**Rory MacDonald vs. Hector Lombard verbally agreed for UFC 186**

It will be a 3 rounder. I doubt Rory stops him within 15 minutes. I think Lombard will actually want to pace himself instead of going for broke in the first....and end up doing nothing but fold like Woodley did, but I dont see a stoppage win. I hope you are right though!

It'll be the main event over in Montreal no doubt. So 5 it is.

When does the dreaded Lawler vs Hendricks 3 take place? Should have it on the same card in case of injury they can do a plug and play.

 

[spikemma]

Rory is going to going to look back at his career and say he fought and beat the upper percentage of caliber opponents of all time and that's why I have no problem if he keeps getting held from the title shot.

That being said, watch him win and Jordan mein beats alves, I'm calling a rematch right now. HA

I was thinking there's a slim chance of it being the Main Event. I know they rarely have a PPV with a non-title Main Event, but in this case I could see it happening. Especially being in Montreal and only GSP probably topping Rory in popularity there.

 

[Tankeray]

Going for Hector but unfortunately I think Rory takes it via UD.

 

[I Hate You]

DAYUMN!!! DOUBLE DAYUMN!!! Love this damn fight! Thank you, UFC!

 

[lockon]

hope this fight happens. esp if hendricks vs lawler 3 is finalized

Poll is acting weird. I tried to vote, it said I already voted. At least it had me voting for Rory, who I would've voted for.

 

[Ozze]

Don't really like this fight, because it kills one clear title contender. The loser will go back two or three fights and who knows what can happen.

Poll was just attached.

Nowadays, PPV are always headlined by title fights, UFC 183 being an exception. Im pretty sure Rory vs Lombard will co head, they are trying to make Lombard vs Hendricks 3 for this card, and use the co main as a contigency plan in case of injury.

When was the last PPV planned from the beginning with a non title bout as a headliner?

 

[Arkridge]

I mean, I guess. But I'd like them both to have separate roads to the title.

 

[Char Jawz]

Gunnar will take it. And that wont be pretty. Lol

I really don't want to see Gunnar get thrashed by Brown...as much as I enjoy watching a good Brown thrashing.

 

[deviake]

I really hope this is true.

Rory via focus, frustration, and precision.

It should be awesome.

 

[dog y]

wow, 13-4 Rory so far on the poll.
Come on people, Lombard has HUGE muscles... and... anyway, Lombard won't be jabbed for 3 rounds. He will take the fight to Rory and kick his ass. Hopefully we get to see some nice judo throws too.


edit: 17-4, holy...

 

[Char Jawz]

Story vs Brown could be a great fight, I would like to see that.

My ribs would be hurting just watching all the body shots unfurl between the 2.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

If Hector looks like anything he did in anything, Rory would win.

 

[CarloSpcyWeiner]

Bullshit. Rory should be fighting for the title, Lombard should be fighting Hendricks.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

Gunnar will take it. And that wont be pretty. Lol

For who? Almost all of Brown's losses are by sub.
