SBG Ireland’s Artem Lobov is itching to see teammate Conor McGregor back in the Octagon with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor, the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, was dominated and submitted by Nurmagomedov at the blockbuster UFC 229 pay-per-view at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas earlier this month.
McGregor has stated that he doesn’t mind waiting in line to fight Khabib, but Lobov believes ‘The Notorious’ is more than deserving of an immediate rematch.
Speaking to MMA Junkie ahead of Saturday’s bout with Michael Johnson, ‘The Russian Hammer’ hailed McGregor as a ‘fighter’s fighter’ who always shows up to fight no matter the opponent.
