Hector Lombard is looking to change things up in order to halt a six-fight winless streak.
Lombard, who had a long-time affiliation with American Top Team, has relocated to Sweden’s Allstars Training Center in preparation for his UFC Fight Night 137 showdown with Thales Leites. Lombard confirmed the move following a report from MMAjunkie.com.
At Allstars Training Center, Lombard will work alongside the likes of Alexander Gustafsson, Ilir Latifi and Jimi Manuwa. Gustafsson recently posted a photo on Instagram that included the newest addition to the team.
The 40-year-old former Bellator MMA champion hasn’t tasted victory since March 2014, when he outpointed Jake Shields at UFC 171. Lombard’s current slump includes three KO/TKO defeats and a disqualification loss to C.B. Dollaway in his most recent outing at UFC 222.
UFC Fight Night 137 takes place at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo on Sept. 22 and is headlined by a light heavyweight clash between Manuwa and Thiago Santos.
