*Not every fight in mixed martial arts is in the cage.
It appears a fight may be brewing over Middleweight Hector Lombard, who has not lost a fight in nearly six years, and is currently under contract with Bellator.
UFC*President Dana White interviewed at UFC on Fuel in Sydney, Australia.
"I guess he's pretty popular down here. I've been hearing all about him since I've been here. I hear he's under contract though with someone else, so we''ll see. I'll probably end up with him. If he wants to fight in the UFC, then we'll probably end up with him."
Bellator Chairman/CEO Bjorn Rebney, in an exclusive interview with MMAMania.
"Hector remains our champion right now. We are in the midst of a pretty substantial negotiation relative to his future with the organization. I've said many times I think he's the best middleweight in mixed martial arts so it's not an easy negotiation by any stretch of the imagination.
"We've got the right to match on any deal. We're either gonna sign him before he goes out the to marketplace or he's going to go out to the marketplace and we're gonna have a determination as to whether we're gonna match or not match and we're gonna see where it ends up. I
"love the guy and he's an awesome talent. He's been nothing but a pure pleasure for me to work with. He's been a great guy for me to work with and he's done everything we've asked him to do and every time I've put him in a cage, he's knocked people silly. You can't really ask for more than that from a guy."

I actually heard a rumor around the gym that his championship clause with Bellator was up and he was heading to the UFC. Guess it might be true after all
