“Shango” Hector Lombard (16-2-1) has joined American Top Team, ATT General Manager Richie Guerrero confirmed to MMA Junkie Thursday.
The Olympic judoka from Cuba joins WEC Lightweight Champion Mike Thomas Brown (15-4), Fighters.com’s tenth-ranked lightweight “JZ” Gesias Cavalcante (12-1-1), top welterweight contender “Pitbull” Thiago Alves (16-3), and Denis Kang (32-10-1), among others, at the Florida-based gym.
Lombard, who has fought in PRIDE, DEEP, and SpiritMC, held onto his Cage Fighting Championship middleweight belt in September when he forced Brian Ebersole (37-13-1) to verbally submit in round four.
Lombard has not lost since November 2006, when Gegard Mousasi (13-2-1) took the unanimous decision.
Lombard was scheduled to fight 8 November versus “Hands of Steel” Scott Smith (13-6) at EliteXC, but the show was cancelled and its parent company, ProElite, has since folded.
