That was beyond the pale. Lombard should be DQ'ed.

What does "intentional" even mean? They're trying to punch each other. Yes it was late and obviously a foul, but I don't know that Lombard was trying to be dirty. Just a bit wild.

Love it. Nothing like getting a pick right with your fighter on a stretcher asking "what happened".

Man, that sucks.

Five losses in a row now for Lombard, guess that's it for him.

That was completely dirty. That wasn't a punch that was uncorked on the buzzer. CB landed his kick on the buzzer and Lombard knew the round was over when he threw those.

@Greg that one wad completely egregious mate. Ignored the bell and the ref's call to stop. Can't let those ones slide IMO.

He does have a point.


CB did put his hands on the mat after getting knocked down, so he was conscious when he was falling down.

Still illegal though.

Imo it's asking a fighter to have too much self-control because the 2 piece combo was clearly Lombard's response to the body kick and he was in the process of starting it. In real time it was hard to tell but with the replay it's clearly late.

I blame Jeremy Stephens. It's just like when a ref stops a fight too soon or late after he/she has just done the opposite shortly before.
