved a lot in that area, though. And outside of Maia, there aren't many UFC WWs who actively go for subs.
