Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., is the site for the next Ultimate Fighting Championship event, which takes place Saturday night. Headlining the event is fan favorite Cub Swanson taking on Conor McGregor’s friend and teammate Artem Lobov.
With both men in need of a win at this crucial juncture of their careers, both Swanson and Lobov were flawless at the official weigh-ins Friday morning. Lobov, originally from Russia before moving to Ireland, tipped the scale at 145 pounds. Albuquerque’s Swanson, who is coming off an inhumanly thrilling war with Doo Ho Choi, came in at 145 pounds, giving the featured fight the green light.
