Hector Miguel Lombard Pedrosa (born 2 February 1978) is a Cuban-born Australian professional mixed martial artist, bodybuilder, and former Olympic judoka who competes as a Middleweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He was the first ever Bellator Middleweight Champion.
Hector Lombard is a fourth degree black belt in Judo and former Olympic Judo competitor from Cuba. Lombard currently trains at the world-renowned American Top Team facility in Coconut Creek, Florida. Marcus "Conan" Silveira (ATT Head Coach) awarded Lombard with a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu following his victory at CFC 12.
In 2006, Lombard fought twice in PRIDE, losing two unanimous decisions, one to Akihiro Gono and one to Gegard Mousasi.
Lombard headlined the first Cage Fighting Championship show on 28 July 2007, where he fought top Australian fighter Kyle Noke. The result was a controversial draw. On 23 November 2007, Lombard defeated French kickboxer and actor, Jean-François Lénogue to be the CFC Middleweight Champion. He has defended his title six times with the last title defence coming against Art Santore. Lombard next successfully defended his belt against UFC veteran Joe Doerksen at CFC 16 on 25 March.
Lombard was scheduled to compete for the promotion at UFC 78, but was forced to withdraw due to visa issues.
On 18 April 2008, EliteXC released a press statement citing the signing of Hector Lombard. His first opponent was scheduled to be Scott Smith in November, but the fight was later cancelled after the collapse of the promotion.
