One of the biggest grudge matches of the year will take place this weekend when Conor McGregor teammate Artem Lobov takes on former two-division boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi in a bare knuckle contest at BKFC 6 in Tampa, Florida.
Malignaggi has relentlessly provoked Lobov in an effort to get under McGregor’s skin, and BKFC president David Feldman believes the Irishman will take the bait and fly to Florida to support his SBG Ireland teammate and possibly get in ‘Magic Man’s’ face.
“They won’t give confirmation yet but if I’m a betting man, I’m betting he’s coming,” BKFC president David Feldman told MMAFighting’s Damon Martin in a recent interview.
