Featherweight standouts Teruto Ishihara and Artem Lobov kicked off UFC Fight Night 99’s main card on Fight Pass this afternoon (Sat., Nov. 19, 2016) from inside The SSE Arena in Belfast, northern Ireland. Ishihara and Lobov exchanged a lot of words in the lead up to this one, including Teruto saying he would cut Lobov’s throat with his katana (after hitting on the reporter) and Lobov saying that he would make Ishihara his bitch.
Teruto was loose and confident on his way out to the cage. Lobov was calm and composed. Ringside announcer Dan Hardy mentions that Lobov had a career in finance before his mixed martial arts (MMA) career .
