There's an article on the main page that discounts Lombard cause he's already booked..
couldn't they give Burkman someone else, and have Lombard and Rory Mac fight for the title shot while keeping both guys busy?

ehh Rory already asked for that fight pre Tarec booking and it didin't happen
to me Rory has done more than enough to get the winner of Lawler Hendricks

Totally... but he's gonna have to sit on the sidelines for forever... and you never know what happens while you sit waiting... with a big KO of Burkman, Lombard could pass MacDonald while's sitting for a title shot.
Look at Gustaffson.

If Lombard makes quick work of Burkman, then I think this fight happens. I don't see Ruthless or Hendricks making out of their fight not injured.
I think the reason it didn't happen was Lombard was hurt and they wanted Rory for this last card. I don't think they foresaw Rory walking through Terc like he did, so they booked the Lombard fight.

I don't think they should match these two up yet. This are the two top contenders in the weight class and if the new WW wants to be active they are going to need some contenders or we will see more mismatches like DJ vs that last guy he fought on the Ceronne & McGregor card

No. Lombard has beaten Shields and Marquardt at welterweight, that's it. Rory MacDonald has dominated Maia, Saffiedine and Woodley this year. he lost to robbie lawler in a close fight last year, and a lot of canada is behind him. Lombard on the other hand, i'm not sure a lot of people know who he is

This fight would definitely make sense to create a clear-cut number one contender.

Rory's the # 1 contender.
Gave Lombard fight the. Undefeated Gastullum.
I like Kelvin a lot and think he would upset Lombard.

Not sure, but I would be surprised if it wasn't until late 2015.

Rory has earned his shot. Beating 3 top ten guys in a row is enough for me. Plus, UFC is going back to Montreal in early 2015. Hendricks/Lawler vs. Rory in Montreal? Fek yuh

Also, either matchup would be fantastic. Hendricks vs. Rory; Hendricks getting his "revenge" against GSP's protege on Rory's home turf. Or Rory getting his revenge against Lawler after their awesome and close first fight.
