UFC’s Hector Lombard officially headed to welterweight, wants Nate Marquardt

BAD MMA News — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:15:00 +0000

After his much-anticipated arrival in the UFC middleweight division provided mixed results, Hector Lombard is officially dropping a weight class. Lombard (32-4-1 MMA, 1-2 UFC) today confirmed the move to welterweight via Twitter . Additionally, FUEL TV’s “UFC Tonight” confirmed the move on Tuesday, with reporter Ariel Helwani reporting Lombard is interested in a fight with Nate Marquardt (32-12-2 MMA, 10-5 UFC). UFC officials haven’t confirmed a date or an opponent for the former Bellator champion’s next bout. Lombard, who’s ranked No. 12 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA middleweight rankings , joined the UFC in 2012 on the strength of a 25-fight unbeaten streak (24-0-1). The run saw the Olympic judoka win Bellator’s inaugural middleweight tournament and make a lone title defense over Alexander Shlemenko . However, in his UFC debut, Lombard looked flat in suffering a split-decision defeat to Tim Boetsch (though most media outlets scored the fight for Lombard)
