"Knocking out Hector Lombard proves I'm next in line for a middleweight title shot. Honestly, I don't mind flying under the radar. I like coming into these fights as the underdog. I know Hector's the favorite and that's fine by me. I like surprising people.

I think this fight with Hector is gonna streamline my path to the title."

I feel the same way and it is because he hasn't been in the division very long and the fact that nobody really knows at what level Lombard is right now.

Lombard beating Boetsch could get Lombard a title shot.Boetsch beating Lombard does NOT get Boetsch a title shot.

He looks like James Hatfield (Metallica).

Boetsch looks like John Lober`s bigger brother.

Bisping would get Boetsch slapped.

Even though I'll be rooting for Lombard, I really like Boetsch's easygoing laid back appeal. He seems like a good guy (that can kick your ass!)

If Tim wins hes on a 4 fight win streak. One of those wins being a finish over the former number one contender. If he finishes Lombard then he 100% deserves a shot.
