He weathers the storm and beats Hector.
I was thinking the same.
If he can stay away from power punches and takedowns for a round or two and score leg kicks and jabs or something, he has a chance to take this fight once Lombard gasses.
He was the only person at WW willing to fight Lombard (until this fight was signed, then suddenly a bunch of guys realized they'd be willing. Lol).
Agreed that he is a solid fighter but there is no way he can hang with "anyone". Guy has been losing in the minors...he is going to get crucified when matched against the UFC elite.
Lombard is severely overrated
Bet you said the same thing about Boetsch. You can argue the decision, but people weren't predicting "Lombard by 29-28 Decision" they were predicting Boetsch getting steamrolled in the first minute.
Lombard is a front runner, even if he beats Burkman easily, I think he gets worked by Rory, Hendricks, Lawler and even Brown.

I've noticed since Tito left, a lot of fighters are less willing to call out available fighters who aren't already signed up to fight. I remember when he was in the UFC he was always getting called out. Michael Bisping is another guy who used to get called out all the time, but that trend seems to have stopped.
The best call out ever was when Jacob Volkmann called out Obama.

He is going to be beaten severely. i haven't seen this much of a mismatch since Yoshida vs Rumble. Burkman is fucked. For real.
Unless there is something significant that I'm not aware of.
