http://mmajunkie.com/news/25280/bellator-champ-hector-lombard-willing-to-move-to-205-pounds-for-babalu-fight.mma

"As far as Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard (30-2-1 MMA, 7-0 BFC) understood it, Renato "Babalu" Sobral (36-9 MMA, 0-0 BFC) wanted to fight him at 205 pounds."

could be an interesting fight lombard is a pretty big MW so i could see him moving up

what do you guys think?

I don't think of Lombard as a huge MW. I think he should lose some muscle and be at 170.

I don't think Babalu could've ever beaten Lombard to be honest.

I don't see Lombard as a huge MW. Wouldn't be bad to see a catchweight at 195, Babalu did it with Lawler before.

Yeah... Lombard should take this one fairly easily, its not like the size difference is going to help Babalu's chin.

Lombard is definitely a short MW who could make WW, don't see LHW as too good of an idea.

Babalu has teased with the idea of dropping to 185 so I agree a catch weight would be ideal. This should be a recognizable name to add to Lombard's resume.

I agree that Lombard should try cutting down.

I like both fighters but I dont see Babalu's chin taking a bomb from Lombard
