Alex White to face Artem Lobov at UFC 196 in Las Vegas

He didn't win The Ultimate Fighter 22, but he was certainly one of the more memorable figures on the show. And now featherweight Artem Lobov will get another chance to show what he's got.

The UFC announced on Tuesday that the Russian fighter -- who trains with Conor McGregor at SBG in Dublin -- will take on Alex White at UFC 196 on February 6 in Las Vegas. The heavy-handed Lobov (11-11-1) dropped a unanimous decision against Ryan Hall at the TUF 22 finale on Dec. 11. Before then he'd gone 2-0-1 in European theater shows.
