When Michael Johnson fights, you know what you’re going to get: A fighter who will live and die with how well he can implement his game plan of darting in, landing combos in close, and getting out of the way.
Artem Lobov, meanwhile, might not have the best won/loss record in the sport of MMA, but the fighter best known as Conor McGregor’s buddy has proven plenty tough and durable.
Those two factors played out in the veteran Johnson’s favor on Saturday night at UFC Moncton, as he did his thing against an opponent who was able to stand there and take everything his opponent could hand out.
