“I’m about to finish my career.” At 44, HectorLombard will face fellow UFC vet Thiago Silva in the co-main event of Friday’s Eagle FC 47 event knowing that the end is near
Hector Lombard has spent more than 25 years building a combat sports career on a reputation of intensity and sheer aggression. Yet ahead of his Eagle FC debut, his social media feed features clips of him singing and dancing in the locker rooms of American Top Team alongside his teammate, Junior Dos Santos, who is also in action on Friday's Eagle FC 47 card.
"I'm about to finish my career," Lombard told MMA Underground. "If you do this, it is because you like to do it."A fourth-degree black belt in judo, Lombard won several Cuban national championship medals in the sport dating back to 1997 before representing his country in the 2000 Olympic Games.
But now, as he realizes his time as a professional athlete is waning, Lombard is returning to MMA to compete for Eagle FC, the promotion founded by undefeated UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov. Ahead of his promotional debut, Lombard said he's pleased with his current status.
