    No on Joke. The 5"9 Mw Who fought most of his Judo career in the early 2000's weighing 160lbs is calling out Barnett?

    Lombard fights in Australia, Barnett was ok to fight there so who knows? If They have more lax rules over there maby we can see an openweight fights id be excited to see.

    Lombard has looked a wrecking ball but its been against nobodys, Bellator shamelessly feed him cans without a second thought and Barnett isnt fighting reputable oppoents either.

    Really its just a real shame such a tallented Mw is stuck with no one to fight!

    Laughing Laughing The guy is clearly desperate for competition. I personally dont rank him as high as the rest of you seem to but fair play to him, you can only beat whats put in front of you of course.

    I suppose he's got nothing to lose by challenging Barnett and if somehow he did manage to pull off a win he'd be hot property.

    Who knows? People might finally stop talking about his victory over Kalib Starnes.

    It's hard not to fall for the Lombard hype,with the way he is just blasting opponents out with ease,but i'm really trying to hold back untill he faces an opponent thats worth watching,which at 32,he's really taking his time doing so.

    when he has stepped up in the past,against gono and mousasi,he's been beaten and also since then,probably the best fighter he has fought is Noke and he could only manage a draw in that one,but this was all 3-4 years ago.

    I honestly think he would do well if he steps up,but as we all know,it's so easy to get carried away,when you watch a fighter blasting people away for fun in spectacular fashion,Zaromski's is a good example of that.

    As for Barnett Laughing,shit barnett is 6 inches taller and about 70 odd lbs heavier,my advise to him is(even though we all know we would all be tuning in to see that fight)prove yourself at MW first before you get carried away with yourself.

    But still you can see why he gets called the MMA version of Tyson,when he swarms and takes fighters out like this
