Hector Lombard would love to fight ‘fake’ Tyron Woodley in Eagle FC: ‘You don’t even have to ask me’

MIAMI – Hector Lombard is returning to MMA and with that comes a new realm of potential matchups.

The former Bellator middleweight champion and UFC veteran signed a multi-fight deal with Eagle FC, as he gears up for his MMA return on May 20 at Eagle FC 48. And now resuming his MMA career, Lombard (34-10-1) would love to fight former teammate Tyron Woodley  to settle an old dispute.

Lombard hopes Eagle FC signs Woodley, who’s currently a free agent, and will book a bout between the two. The 44-year-old says he’d accept the fight in a heartbeat if it ever came across his table.

“You already know, you don’t even have to ask me,” Lombard told MMA Junkie in Spanish. “That’s a done deal, I’m in.”

In the summer of 2021, Lombard and Woodley had a confrontation at a BKFC event. Lombard accused Woodley of hitting on his partner and since Lombard has been wanting to fight “The Chosen One.”

“He’s shameless, he’s fake, and I said it to his face,” Lombard said. “I don’t like fake people. He’s a liar and he takes cover in religion and uses it as a mask, but he’s fake. People like that I don’t get along with.”

Lombard has been competing in bare-knuckle boxing under the BKFC banner in recent years. He’s the BKFC cruiserweight champion. The Cuban fighter and former Olympic judoka plans to continue both bare-knuckle boxing and MMA career simultaneously.

Lombard hasn’t competed in MMA since his UFC release in 2018. He’s eager to get back to the sport where he competed for over a decade.

“I’m super happy, I’m super pleased to be fighting in Florida, in Miami,” Lombard said. “I can’t wait until I get to represent all the Cubans and my people and here we are. I’ve always had love for the sport of MMA and I will always for the rest of my life because it was a big part of my life for a long time. I will never get away from MMA.”

‘That’s not who I am’: Igor Severino apologizes for bite, hopes one mistake doesn’t define career

Igor Severino’s life isn’t the same as it was one week ago. As of now, the 20-year-old ex-UFC fighter doesn’t know if it’ll ever be even similar after he bit opponent Andre Lima during their March 23 fight at UFC on ESPN 53 in Las Vegas. The highly unusual...
