Palhares also got dropped by Miller and went on to dominate the fight. Some people just tend to exaggerate certain characteristics. Palhares went down because that tends to happen when you are hit hard.I also felt that he gave up but not at the end when he got finished. I think he just lost all confidence when he felt Lombards power. It is crazy to watch Palhares vs Hendo, he took some serious shots and was ok.
I still don't understand why Palhares just held Lombard down when the fight hit the ground. World class grappler but he was just waiting for the ref to stand them up.
I hate to say this, but maybe it's time for Palhares to stick to grappling competitions.
Lombard an Olmypic medalist for Judo, is short so has a low center of gravity so more than likely has amazing tdd and has the best stand up in MW other than Anderson Silva, I think he is going to do very very good at MW, possible champ if Silva leaves.
Edit: also I haven't seen all his fights, but has Lombard ever been rocked badly? He seems like he has a good chin too.

i would like to see a three way in heterosexual fighting between vitor, cung, and lombard. sooo bada$$. then a fan dressed up as bisping jumps in with a mouth all covered in food and slips on the mat with his face and the three just maul his a$$ super hard with big strong ones.
Hector held on to Palhares and he couldn't really move. Maybe he could of tried harder idk.
he sat down after the second big one
Haven't watched the fight yet but from the gif, that KO looks... off.
