The decision was a joke. Any attempt to justify it is a worse joke.
Yeap, it seems like Lawler vs. Hendricks 3 is happening in Montreal.
Both Lawler/Hendricks fights ended in controversy. I thought Lawler won the first fight and lost the second and I was rooting for Robbie.
I always thought it was hilarious that Brown publicly questioned Wonderboy's kickboxing record saying he fought nobodies way back, then years later Lombard called Brown out and he's been beating unranked opponents and Brown wouldn't respond. If Lombard wins I hope Brown would accept the fight.
They're wasting Lombard's time. He could have had Brown as his fight already instead of having to beat Burkman up first. He isn't getting any younger. He's even taking a step back now fighting Burkman after Shields.
The UFC wanted to make Lombard vs. Brown for November (the Australia Card) and then for today (January 3), but Brown's manager declined the fight both times. Woodley did the same for November. Lombard said he simply wanted to fight, and the UFC had to get Burkman, since Lombard and Brown declined him, and other UFC top ten WW's were booked or injured.
I'd like to see this, but as a main event. This is the type of fight that should be a 5 rounder because Matt Brown doesn't slow down and Hector is a quick starter. The 4th and 5th round would be very interesting. I'd ultimately favor Hector because of his strength and grappling ability, but Brown has looked awesome as of late. This would be a solid Fox Sports 1 main event.
Where is this Lombard hype coming from? He beats two guys at the tail end of their careers, and now he's the second coming. Do people not remember how easily he was shutdown by Okami and Boetsch?
Shutdown by Boetsch? Jake Shields at the tail end of his career?? Keep sipping that Haterade.
