Although he has Andre Fili firmly in his crosshairs ahead of their upcoming bout at UFC Gdansk on Oct. 21, Lobov recently claimed that he would entertain a fight with blue-chip Dagestan prospect Zabit Magomedsharipov in an interview with the Talking Brawls podcast.
The Russian called for date with Lobov following his scintillating UFC debut where he scored a second round submission win over Mike Santiago, increasing his current win streak to nine.
Mark Henry has been singing Magomedsharipov’s praises ever since he began working with him in New Jersey.
