Ready or not, "Lightning" is coming.
The return of one of the 170-pound division's heaviest of hitters is upon us as former Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard takes on No. 9-ranked Neil Magny in the UFC Fight Night 85 co-main event tomorrow night (Sat., March 19, 2016) inside Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Australia.
The powerful Cuban-Australian fighter will compete in the Octagon for the first time since testing positive for a banned substance following his unanimous-decision win (now a No Contest) over Josh Burkman at UFC 182 in Jan. 2015.
Over the course of the last year, Lombard missed out on the Conor McGregor frenzy, which saw the boisterous Irishman hoist gold twice, before packing up his featherweight suitcase to take aim at the welterweight collective.
