SBG Dublin fighter Artem Lobov has been criticized for his inclusion in the UFC roster. With a subpar win-loss slate of 13-15-1 (1 NC and 6 wins by stoppage), most people feel that he is in the UFC because of his connection with company superstar Conor McGregor.
In the wake of his third consecutive loss on Saturday at the hands of fellow TUF alum Michael Johnson, the question of whether or not “The Russian Hammer” should be cut from the roster or not is back on the table. Coach John Kavanagh, however, went in his fighter’s defense via a lengthy Facebook post.
