Artem Lobov’s post-UFC career will see him enter the world of bare-knuckle boxing.
Having been granted his release from the UFC, Lobov told ESPN’s Ariel Helwani that he’s now with Bare Knuckle FC on a three-fight deal worth six-figures and includes PPV points. According to Helwani, “the deal allows him to sign with an MMA promotion, as well.”
The bare-knuckle debut of “The Russian Hammer” will take place in Biloxi, Mississippi on April 20th against Jason Knight, himself recently cut from the UFC roster.
“I feel Artem is a great addition to our roster and his style is made for this sport,” Bare Knuckle FC president David Feldman said in an official statement.
