CALGARY – The heavily hyped UFC debut of former Bellator middleweight
champ Hector Lombard was an utter failure, and UFC
president Dana White thinks it may be time for the former Olympic
judoka to consider a new weightclass.
After Lombard turned in a lackluster effort against Tim Boetsch at
Saturday night’s UFC 149 event, the UFC boss
said the stocky middleweight should at least consider dropping to 170
pounds.
“Lombard maybe should fight at 170 pounds,” White said. “He made 185 easily. He’s short and wide, but I think he could make 170.”
