BELLATOR NEWS: Hector Lombard to meet Falaniko Vitale in non-title action at Bellator 44
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
Bellator Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard will be back in non-title action in the upcoming fourth season, as MMAJunkie.com reports that he will meet Falaniko Vitale at Bellator 44.
Lombard captured the Bellator Middleweight Championship when he won the very first Bellator middleweight tournament in season one. He then clocked two straight knockouts in under a minute in non-title action in Bellator before defeating season two tournament winner Alexander Shlemenko by decision in their season three title bout.
Lombard has now won 16 straight fights, and is unbeaten in his last 21 fights dating back to a November 2006 loss to Gegard Mousasi.
Vitale makes his Bellator debut on a two fight winning streak. He returned to action in 2010 after a 17 month absence that followed a loss to Frank Trigg in Strikeforce in 2008. He brings a 28-9 record throughout a near 12 year career spent mostly in his home state of Hawaii.
No city or venue has been chosen for the May 14 event as of yet, but the fight is expected to headline the MTV2 broadcast.

Penick's Analysis: Lombard has been extremely successful in his MMA career, but it's hard to shake the thought that his talent is being wasted right now. He's fighting competition that is, honestly, beneath him at this point considering his record and the way he's looked in winning a lot of his fights. He could easily be plugged into Strikeforce or the UFC and compete with most, if not all, of the middleweights in either division. But being in Bellator, he's relegated to these types of fights. Vitale is certainly a much more credible opponent than "Whisper" Goodman was last August, but he's nowhere near a top 25 opponent in 2011, and someone like Lombard should regularly be fighting that level of opponent.

Jon Fitch Ready For BJ Penn, Thinks Penn Won't Have Answers For Him
Top UFC Welterweight contender Jon Fitch has an important fight coming up this week against former champion BJ Penn when the two meet up in Australia and for Fitch, who has been in the top three in the division for quite some time, defeating Penn is another notch on his belt of top talent and a chance to prove once and for all he is the number one contender for Georges St. Pierre:<br><br>
"All I can do is worry about the fight in front of me.... Even thinking that I'm entitled for some reason to be fighting bigger fights or that I should be getting more respect or hell just thinking about someone taking my parking spot. Any little distraction, any little thought that's not focused on where it needs to be I think is just a deadweight.... I mean I've always been a focused person, but I think I've even been more focused for this fight more than ever.... Honestly right now I think B.J. Penn is such a big fight and this is such a huge card, to be fighting in Australia, that my focus is on B.J. Penn and I'm not really going to worry about anything else until after the fight.... I'm planning on getting this win and then let the dust settle in the weeks after.... I'm 13-1 in the UFC, I'm at a point where I should be headlining cards and fighting the top guys right now. That's where I should be and I feel like I've earned the spot. And I plan on proving that I've earned this with the fight with B.J.... I think that I have a very good skill set, I'm every good at what I do and there's not too many people in the world that have an answer for what I can do. I dare to say there's nobody in the world that can really find answers for what I'm able to do."

Jon Fitch Says Milk Doesn?t Do A Body Good
It’s hard to imagine for a carnivore like myself that a professional fighter who devotes the majority of their days to intense physical activity is able to keep up their training levels without eating meat and dairy products on a daily basis. Jon Fitch, a converted vegetarian, however says that’s a backwards way of looking [...]

UFC NEWS: Lightweights Nik Lentz and Waylon Lowe to meet at UFC Fight Night 24 in March
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
A lightweight bout between Nik Lentz and Waylon Lowe is coming to UFC Fight Night 24 in Seattle this March, according to a report from MMADieHards.com.
Lentz brings a very successful record into his sixth UFC fight, with a 20-3-2 mark over his 25-fight career. But despite a 12 fight unbeaten streak that includes a 4-0-1 mark in the Octagon, Lentz hasn't won himself many fans with a couple of lackluster fights, including a controversial split decision in his last fight against Tyson Griffin.
Lowe has picked up two straight wins after a loss to Melvin Guillard in his UFC debut. The 30-year-old is going for his 11th career win in this bout.
UFC Fight Night 24 takes place from the KeyArena in Seattle, Wash. on March 26, headlined by the light heavyweight bout between Tito Ortiz and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
Link to Original Source Article
Penick's Analysis: This fight is coming to the preliminary card despite both fighters having good marks in the organization. Lentz is going to be relegated to unaired bouts until he starts winning fights in more entertaining fashion. He's a good fighter, and is capable of winning a lot of fights, as has been seen over the last several years, but uneventful fights like the one he had with Andre Winner don't sit well with UFC officials, and right now unless he turns it up he'll likely be at risk of getting cut as soon as he loses a fight.

Strikeforce Challengers: Pat Healy Hands Lyle Beerbohm His First Loss
by Michael David Smith
Lyle Beerbohm is no longer undefeated, as Pat Healy gave him the first loss of his career in an entertaining fight on Friday night's Strikeforce Challengers card.
After 15 minutes of back-and-forth action, all three judges scored it 29-28 for Healy, as did I. The victory improved Healy's record to 26-17, while Beerbohm fell to 15-1.
"Good fight," Healy said afterward. "If they want a rematch, any time. I think I out-worked him, out-hustled him, won the exchanges on the feet and had some real close submissions."
