Kinda depressing that the highlight of the card is some dude proposing, oh well. Patrickys on tap soon hopefully he'll give us another one.
Hector Lombard lands yet another vicious right hand leaving Vitale slowly toppling to the ground.
One rule when Hector Lombard enters the cage -- do not blink. In a Middleweight Non-Title Super Fight in Bellator 44, the Hawaiian UFC veteran Falaniko Vitale entered the cage with one of the most feared power-punchers, Bellator World Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard. It only took one heavy punch from the former Cuban Judo Olympian to put Falaniko to sleep in the third round.
