Artem Lobov is slated to fight Alex Caceres — better known as ‘Bruce Leeroy’ — at UFC 223, and the ‘The Russian Hammer’ believes the UFC specifically targeted that event for good reason.
UFC 223 features a highly anticipated main event between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov, who are set to collide for the ‘undisputed’ lightweight title on April 7.
Lobov, 31, believes he was booked on the same card as Ferguson vs. Khabib to ensure that his teammate, Conor McGregor, would be ringside for the event.
