Hector Lombard is back in the winner’s circle.

The former Bellator middleweight champion didn’t have the greatest end to his run in the UFC, where he lost his last six fights.

But “Lightning” made his Bare Knuckle FC debut on Saturday night, and it paid off with a main-event victory over David Mundell in the main event of BKFC 10 at the Greater Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

Lombard defeated David Mundell in a cruiserweight bout via unanimous decision by scores of 49-46, 48-47, and 48-47.

“I was aggressive, and I scored the points,” Lombard said after the bout. “He was backing up the whole time, but my hat off to him. I never thought it was going to be that tough, but he put up a good fight.

“I wanted to be in bare knuckle because I wanted the experience, and now I have it,” he continued. “I’m pretty sure I have to change my gameplan and some little things, but it was an amazing experience.”

As the two 48-47 scores indicate, the bout was competitive, and Mundell is hoping to run the fight back.

“I kept the distance really well,” said Mundell, a former Bellator competitor. “I played the better boxing game. I understand this is bare knuckle, and everybody wants to see us slug it out, and he gave more pressure. I give him props for that, but let’s run it back and see what happens.”

In the co-featured bout, former Cage Warriors featherweight champion and UFC competitor Jim Alers improved to 4-0 in BKFC with a majority decision over Kaleb Harris at 155 pounds. The judges’ scores were 50-44, 48-46, and 47-47.

“Our game plan was to just stay in his face,” said Alers, who scored a first-round knockdown en route to victory. “He had long range and good power. I wanted to stay close, use my clinch, not get hit by those hooks. He’s a tough (guy), though. I hit him with some hard shots, and he just kept on coming.”
