Johny Hendricks moves to middleweight, meets Hector Lombard at UFC Halifax

Well, the UFC may not have found a replacement opponent for former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos at UFC Fight Night 105 in Halifax, but an unexpected (and pretty exciting) middleweight match-up is the latest addition!

First reported by Globo, and later confirmed by MMA Junkie, Johny Hendricks will move up to middleweight and face powerhouse Hector Lombard.
