I think Lombard has this one. His back is against the wall.

He was in the UFC past his prime so we will never know how good he could have been.

Lombard's performance is inversly proportional to how rigorous his organization's drug testing program is.

Roided out in Bellator? Let's not forget he was an Olympian. He has a good amount of talent by itself. I think his issue is he is too short and got old.

Yes, are you dense?  Do you honestly think he was clean in bellator? Are you out of your goddam mind? So he decides, he going to roid when there actual drug testing, but not when there was not any?  Like do you even read what you type? It beyond obvious he been roidng the whole time, his body is not remotely natural for his frame.  Also the Cuban Olympic team, is known for PED use.........

Prediction: correct Dollaway   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I'm picking CB in an even bigger comeback than Magny and then i'm going to start calling him CB Dolla'no'way! Ok horrible joke out of the way..I just noticed his name is Clarence Byron,no wonder he became a fighter =/

For real though I think we all know the two likely outcomes,Lombard-KO-1 or bust for him.I'm going to lean CB but god I have so little faith in either.CB should literally try to wrestle him early,he probably wouldn't get a td but maybe get him against the cage burn his arms/lungs a bit and then take it from there.

CB seems to have really let his wrestling go over the last 5+ years,he used to have a nice clean,fast,level change,drive and timing on his double now he's sloppy so he could just catch a knee shooting in and he's not going to move Lombard in a standing clinch.Idk I throw my hand up in this one..CB-Dec or CB-TKO-3 I guess,got a feeling he gets ko'd.

Lombard tested positive for steroids in 2015 he hasn't won a fight since. We know he is a user so given Bellator leaves 100% of testing to the commissions minimum standards it is safe to say he likely used.

No I am being a realist and not being a moron. I bet you also think Anderson was clean his entire career, right? Honestly, get your head out of your ass.

@Bigj

Not to mention he got caught with designer steroids that previously where not able to be properly tested for.  Dude was an absolute pro at it.

But without any proof in Bellator, it is just speculation.

It's hard to get proof when nobody was looking for it. It's like Pride where they didn't test at all it's fair to assume a good chunk of the field was using. Especially when performances suddenly drop off when faced with any form of testing.

The evidence we do have is Lombard was 100% a steroid user at some point because he tested positive.
Other things we know UFC testing was more strict than Bellator even pre USADA.
A clean fighter wouldn't suddenly start using when the likelihood of being caught is higher.

As far as the general mentality of user. UFC has the most rigorous drug testing in all of professional sports yet still people try and cheat even when getting caught is getting close to certainty.

So Lombard is a known cheat
He cheated in the UFC where the chance of getting caught is higher.
So in Bellator where the chance of getting caught was minimal you are claiming he wasn't most likely using... OK

Prediction: wrong Lombard   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

The question is how likely is it for Lombard, a known steroid abuser to risk getting caught again this late into his career. I'd say the likelihood is good that he's still on something and looking for a few more paydays before he retires for good. He knows he can't go without it and be competitive at this stage. Cheaters will usually find a way to cheat again. Just how it is.
