Artem Lobov is no longer under contract with the UFC, and Ben Askren thinks ‘The Russian Hammer’s’ release was long overdue.
Following Tuesday’s report that Lobov had been granted his release by the UFC, ‘Funky’ took aim at the ‘GOAT’ on social media.
After Lobov hinted at a move to Bellator, ONE FC and various other promotions, Askren responded with the following sarcastic tweet.
Lobov, who trains alongside former ‘champ-champ’ Conor McGregor at SBG Ireland, answered with a joke about a possible transition to the boxing ring.
Lobov’s joke got a ‘good laugh’ out of Askren, who claimed that Lobov’s MMA-GOAT ‘gimmick’ had ran its course.
