Hendo responds to Hector Lombard

Henderson's side of the story differs quite a bit. He says during the time when Lombard was at the gym, he wasn't training as much and they rarely worked together. But the future UFC middleweight gained a bad reputation amongst the other fighters.

"He was there for about three months. I traveled a lot and I was in and out of practices. I had no problem with him while he was there,"

"Some of the other guys would kind of step up and put him in his place. He never did anything like that while I was there so personally, he was fine but none of my guys like him at all."

According to Henderson, Lombard would routinely go after less skilled fighters or smaller fighters while he was training and that didn't sit very well with some of the other veterans in the room.

Henderson says he doesn't mind that fighters put everything into a training session or a hard sparring match, but Lombard would do that against teammates who weren't on his same level.

"I don't have a problem with that, it's when it's only against the guys that are that are a lot smaller or less skilled than you to feed into your ego," Henderson said. "He never did any of that with me, he never did it with anybody that was bigger or stronger than him."

Hendo via H bomb

Basically Hendo is confirming that Lombard is a coward and a bully. Funny how Hendo constantly fought at 205 and at heavyweight throughout his career but "Showeather" won't even fight at 205 once. Lombard isn't even worthy to hold Hendos jock strap.

 

[StopDucking]

Josh Barnett did the right thing.

i cant support someone like hendo

 

[Coconut Joe]

"Pops" Hendo, with the veteran response to a self important Lombard....C'Mon Hendo, one more H-Bomb for old times sake.

 

[KONE]

lmao Lombard confirmed terrified of Captain America Hendo

Hendo KO round 1

 

[Dirge]

Hendo was very diplomatic in stating that Lombard is a douche... I'm impressed

 

[Co-Co Zola]

This is like the 27th person to claim Lombard is a prick in training (beating on people, who you assume must be lesser fighters and smaller, like Hendo is claiming).

Seems to be pretty much fact now, too much smoke for their not to be a fire.

 

[WallyBear]

Enough with the daily soap stories, I hope they bash their heads in for my entertainment. If not, I'll be pissed.

 

[Yokimoto]

Hendo. Round 2 H-bomb.

 

[DustyWarrior]

Lombard takes this. Hendo has only one weapon and he's too slow for Lombard.

 

[randompunch]

I feel like this fight is going to go like Boetsch vs Dan. I wanted to like Lombard to much but the guys just seems like a douchey disappointment.

 

[jonathan274]

Sparred with people like that. It's lame. Go Hendo!

idk if I ever told you but you have excellent taste in fighters

 

[Concrete Whale]

Lombard is shook lol.

If Hendo H bombs him it will be hysterical.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I dont know who of those 2 I like less... but Lombard is going to kill Henderson and put him into retirement.

 

[Deleted member 220895]

At least there's hype now. Instead of the UFC selling this fight as for sure fireworks, now they can call it a rivalry. More interesting IMO

 

[ithinktheymad]

Only big and bad when Barnett, Manhoef, Magny, Hendo etc are not around.

I think Hendo is retiring after this fight no matter what.
