The man we saw holding pads for Brock Lesnar last night, MMA legend Erik Paulson, tells FightHubTV the reason that Bellator middleweight champ Hector Lombard called out Strikeforce heavyweight Josh Barnett after his last win (transcribed by Fight Opinion):
ERIK PAULSON: "OK, well... Hector and Josh sparred really hard since day one here. Hector likes to throw hard, everyone knows that. He likes to spar hard, he likes to throw hard so one day him and Josh in a five-minute round turned a five-minute round of boxing into a 32-minute round of boxing and they just kept hitting each other harder and harder and basically what I did is I just sat and followed them with a mop. I mopped up all the blood because they were both bleeding. That was them, uh, full of piss and vinegar and whatever and they want to do that, it's fight practice, they're both adults, they can do that. So, uh... Hector likes to train hard, that's just his m.o. and Josh grabbed him one day and brought him in the cage when I wasn't here and I walked in and he had Hector down and he said, hey you like to go hard and Josh wouldn't let him up because Hector, they, whatever. They just have a go, so, uh... Hector never forgave him for that and so it's been bothering him and he told Josh that the reason he left here was because of that."

Josh had mini hulk down
This must’ve been a while ago? Hard to picture anyone pinning down mini hulk other than Brock.
32-minute round of boxing and they just kept hitting each other harder and harder
So Joshy can’t even drop a WW even with a half hour of throwing bombs….
This really doesn’t surprise me.
Hard to blame Barnett for that one
Lombard is well known as a bit of a red-ass in training.
Sounds like Josh gave him some of his own medicine and Hector didn’t like it.

that’s what it seems like to me as well. It’s funny how people feel like they can be jerks all the time and expect people to take it and then have a huge hissy fit when you give them a taste of their own medicine.

the bigger suprise to Josh is that hector didn't like it!!!
his Japanese “young boys” always took it as an honor to get that level of attention from an mma legend.

um
was there a bellator last week?
i thought this was a couple weeks ago.
"One should always be cold minded and remember that a ridiculous incident may occur any time."
No there wasn't a Bellator last week and this was a long while ago
It was either Megumi’s first or second fight for Bellator with Hector on the card. Barnett corners Megu and that’s why he was there.
I remember it...
Cuz i was asking myself WTF it was about. haha
"One should always be cold minded and remember that a ridiculous incident may occur any time."
it is what it is.
indeed.
"One should always be cold minded and remember that a ridiculous incident may occur any time."
him and Josh in a five-minute round turned a five-minute round of boxing into a 32-minute round of boxing and they just kept hitting each other harder and harder and basically what I did is I just sat and followed them with a mop. I mopped up all the blood because they were both bleeding.
Remember that whole article I wrote about head trauma and needing to make sure guys aren’t taking too many shots to the head in training..etc? …yeah

That picture deserves a better caption...
“Don’t make me ask this again…did you eat my peanut butter?”
Guillotine.
I wasn't expecting a better caption.
Alas, Peanut Butter wins.
Bacon would also have been accepted.
