"We’ve received the final proposed UFC agreement from Hector’s attorney, and right now we are in the process of reviewing it to determine whether we’re going to match the agreement,”

“Obviously, we have a huge event coming up Friday. As soon as that is over, we will sit down with our partners and go through the UFC contract line-for-line and make a strategic decision whether we’re going to match it or pass. [If we pass, we will] wish him the best and let him go knock out everybody in the UFC.”

Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney comments on the UFC attempting to sign Hector Lombard during an interview with Sherdog.

Lombard is currently on a twenty fight winning streak & (8-0) in Bellator. He has 17 wins by KO or TKO and seven by way of submission. Another interesting fact about Lombard is that he has never been knocked out or submitted.

Another interesting fact is that he won't survive 3 fights in the UFC. I'm pretty sure I could beat the shit out of 4th graders, which is what ol' Hector has been doing his last 20 fights.

Bjorn Rebney Confirms Hector Lombard is UFC-Bound

Apr 24, 2012 - World-ranked middleweight Hector Lombard will leave his longtime home at Bellator and sign with the UFC.

Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney confirmed the move to MMA Fighting on Tuesday afternoon.

Bellator had a right to match the UFC's offer, but Rebney cited differences between the two organizational models as the obstacle that could not be overcome when it came to matching the UFC's deal.

Who do you think would be a good opponent for Hector in his 1st fight?

I think someone like Shields would be a great 1st opponent to test Hector's ground game.

As much shit as I've given him, I do enjoy watching him fight. He is awesome... in Belletor. I don't think he can beat any of those 5, tbh.

I guess the UFC wants to see if Hector's stand up is legit, he will face Brian Stann at UFC on Fox 4:
