hector lombard is hysterical

"The funny thing for me is this sport has become a joke," Lombard said. "And no disrespect, but it's become a joke with all these fighters trying to copy Chael Sonnen. OK, Chael was the original, right? It's good for him what he became with all his media trash, which I have respect for him, because he was the first person who came up with the idea. And now, what's this douchebag that's always talking s--- about me? Michael Bisping. He thinks that he's funny. Now, he's just copying him.

"I actually saw him at the elevator, and Michael Bisping has got the smallest hands I've ever seen in my life. He says I'm a midget. OK. Fair enough. But I squeeze his hand – I didn't want to shake his hand, but I said, I don't want to leave you like that because I have a little bit of education – and he was about to cry, so I let it go.

"But let's go back to what I was saying to you from before. Now, everyone has become a professional wrestler. It's just talk, talk, talk. Now, Mousasi says he never trained. Can you believe that? Is that a joke, or what? He used to train with Fedor (Emelianenko). He used to train with M-1. He went to train with [Georges St-Pierre]. Now, here we go, he comes back and says he never trained. I want to put my hands on him before I retire because I need to whoop that kid up."

Lombard insists he wasn't training when he fought Mousasi and was tricked into competing in the PRIDE welterweight grand prix. Later, he said he was threatened by a PRIDE official when he told them he wouldn't compete again for the promotion.

"The Japanese called me up, and they said, 'We have a fighter for you,'" Lombard said. "And I said, 'When is that?' They said, 'In two weeks. He's a young guy who doesn't have any experience, so he's going to be an easy fight.' I said, 'Listen, I know he's got about 20 free fights. What the hell is going on?' So I decided to walk away from these Japanese, because they all lie all the time. So I said to PRIDE, 'Go away. Don't ever contact me again.' Then they wanted to intimidate me and s---. They said, 'We're going to send the Yakuza. We're going to kill you.' I'm like, 'What the hell is going on with these people?'"

Not exactly a Marquee line up of names.
It looks like a card from a local show..."Rumble in Pleasantville 3"
