"I will jump in,"

I think that the UFC should try to do something like this more often.

If A or B gets injured C will step in, kind of thing.
Fights are constantly falling apart. They should have a healthy alternative on the side beforehand.

That won't work, Lombard isn't Brazilian. A Brazilian needs to be in every fight in brazil.

That's a very good point. There's no way it would work.

 

[PoisonGodMachin]

I think his main point was that he wants to fight Bisping, not that he wants to be the replacement for a non-injured Belfort, moron reporter.

 

[JoseAldoKillaBe]

You guys are right.
I'm brazilian and wouldn't mind watching Lombard vs Bisping instead of Belfort vs Bisping.
But i can't talk for the nation, and don't believe they'll feature a main event without a brazilian here.

"Sir, that's not a number."

He's really desperate for Bisping to 30-27 him, isn't he?

I think his main point was that he wants to fight Bisping, not that he wants to be the replacement for a non-injured Belfort, moron reporter.

and he wrote this too, lol

" Lombard's win over Palhares reversed a lackluster decision loss to Tim Boetsch at UFC 149."

so if you beat a guy, the athletic commission will turn your previous loss into a win apparently

 

[PivotPunch]

Bisping or Belfort would be very very tough fights for Lombard but I like his attitude Lombard vs bisping or vs Belfort would be great

 

[lallinho]

Someone wanting to fight Bisping is not news anymore, is it? Bisping will 1-2 his face to burger meat like he does everyone

 

[0vary hugger**]

Woohoo,I would love to see Lombard-Bisping.

I hope the Count has been paying his insurance.

 

[0vary hugger**]

Hmm,Lombard can catch Bisping but can he finish him?

they say lightning doesn't strike twice,lol.

 

[Oleg Salenko]

lol bisping doesn't stand a chance

"middleweight fight"
"main event"
"Brazil"
"title contender"
"save the card"
I think we all know that Dana will summon Anderson if everything of the above will happen at once.

vitor is injured again??

That really isn`t true. If you send any big name to fight here, the crowd will enjoy. I have no idea why Dana does not try to match two foreigners more often. Just bring someone the crowd will recognize.

I remember in the first UFC Rio the first fight was between Jabouin and Loveland. The crowd just picked a side and started rooting for Jabouin, but the fight wasn`t very good.

Just don`t send any blankets, please.

I did not think about it before, but it makes sense. Lombard calls out Bisping right after his fight and now says he`s available for replacement. Maybe there`s some rumor of injury and he`s capitalizing.

If it happens I can't wait for the fake fans to watch GSP "blanket" Anderson for 25min in Brazil.

 

[salboski]

Willing to take short notice fights will get him in Dana's good graces.

Belfort/Lombard who cares! They will both stop Bisping.
