MMA Junkie<\/a>). \u201cI mean obviously he\u2019s in the UFC now and I\u2019m not, so our paths are not going to cross immediately but it\u2019s something that I would definitely do. After his performance last time, I messaged Sean Shelby and I said if you will give me a one-fight deal against Zubaira, I\u2019m willing to fight for free. He said, look I hear you, I\u2019m not sure what that means, whether they would consider it or not but if they gave me a one-fight deal, I will fight him for free, no problem.\u201d<\/p>\nWhether it’s against Tukhugov or otherwise, Lobov is most definitely interesting in competing in MMA again \u2014 despite the recent success he’s been having in bare knuckle boxing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely yeah,\u201d Lobov said. \u201cI\u2019m actually in talks with some of the MMA promotions already. I\u2019m always on the lookout for fights. I love all fights and MMA is my bread and butter. This is where I started and I for sure want to go back in there. Not sure exactly when yet but I say within the year, I will have done boxing, bare-knuckle and an MMA fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lobov is expected to return to the BKFC ring this fall. That being said, he’s clearly still interested in MMA, and also recently called for a rematch with Paulie Malignaggi in the boxing ring.<\/p>\n
What do you think the future holds for Artem Lobov?<\/p>\n
