Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney: Basically Hector and Alexander were the two guys we had

On the Bellator middleweight division:
"The only thing that disappoints me is that still as a newer company it took us a while to get a lot of talented fighters on board at (middleweight). Hector was with us a lot of years and basically Hector and Alexander were the two guys we had.  Now we’ve got a lot of depth at 185 pounds.  Now it’s interesting to see who will be the champion at 185 (pounds).  Will it be Spang?  Will it be Falcao?  Will it be Shlemenko?  It will be interesting to see how it matures now."

Bellator CEO: Hector Lombard is the best middleweight in mixed martial arts

Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney:
"In my opinion, I believe without any question that Hector Lombard is the best middleweight in mixed martial arts. Whether or not we decide to match the outstanding UFC offer that he currently has, and whether he keeps fighting in Bellator and keeps knocking people out here. Or Maybe we decide from a business perspective that we’ll release him and allow him to go sign the deal with the UFC . I think whether he’s fighting in our circle at Bellator or the octagon at the UFC he will show that he is the best middleweight in the world. I think it will take him if he were to go to the UFC two to three fights to get an opportunity to fight Anderson Silva because Hector has that one factor in his game that everyone wants to see which is one punch devastating knockout power."
