UFC 223: 5 Crazy Predictions

#4 The Russian Hammer retires

Artem Lobov punching Alex White

Ever since signing with the UFC in December of 2015, The Russian Hammer Artem Lobov has amassed a paltry record of 2 wins and 4 losses. The Novgorod born MMA fighter has always been on the lookout for a fight, however, with an overall record of 13 wins and 14 losses, no matter how gutsy, it surprising that he is still with the top fighting organization in the world.

Relegated to the UFC prelims as simply being Conor McGregor's training partner does not cut it anymore, Lobov faces another fighter's fighter in Alex "Bruce Leroy" Caceres. With the Vegas odds placing Lobov as an underdog, it is not out of the question that another loss, or at this point even a win, would lead Artem to leave his pursuit of combat for good.
