Artem Lobov: If the UFC cuts Zubaira Tukhugov, I want to be gone as well

Because of his involvement in the UFC 229 post-fight brawl, featherweight fighter Zubaira Tukhugov is facing hefty repercussions. One of them is the possibility of being released from the UFC roster.

Teammate and close friend Khabib Nurmagomedov previously threatened to leave the company, should the UFC decide to cut Tukhugov. Apparently, Artem Lobov shares the same sentiment.

“If they cut him, I want to be gone as well,” Lobov said Monday on the Ariel Helwani MMA Show (via ESPN.com). “I will fight him in ACB, Bellator or any league he wants to do it. But I will get him.
