Can you stfu with your "I cant believe how dumb you all are" attitude? Seriously, every event you feel the need to tell people they were retards for thinking Fighter A ever had a chance to beat Fighter B. It's mma, anything can happen, get a grip and grow up.

This post likely wouldn't annoy everyone if you actually put yourself out and made a prediction on fights instead of showing up afterward to say I told you so.

Pretty sure I spoke on this when the fight was announced.

I specifically remember debating some guy who thought Lombard would get subbed because of leg locks are illegal in judo.


As far as every other fight, I've called it exactly as it went before it happened.

See the Pearson-Soti thread and the Nate-Bendo fight.


The Nate-Bendo fight I predicted the fight from the finest details to the end result.

The amount of pride in this post is too hilarious for words.

Basically this, although this fight doesn't bother me too much after the Boetsch disaster. Give him a more well rounded guy now and work his way up the ladder. Still get a big laugh at that guy who said Hector would "end Anderson's legacy within a round." :laugh:

He was fighting a guy with zero stand up who didn't even try to go to his strength. Lets slow down with the he's back talk. I still don't see a guy with anything but a face for Anderson to smash easily.

His fight's only a month away, lol.

But I doubt they give him Lombard after Vitor starches him.

Lombard layed a nasty beat down on Palhares but honestly those punches were big and looping and I could see Bisping throwing right down the middle and consistently beating him to the punch. If Bisping could avoid getting caught I think he could fairly easily beat him.

Yea a Bisping fight makes little sense. If he beats Vitor he should probably be right in line to get a shot. If he loses, probably by big KO, I doubt they give him Lombard off a big win. They can do that fight down the line.

Lombard vs. Belcher would be sweet, if Belcher gets past Okami.

He seemed pretty content to sit in Paul Harris's guard until he was stood up though. I don't think he really wanted to get into a BJJ match with Paul Harris.

And I would like seeing Lombard vs. Stann rather than Wandy, I just don't think I could bear another vicious KO of Wandy without him hanging them up, and I think against a beast of a puncher like Stann that it would only be a matter of time.

There's the Lombard we've been looking for. I'm now certain that it was nerves that got the better of him. A fight against Vitor would be very entertaining. He should fight against Stann instead of Wand vs Stann.

Awesome. Hector had no respect for Palhares' leg kicks, which were hard, chased him down and knocked him out.

I don't call Lombard a Silva-killer, but IMO he is a handful for everyone in the division. Something WAS wrong in the Tim fight, supposedly more than one thing, and for me his happier demeanor before this fight proves that.

I hope Hector gets another fight signed quickly.

The only thing wrong with him in the Boetsch fight is that he stepped into a cage with a barbarian on some high level ****ery.

Tim Boetsch always wins....even when he loses, Anderson would KO him and probably end up getting DQ'ed.

I am very happy the way this fight went down. I was quite let down as many were during his first fight in the UFC and am happy he was able to play his game; albeit against someone he very well should beat 9/10 times.

There are a bunch of matchups I'd like to see Lombard in. Belfort would be lots of fun, as would Wanderlei or even Cung Le. Haha, I just want him in there against brawlers.
I think Bisping could dominate him with technique and precision, but also feel that Hector could plod forward and catch him.

Either way, enjoyable fight tonight and I wish Hector continued success.

I'm kind of sad Lombard messed up and performed like he did in his debut. I always love a good build up and this loss took a lot away from me, just like the Diaz-Condit fight did.

So who's next for him? Should Bisping get past Vitor, he get's the shot.
