Jason Knight calls Lobov vs. Malignaggi ‘pretty garbage,’ seeks definitive KO at BKFC 9

Jason Knight has lamented his performance against Artem Lobov from the moment he saw Lobov’s hand raised after their first meeting in April.

After leaving the UFC, Knight signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships (BKFC) and was immediately matched up with the Octagon veteran. At the time, neither he or Lobov had competed in bare-knuckle boxing, so it was a learning experience for both.

Looking back, Knight realizes he completely abandoned his strategy after trading a few punches with Lobov in the first round, and he approached every subsequent exchange like it was a street fight.
