== Mixed Martial Arts Career ==
=== UFC Career ===
Lambert made his debut in the UFC at UFC 58 USA vs Canada as a late replacement for The Ultimate Fighter 2 cast member Seth Petruzelli, who suffered a concussion while training and had to withdraw from the bout. Lambert’s debut was successful, submitting his opponent, Rob MacDonald, early in the first round.
Lambert fought again at UFC 59 Reality Check, defeating Terry Martin by TKO (Punches) at 2:37 of round two. His next fight, against Branden Lee Hinkle at Ultimate Fight Night 5, marked Lambert’s third consecutive UFC victory. Despite this initial win streak, he was not seen on a live UFC pay-per-view broadcast until UFC 63, where he lost to Rashad Evans by KO (Punches) in the second round. At UFC 68, Lambert defeated veteran and former title challenger [[Renato “Babalu” Sobral]] in a stunning upset by second-round knockout.
Lambert was scheduled to fight Wilson Gouveia at UFC 76 Knockout, but the bout was rescheduled to UFC 80 Rapid Fire after Gouveia suffered an injury in training. Lambert was knocked out by Gouveia by a left hook which, ironically, was identitical to the hook used by Lambert in his prior fight to finish Renato Sobral.
Lambert then lost at UFC 85 Bedlam via TKO (Punches) at the hands of Luiz Arthur Cane at 2:07 of the second round. Lambert moved down to the middleweight division for his last fight in the UFC against Jason MacDonald at UFC 88 Breakthrough, which he lost via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 1:20 in the second round.
=== Post UFC ===
In his first bout after his release from the UFC, Lambert lost a unanimous decision to former IFL Light Heavyweight Champion Vladimir Matyushenko at Call to Arms I on May 16, 2009.
Lambert continued to slide dropping five-straight contests, losing to former IFL Middleweight Champion Matt Horwich at AMMA 1: First Blood on October 24, 2009, by split decision. He returned to action in 2010 where he faced off against Dominic Brown at a C3 event, finally ending his losing streak in the first round by TKO (Punches). He returned to C3 for his next fight, defeating Wayne Cole with a Rear Naked Choke in the second round.
Powerhouse World Promotions held an event on August 14, 2010 that held three title fights, one of which was Lambert against former KOTC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Champion Tony Lopez for the promotion’s first-ever light heavyweight championship. Lopez actually took the fight on short notice. Lambert opened intelligently and worked hard to close the massive reach disadvatange. His dirty boxing and clinch work proved effective in the opening round and looked just as sharp to open the second. But a brief lapse in judgment led to his demise. Lambert abandoned a bodylock for a headlock, but he slipped off and fell to his back. As he tried to regain his feet, Lopez latched onto a Thai clinch and delivered a devastating left knee to the chin. Lambert crumpled to the canvas, and two punches caught his chin before the fight could be halted.
