Lombard, who stood out in 'bare-knuckle boxing', arrives at his seventh fight without knowing what it's like to go out with his arms raised in MMA. Now, there are 46 fights, with 34 victories, ten setbacks, one draw and three no contests.
The fight
Lombard managed to connect, in the opening seconds, a blow to unbalance Silva. On top, the Cuban used his strength to reach half-guard and land good punches. Thiago made the save and saw Hector continue in a dominant position near the fence. At the last minute, the two athletes started fighting openly until the end of the round.
Willing to reduce his size disadvantage, Hector adopted an even more aggressive stance and frequently entered Thiago's range of action. The Brazilian, however, counterattacked with a direct strike, but got excited and landed an illegal knee. With a nose bleed, the Cuban stated that he was unable to continue the fight.
