Hector Lombard

Héctor “Lightning” Lombard is a 2000 Olympic judoka from Cuba who defected in Australia and became the inaugural Bellator middleweight champion, putting together a 25-fight unbeaten streak and recording the fastest knockout in Bellator history (six seconds).

He arrived in the UFC in 2012 as a top contender but lost his debut to Tim Boetsch, then won as a welterweight before a failed drug test in 2014. CagePotato covered his blockbuster UFC signing and his struggles after it.
