I havent really followed it but there has to be a reason why it has happened ages ago

I think I hear humble shouting in joy/victory all the way from OZ.
He should watch it. I think shouts of joy bring drop bears, venomous spiders and snakes, poison jelly fish, those blue ring octopus things, and sharks.
Hope he makes it through ok.
Regards,
Robert A

There's tons of talk about Brian Stann being "fed" to him first. Interesting...but just talk right now.

Possibly and possibly not. The guy is naturally nuggety. I've sparred him for quite a while. Many claimed it but I dunno if I would discount his natural genetics. I have a mate who looks more insane than he does and the cunt has only just learned to drink protein shakes. He walks around at 8 % body fat year round eating whatever he likes whenever he likes. He was a gymnast half his life though. Hectors been involved in soccer, judo, bjj and boxing from a very young age.
Anyway, here's something of interest. I knew he's go straight for the jugular. That's the only way he knows how to be.
Good on him I say.

He'll be fighting Stann in his debut. Wonder where a win would put him, Bisping - Boetsch being the other fight that could lead to titleshot.

Walks around at 200-205lbs at 5'9?
That's more than genetics.

he walks around at 85 kg mostly so a bit far off 200.
Back to genetics.
Dana twittered him vs stann. It's fucking on! I hope he minces Stan. I'm over the war veteran shit.
Seems all you need these days is a badge and camo's and you're a war veteran.
Not bagging Stann himself, I like the guy and he's very respectable but I'm over the hype that goes with it.

Oh I'd love him to rape Bisping. Bisping's attitude wouldn't last 3 seconds in press meets and the ring with HEctor

Yeah they're just handing out silver star nowadays, and what's with him trying to help wounded soldiers, what a dick. (Humble go fuck yourself)

Yeah I think Stann is a massive marketing machine for the UFC (in the U.S.) in that sense, but I agree that it gets tiresome.
And yeah I think this fight will be a big step up (for Stann) from his last opponent.
Stann does all he knows (go for the finish with strikes) and Lombard beats him at his own game

That seems a little contradictory. If you like the guy...and that guy is respectable...I don't see the reason to downplay his legit war vet status...topped with Silver Star Medal. Dude doesn't have to fight for a living....yet he does. Not his fault..that in itself makes for crazy marketing hype.

Really? 187? Surely he's heavier than that, especially between fights. He looks closer to 200 in the ring. Could be muscle bellies and bodyfat doing it, but those tree trunk legs look heavy too.
Not that I think that means he's definitely using. Nor that he isn't. He's fought both at welter and light heavy in his career, and his judo weight was 160. People can speculate all they want, I just wanna see him fight some proper competition. As long as he doesn't get busted, none of this stuff matters anyway.
Him and Stann should make the ground shake, at least. Doubt it leaves the 1st. Crippling KO guaranteed.

He's fighting at 185 and is 5"9. No way he's 187. Similar guys like Palhares cut a fair amount of weight.
Anyway, the guy requested a random drug test for his fight with Stann, so if anything we know he's likely clean in training. Good damage control, what with all the roiding/TRT controversy going around. Hector has his ears on the streets.

lmao. I varied between 220-235 when I used to spar him. No friggen way he's 200. He's fairly light to pick up.
As you said, speculate as much as you want, doesn't mean shit on the internet.

what's with the gear haters???
If I didn't know any better I'd say some of you have been raped by some gear head?
Ever fought one? They got 30 seconds of madness in them and then it's a free ride for you.
Much love to gear heads
You guys are not really considering the insane amount of ATP-CP Lombard exerts. He doesn't pull punches and trust me, he has heaps in the gas tank. NOt a common trait of gear heads.
You're mistaking his non stop forward push and full power exertions thus draining him slightly as being a sign of his weak gas tank. It's pretty retarded if you haven't seen him train and you watched him fight the russian and base your analysis on that. Don't forget, he did dominate that fight even though it was a 5 rounder. He wasn't and never pulls his punches and pussyfoots around like much of what I have seen with athletes in the cage. He only has two speeds. Off and full speed, that's it.
Don't underestimate his tank or his power. Trust me, I've fought and sparred with a quite a few gear heads and they don't go at it like he does. The shit slows you down.

Props go to humble for keeping it real.
I have no idea if 'Hektor' is on the needle or not, nor do I care.
ALthough built like a model athlete, he certainly isn't overeemish. Honestly, people who compare those two have no idea.
Low bodyfat + muscle != steroids.
I like Lombard. Again, no idea if the stories about him being a bully are true.
As a fighter he's got aggressiveness, powerful technique, determination.
Quite a package!
In contrast to Brian Stann, he's also got true knockout power. The superwarhero (unbelievable how people fall for that crap), although without doubt a strong fighter who can punch very hard, has to go forward to deliver. He must consciously strike hard.
Hector Lombard on the other hand, may put you to sleep with a short reaction punch.
The question is, of course, if Stann can avoid that by establishing a good deal of distance and driving forward on his terms. And how strong his clinch is against Lombard.
It's a good, quality matchup and I look forward to it.

Don't see why 'gear' (very ambiguous, there's lots of drugs out there) would make you gas sooner. Again, I'm not going to say Lombard is or isn't using, but the fact that he can keep a high power output for several rounds doesn't exclude it at all. It's not a stimulant.

Agree with allll this, except the part questioning Stann's power. He may have to 'consciously strike hard', and perhaps lacks the absurd natural power of a Lombard or a Carwin, but he KOd Chris Leben, something that only one other man has accomplished (Anderson Silva). That alone should tell you that he packs enough power to put anybody to sleep. I don't know if Hector has faced anybody with his power before, and more importantly, whether anybody with that power has touched him. On the other hand, I KNOW Stann has never had to deal with the kind of power Lombard possesses.
Like you say, quality matchup.

Seems like good matchups are often the ones where you wonder "if X can do y when Z does @".
I'd like to know: do guys with a great chin lose it at some point?
It wouldn't be out of the ordinary if Leben, from now on, drops occasionally.
