In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 85, No. 9-ranked welterweight contender Neil Magny (17-4) welcomes No. 13-ranked Hector Lombard (34-4-1, 2 NC) back to the Octagon.
Lombard is making his return after popping for an anabolic steroid last year. The much feared, highly intense American Top Team fighter seeks a crucial victory to put him back in the top 10.
Magny has back-to-back victories over Erick Silva and Kelvin Gastelum, and a third straight over Lombard would put him position to be a contender to Robbie Lawler's gold belt. But defeating Lombard in front of a hostile crowd will be a tall order.
22 of Lombard's 34 professional bouts have come down under. His record? 20-0-1 (1 NC). Suffice to say, Lombard does well fighting in Australia.
Can Magny defeat Lombard in Brisbane? Or will Lombard stay undefeated within the Australian borders?
This is your UFC Fight Night 85 co-main event head-to-toe breakdown.
