Lombard criticizes Toquinho’s “excuses” after UFC Australia setback

The declaration of Rousimar Toquinho that the fracture in the foot at the beginning of the fight against Hector Lombard, which happened on the 15th, hindered him inside the octagon and was not well accepted by the Cuban. The former Bellator champion, who knocked out the Brazilian at UFC Australia, spared no criticism of the Brazilian.

“Before the fight, he said that his preparation had been the best possible, that he was in the best shape of his life and that there was no way he could lose the fight. Now he’s making excuses”, said Lombard, who continued analyzing the Brazilian’s statements.

“He's been saying that he fought with a broken foot and he wanted to say that he broke his foot during the fight, but that doesn't count. If he went with a broken foot, that's okay, it gets in the way. But Toquinho was healthy. It's like getting knocked out in a fight and it doesn't count towards your record. He went into the fight well and was kicking me until he got hurt, it happens”, concluded Hector.
