Hector Lombard is the betting underdog?

[INoHespectChael]

Lombard is +110 and Magny is -110.

Does everyone think Lombard is going to look like a lightweight off the juice or something?

Magny's biggest wins are 2 split decisions over Erick Silva and Kelvin Gastelum in which he didn't look that great.

Inconsistency

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

That's statistically a coin flip. They probably gave Magny the slight edge because Magny has ungodly reach compared to Lombard.

Dat long layoff bruh! Last fight was what Jan 2015 if I recall correctly?

 

[Dick]

Magny looks better and better each fight ( Excluding Maia, no shame in that).

Lombard just got popped and hasn't fought in a year and 2 months. His last supplemented "win" over Burkman wasn't necessarily impressive either.

Meanwhile , during Lombards suspension, Magny has fought 5 times going 4-1.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

It's an intriguing one with Lombard coming back. I think Magny tho

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I agree Lombard should be the favorite and I think he will win. The only thing Magny has over Lombard is range and cardio. Lombard is a better striker than him, he's better in the clinch than him and he's better on the ground.

WAR Magny! You dont bet against Neil!

 

[sonhow]

How the heck is Magny supposed to do the outpower - slam - mount - gnp routine against Lombard? Thats basically his game and when standing he gets hurt in most of his fights it seems. I dont except Lombard to suck on his comeback fight either.

WAR Magny! You dont bet against Neil!

Unless he's fighting Demian Maia.

He's ranked 9th right now and I don't think he can beat anyone in the top 8. Nothing spectacular about his striking or grappling.

He had a big size and strength advantage against Gastelum but I don't expect to see him throwing roidweather around.

1 Rory MacDonald
2 Stephen Thompson
3 Tyron Woodley
4 Carlos Condit
5 Johny Hendricks
6 Demian Maia
7 Matt Brown
8 Dong Hyun Kim

I agree, everyone ranked above him is more skilled. Magny is tough and has strong cardio but he doesn't seem to be great anywhere.

All I know is, you have a great avatar.

 

[Tony_Clifton]

I expect Lombard to look much different than he's looked in the past. Wish Magny was a dog.

 

[Darth_Inv1ctu5]

+110 is for the 95% chance of him pissing hot, again

Doesn't matter if he fails the drug test for 10 different PEDs.

You still get your money if he wins the fight.

 

[7437]

He was an inconsistent explosive fighter with bad cardio. Now he is coming off a year layoff and a steroid bust. Not hard to see why people are hesitant to bet on him.

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

Magny is very underrated. He uses his reach well and if Lombard had trouble hitting Burkman and Boetch, he's not gonna have an easy time with Magny.

Magny also has a cardio edge. But he does get rocked in several of his fights, so if Lombard can catch him he can hurt him for sure.

I would like to see Lombard take on the top of the division so I hope he wins this fight, won't be easy though.

 

[ookii]

Hector is going to come in looking like a Ooompa Loombard

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Magny upsets him using reach and jabs to win a decision.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I'd think betting on Lombard would be a good idea.
