A heated moment occurred during the Bare Knuckle FC pre-fight press conference between former UFC fighter Hector Lombard and Lorenzo Hunt. Both Lombard and Hunt will be on the main card of BKFC 22 event on November 13th.
The tension between the two rose when Hector Lombard was talking to the media at the press conference about their altercation and Lorenzo Hunt was offended by Lombard’s words. “Nobody wants to hear you talk,” said Lorenzo Hunt.

Hunt then walked up to Lombard and snatched Lombard’s cruiserweight belt. Hunt didn’t stop there as he slammed the belt to the ground really hard. Lombard who was at the peak of his wrath tried to attack Hunt but got held back by the guards.
Hunt was escorted out of the press conference room while people tried to calm Lombard down. Due to his act, BKFC had to fine and disclose Lorenzo Hunt.
The two share altercation history back in June at BKFC 18 where Hunt jumped into the ring and walked towards Lombard who was just winning against Joe Riggs. Lombard immediately attacked him on the face a few times before being separated.
