Hector Lombard Wants Mark Munoz Fight (What)??

I’m not sure what type of strange psychological warfare Hector Lombard is trying to implement prior to UFC149, but it’s working because I am thoroughly mystified. Lombard recently said if offered a title fight with Anderson Silva (assuming he beats Boetsch) he would turn it down in favor of a scrap with Mark Munoz. Apparently Munoz had some choice words that didn’t sit well with Lombard, though Michael Bisping has been far more vocal about the former Bellator Champ, in my opinion, and he is yet to acknowledge the Brit’s existence. Luckily Dana White swooped in like a bald Superman and saved the day, pointing out Lombard probably doesn’t have Fuel TV (because really, who does?) so he didn’t realize Munoz just had the contents of his skull emptied by Chris Weidman. For someone striving to prove he’s the best, calling out Munoz was a step in the wrong direction.

Today is my Saturday even if it is Tuesday everywhere else. My work week starts Thursday nights, making that my Monday, only I work 3 hours on my Monday, so my Monday doesn’t suck nearly as much as yours. Your Friday is my Tuesday, Saturday my Wednesday, I skip a Thursday and Sunday is my Friday before my three day weekend of two Saturdays and a Sunday, commonly known as Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I have a three day weekend every weekend (according to my calendar, not yours). Don’t bother trying to make it make sense, because it won’t. Anyway, on my Wednesday this week (your Saturday), Hector Lombard is making his UFC debut. Will Lombard be the next threat to Anderson Silva, or will he fall flat like many other top fighters outside the UFC? Time will tell, but for now let’s check out this Hector Lombard Highlight Reel.

Barao Won't Defend Belt; Will Wait for Cruz

It gets really hard writing about dudes in peak physical condition every day, while I sit at my dining room table surrounded by BBQ potato chips, vanilla cookies, and empty cans of generic root beer. I had a banana a little bit ago which I’m sure cancels that burrito I had for breakfast. I’m disappointed with myself; I’m also disappointed in Renan Barao. Barao, who faces Urijah Faber for the Interim Bantamweight title this weekend, recently said he would not defend the belt if victorious, but instead would wait for Dominick Cruz to return. I don’t understand why Interim Champions are given this option, the Welterweights made it work (barely) with some interesting fights, but the Bantamweights, arguably the least popular division, can’t afford an Interim Champ who won’t fight while their division struggles to gain fan support. I dislike Urijah, but at least he said he’d defend the strap.
