Serving a year-long suspension for testing positive for anabolic steroids following a decision win over Josh Burkman at UFC 182, Hector Lombard is making up for lost time.
Lombard was due to face welterweight contender Rory MacDonald in April at UFC 186, but the bout was scrapped with news of the failed test. MacDonald went on to challenge welterweight champion Robbie Lawler at UFC 189 in July while Lombard sat in timeout.
Now, Lombard is hoping to be rebooked against MacDonald in January when his suspension is up.
