Hector Lombard vs Johny Hendricks on tap for UFC Fight Night 105 in Halifax

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has paired a couple of hard-hitting sluggers — and former welterweights — for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 105 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, scheduled for Sun., Feb. 19, 2017 inside Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Lombard (34-6-1, 1 NC) is coming off back-to-back losses, as well as a drug test suspension, and hasn’t seen the win column since a 2014 drubbing over the since-departed Jake Shields.

His move back to the 185-pound weight class was prompted by his poor performances, a far cry from the days of wrecking shop as the Bellator middleweight kingpin.
