Bellator CEO, Bjorn Rebney has made a bold statement today regarding the promotions middleweight champion, Hector Lombard, claiming there is only one 185 pound fighter in the world right now who could stop the muscle-bound powerhouse and that is UFC champion, Anderson Silva.
Speaking via Sherdog.com, Rebney said:
“We have an incredibly dominant champion. It’s not easy. I think, right now, when you look at Vitor Vianna and Alexander Shlemenko, we could provide a good test for Hector Lombard. I think he’s one of the best two middleweights on earth. I think Hector is an absolute monster. I think there’s one guy on earth right now that I would look at and say to myself, ‘He could beat Hector.’ His name is Anderson Silva. I don’t know that I would pick Anderson to beat Hector, but it would be one heck of a fight. We’ll see what happens with Alexander and Vitor, and one of those guys is going to come out with a big win.”
