The Slap Game: Artem Lobov vs. Paulie Malignaggi

What do you do when you want to fight someone, but you don’t really want to fight someone, at that moment? You slap them.

The Slap Heard ‘Round the World

Today, former UFC and current Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) featherweight, Artem “The Russian Hammer” Lobov got publicly slapped in the face by retired boxing welterweight Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi at a BKFC media event in New York, NY.

Malignaggi, a recent BKFC signee, has a well-worn beef with Lobov’s friend and training partner Conor McGregor.
