Hector vs. Heckled: Bellator Champ Lombard Returns to Face Starnes
Jake Rossen Sep 29, 2009
When Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney announced that his ESPN
Deportes-housed fight promotion
would go on sabbatical in order to take advantage of a major
(and still unannounced) new TV deal, he promised that his champions
wouldn’t be left in the lurch. Lightweight title holder Eddie
Alvarez fights on October’s Dream 11 card; now Hector
Lombard has a date.
According to MMAWeekly, Lombard has a scheduled brutalizing of Kalib Starnes locked in for October 9 in Queensland, Australia. Considering the relative skills and career projections of each, this isn’t much more than a glorified sparring session. (You’ll remember that Starnes’ fight with Nate Quarry will go down in infamy as unwatchable thanks to his paralyzed offense. )
Get well soon, Bellator. Lombard deserves better.
