“Only Anderson Silva can beat Hector Lombard,” said Bellator CEO

The Cuban Hector Lombard He is the current Bellator middleweight champion. The native of Fidel Castro, who is trained by Brazilians at American Top Team, has not encountered opponents in his fights and is already thinking about new challenges. However, for Bjorn Rebney, Bellator's SEO, there is only one fighter who can defeat his athlete: the Brazilian Anderson Silva.

In an interview with the North American website Sherdog, Rebney said that Lombard has dominated the division in Bellator and only the “Spider” could stop his incredible streak of 24 fights without losing, with 23 wins and one draw.

“We have an incredibly dominant champion (Lombard). It’s not easy to maintain this reign,” said the Bellator manager. “I think he’s one of the two best middleweights in the world. Hector is absolutely a monster”, added Rebney, who made a point of imagining a possible fight against Anderson Silva.

“There's only one guy on Earth that you look at and say, 'He could beat Hector. His name is Anderson Silva'. I don’t know if Hector would beat Anderson, but it would be a great fight,” he concluded.
