BKFC 6’s Paulie Malignaggi says Artem Lobov ‘won’t know what to do when the bell rings’

Paulie Malignaggi says Artem Lobov has got a case of the pre-fight jitters ahead of their highly anticipated bare knuckle grudge match at BKFC 6, and that ‘The Russian Hammer’ won’t know what to do when the opening bell rings on Saturday night.

Malignaggi, who is Lobov’s highest-profile opponent to date, sounded off on the former UFC featherweight at Thursday’s pre-fight press conference in Tampa.

“This is the biggest fight of his career and he only got here because he started with me. I’m going to finish it on Saturday,” Malignaggi said, per Martin Domin of The Mirror UK.
