Yeah Hector making a big impact on the local scene. I believe his fight with Cris Brown was called a no contest though.

Think he fighting Xtreme Muay Thai rules on XFC card soon.

why was it no contest?

i cant beleive how big the guy is...and he is only MW...relly freaky

It was a no contest becuse of a accidental headbutt when Lombard attacked. I was at the event but form the angle i was i could not possibly what happened but what iv heard is that on the DVD, one angle it clearly shows the two accidentally colliding heads, which knocked out Brown. From anotehr angle though it looked like a punch connected. Was a strange occurence and the video was studied by arguable Australia's best MMA ref.

Lombard look slike a freak. He looks like a heavyweight in the middlweight division. He is so calm before his fights as well. Walks around talking to all the fans just minutes before he is supposed to fight.

A former Cuban Olympic member as well. Will be interesting to see how he goes in MMA. So far so good.

I dont know if any of you guys from brisbane are interested in doing some stuff. But I train at the Submission Arts wrestling school at South Bank. If anybody is keen we train twice a week 2 hours a session. It is very cool and very tough on the old body. We get new people come but hardly stay, I think they find it too much to do. If you are keen message me or reply, would love some new members to come along and knock me around.
