With Lombard coming off a loss, it's time to put him in the cage with someone who'll actually give us an entertaining fight, not another contender with a wrestling-based game.
Enter Manhoef.

(Blue, please!)
Realistically, Hector might only be one more loss away from being cut, and Manhoef would be keen to make a good impression in his UFC debut.
Fight could bring Wandy/Stann level heat.
Lombard would take him down. Sorry. 
This makes me hard! 
I don't think hector's ego would allow himself to take melvin down :D which would be just fine
I'd watch the violence of that one for sure. I agree that his ego wouldn't bring a takedown only if he's hurt.
zuffa make it happen

It did against Shlemenko.
I'd honestly take MM at this point.
Lombard's doesn't have a very good shot, and I think he'd hesitate to go for a Judo TD since it would mean clinching up with Manhoef.
L'n'P risk should be kept at bay.
Do it
Lombard/Okami was a terrible stylistic fight
