Lobov entered into UFC in 2015 after appearing in Season 22 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” where he was in team Conor Mcgregor. Most recently he’s coming off a unanimous decision loss to Michael Johnson in October.
Lobov and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s hotel altercation prior to UFC 223 event last April ensued an incident at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, in which Irishman and his goons threw a metal dolly at a bus that was transporting ‘Eagle’ and other UFC fighters.
Due to of that Lobov’s scheduled fight to Nurmagomedov’s teammate Zubaira Tukhugov canceled on the same card.
