TUF 12 alum Michael Johnson was forced to step in on short notice as an opponent for Artem Lobov at UFC Moncton’s co-headliner pairing late last month. “The Menace” tipped the scales at 147 pounds which warranted a fine, but Lobov was not too keen on taking that money from the get-go.
“I will say this: If he ends up not making weight, I will still take the fight, and I will let him keep his percentage because he took the fight on short notice,” Lobov told MMAjunkie during media day, one day before the weigh-ins.
