It looks like Artem Lobov’s run with the UFC has come to an end, as the featherweight has told several promotions that he’s ready to throw down with anyone…
Lobov (13-15-1), who has lost three straight bouts, recently sent out the tweet below.
Locked and loaded, ready to take on anyone and everyone!!! Who wants it!!?! @BellatorMMA @KSW_MMA @rizin_PR @bareknucklefc @ONEChampionship @ACA_League

Oscar Willis, who works for MacLife, which is owned by Lobov’s teammate, Conor McGregor, also confirmed that Lobov is no longer part of the UFC.
I can confirm Artem Lobov has requested and been granted his release by the UFC. He wanted to fight in March, but the UFC wanted him to wait until April.

So, we’ll see what happens. Since Lobov competed in the UFC for multiple years, and because of his affiliation with McGregor, chances are the 32-year-old won’t have to wait long before lining up his next bout.
