Rory MacDonald vs. Hector Lombard being discussed for 2016

It looks like a welterweight bout that was scheduled for last April might still be on the table for the UFC.

A bout that was originally scheduled for UFC 186 might be something the UFC goes back to. According to the crew at UFC Tonight, the promotion is still interested in booking a welterweight bout between recent title challenger Rory MacDonald and Hector Lombard.

April's pay-per-view in Montreal was supposed to be headlined by a welterweight bout between MacDonald and Lombard, but the bout was scrapped when Lombard tested positive for steroids.
