Lombard needs to face a legit competitor and hopefully marquart cud test him to see Wer he truly lies in the mm division

it's a good fight for sure.

Lombard fought Mousasi a while ago and didn’t do that poorly. I think he’s grown a lot since then, and Nate would be a good test. But I think he’s still looking to stay at 170.

Nate better be looking to fight whoever he can

He can fight ‘Hector’ in a super fight and compete in the WW tourney. Hell, he can probably compete in both tourneys.

Yeah, I think Marquardt can really cash out on Bellator. And fight only B – competition, much more winnable fights.

haha this was pretty cool.

I hope they get Marquardt into a tourney. It’d be great for Bellator in my opinion, as despite what people say, they’ll tune in to see him fight.

This is the guy in the 185 lb division who gives me nightmares.

why, are you a mediocre fighter not signed to ufc/strikeforce?

...

Casey is a professional 185 lb fighter outside of UFC/Strikeforce.

I want to whoop you up............alright?

Terrible match up for Lombard

he’s going to realize that weighing 185 in a lightweight frame is not a good idea.

by av1o3 on Jul 13, 2011 5:26 PM EDT reply actions

I dunno

that’s exactly what Marquardt did.

Hector’s got Olympic Judo and a BJJ black belt. Its pretty even, IMO.

Not to mention atomic punches

I would love for Lombard to get some validation of his talents against Marquardt.

That was elephant in the room

the only thing Nate has is size.

Lombard win's in the grappling department for sure

but Nate has the length and skill to keep it up.

by av1o3 on Jul 13, 2011 7:12 PM EDT up reply actions

Phhffff

Lombard is a better grappler than Marquardt and probably hits harder. Marquardt is a good, well-rounded fighter, but really doesn’t excel anywhere. I’d take Lombard by tko.

Funny when Marquardt has fights against the likes of Yves and Shonie.

What everyone needs to do is calm down, take a deep breath, and prepare their bodies for the Thunderdome.

Yea Nate will circle away and tire Hector out all those muscles need a lot of oxygen

Lombard has pretty reasonable cardio considering how muscled up he is and he maintains quite a bit of power in his punches throughout the fight. Cardio good enough to strike and whatnot for three rounds. The best way to tire him out would be to force him to use straining muscle movements as opposed to ‘snappy’ (striking) movements. Nate would probably be better off going for takedowns or working the cage-clinch grind attack.

by Pyrgz Krum on Jul 13, 2011 7:33 PM EDT up reply actions

im gonna say that marquardt tears through him

the size difference is gonna be lop sided, even if marquardt has to put on the weight he just lost again, he’ll be even more cut. And i personally think he’d destroy Funky, just because of his lack of experience against highly decorated fighters as Nate.

Lombard redefines the term 'T-Rex arms'

At 67 inches, he’s got a shorter reach than Dominick Cruz, who fights four weight classes below him (although suddenly Wikipedia listed him at 73 inches, so I’m not sure what’s going on there).

I could really see Marquardt picking him apart, but I’m not completely sure because Okami was doing that very thing to Marquardt.

Nate’s kicks are going to be really dangerous for Hector.
