Guy just got his first W in the UFC over a mid-tier 185er and everyones already saying he deserves a title shot in the next 2 or so fights
vintage sherdog lol.

He could very easily be 2-0. Boetsch and Pallhares are solid wins if he would have gotten them both.

And Thales Leites would be the MW champ if he'd beaten Anderson Silva.
Way to make a shit-tastic comparison that makes no sense. A large number of people think that Lombard won that fight despite what the judges or the record indicates.
Only thing people think Leites beat Silva at was falling down.
God forbid a fighter has fans who believes in him. Can a fighter have fans now a days with out them being considered just hype.
Don't overreact, sweetums, mostly a joke.
Just pointing out that "should", "if he had", "could've", etc., are all pretty worthless. IF Hector had gotten the judges' nod over Boetsch, he'd be 2-0, with a decent win over a top-20 leg lock savant and a completely dreadful win over a solid fighter in a fight that nobody on the face of the earth will ever willingly watch again. Okay, that's a decent start to a UFC career. Does nothing to make me think he'd beat Silva, but whatever, one man's crumbs are another man's feast. The main problem with that scenario is the word "if".
Lombard: 1-1 in the UFC
oneboredcoleman literally said exactly what I was going to say to youHe could very easily be 2-0. Boetsch and Pallhares are solid wins if he would have gotten them both.
was literally going to say this. yes, he "could" be 2-0 but then that would be a pretty shitty 1st win, barely being able to beat someone like boetschI disagree. Even IF he is 2-0 (which I do believe he should be), his fight against Boetsch was very underwhelming, it was a terrible performance from back to front.
Also, Palhares isn't known for being a good standup fighter either.
I'm not saying Lombard is bad but these hype threads need to stop, he's definitely in the mix but he needs a couple more fights before we could even consider him a contender.
he beat rich franklin (unless you're really going to be a sandy vagina and give me shit about TEN POUNDS. It's still two guys who typically fight at mw fighting) and he beat akiyama, and rumble. all about mid-tier at the timebeating a mid tier UFC 185er is impressive. vitor hasnt beaten one and hes already gotten 2 title shots

You need to show some hespecta for "Lights Out" . My favorite defensive style boxer of akll time. Him and Pernell WHitaker. (Even though your av makes me chuckle)
I gave Lombard shit over his last fight. Calling him Hector "The Statue" Lombard....mostly in response to all the hype he was getting from the fanboys wanting desperately for him to come and dominate so their opinions would be validated....I have a feeling they will feel vindicated, and there will be a lot of "I told you so" threads on Sherdog tomorrow.
I don't know about how he'd do with Sonnen for instance if he was still at 185...someone who pressures constantly and dosen't back up.....I don't know about Munboz or Bisping either. I think Bisping will avoid the big punches and outstrike him via superior footwork.
