The last time Artem Lobov got himself into a scuffle with one of Conor McGregor’s many rivals, McGregor hopped a plane from Ireland and created a mess of UFC 223 in Brooklyn (as well as the biggest UFC pay-per-view of all time). That was last April. One year later, as his teammate Lobov this time ended up on the receiving end of a Paulie Malignaggi slap at the Bare Knuckle FC press conference, McGregor didn’t exactly fly into action. After all, he is retired from the grim trade and happily pushing Irish whiskey.
Why do Artem Lobov’s scuffles bring out the worst of Conor McGregor?
