Hector Lombard Planning ‘Beautiful’ Victory Over ‘Fu**witt’ Dan Henderson

USATSI 8311744 e1440696828279

Cuban slugger Hector “Showeather” Lombard will be making his return to 185-pounds on the main card of this weekend’s (June 4, 2016) UFC 199 from The Forum in Inglewood, California.

Lombard will be taking on former Olympian and mixed martial arts legend Dan “Hendo” Henderson, and apparently there is some bad blood between the two – or at least from Lombard’s side – as the former Bellator champion blasted Henderson on a recent edition of Submission Radio:

“Dan Henderson is just fake. Fake guy, comes across like a nice guy when he’s not. You know if one day I have, let’s suppose that I have a Hector Lombard training camp or Hector Lombard facility, and some young guy [comes in to train], because trust me, even at ATT a bunch of guys came from Australia and I introduced myself. Like, ‘Hey man, how are you doing?’ Even guys from New Zealand like JJ and a bunch of others and young kids, I introduce myself, I tell them, ‘Whatever you need, just give me a call.’ I exchange numbers, you know, we talk quite a bit, we go, we do some training together. It’s not a big deal, ey? This fuckwitt is kind of like ‘Oh, I’m more than you.’ So he doesn’t care for me and I don’t care for him either.”

Lombard hasn’t technically won a fight since March 2014, and is coming off of a brutal stoppage loss at the hands of Neil Magny at UFC Fight Night 85 last March.

“Showeather”, however, is predicting a ‘beautiful’ victory over Henderson, as he feels as if his body won’t fail him as he claims it did last time out:

“I see myself beating him in a beautiful fashion. I’m gonna be fast, I’m gonna explosive. I don’t believe that my body is gonna be so tired and my body’s gonna give up on me in this fight, cause I only have to cut 15, 20 pounds. So that’s easy for me. I don’t believe that my body is going to give up on me again. So yeah. I’ll tell you, when my body’s functioning properly, I will be there like a pistol. You will see.”

Many have labeled Lombard as a risky test for the ageing veteran in “Hendo”, who has lost three of his last four bouts, and is coming off of a devastating knockout loss to Vitor Belfort last November.

Despite his recent skid, however, Henderson and his legendary right hand can never be counted out of a fight.

Who do you see taking this one home?
