Breaking news: The GOAT is back.
That’s right, Conor McGregor teammate Artem Lobov will be returning to MMA following his three-fight stint with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and will take on French MMA veteran Ylies Djiroun (17-6 MMA)under the Arena Fight Championship banner later this year.
Lobov signed a one-fight deal with the European-based MMA promotion and will make his promotional debut at Arena Fight 2 in December.
Lobov was cut by the UFC after dropping three-straight fights in 2017/2018 but went on to beat Jason Knight and Paulie Malignaggi at BKFC 5 and BKFC 6 last year.
