Cuban grappling superstar Hector Lombard won’t be able to make his UFC debut against fellow Karo Parisyan at UFC78. Unfortunatley the Cuban National was not granted a visa to enter the US, even though he now resides full time in Australia.
Too bad really, this guy was poised to make a serious mark in the UFC.
Lombard recently fought to a draw in July on a Cage Fighting Championship card but was on a four fight winning streak after he left PRIDE. His appearance in the UFC gives us all hope that we might see a rematch between him anf fellow PRIDE star and also new UFC fighter Akihiro Gono.
No word yet on a replacement.
