After a dominant 1st round against Neil Magny at UFC Fight Night 85, Hector Lombard looked to be on his way to an eventual stoppage in the co-main event. The tides soon turned, however, when the former Bellator middleweight champion looked notably exhausted responding to the buzzer.
Magny began landing several combinations on a stationary target and battered the Judoka on the ground. Referee Steve Perceval had finally seen enough in the third round and intervened to prevent Lombard from further damage.
It marked the Cuban-Australian's fourth fight at welterweight and the first stoppage of his career.
