Report: Artem Lobov vs. Michael Johnson targeted for UFC Moncton
When Zubaira Tukhugov was pulled from his fight with Artem Lobov at UFC Moncton for his involvement in the UFC 229 brawl, it was unclear whether the SBG fighter would remain on the card. It now seems likely Lobov will indeed be fighting later this month in Canada, as Michael Johnson is slated to fill in for Tukhugov to face “The Russian Hammer.”
The news was first reported by Ariel Helwani of ESPN. Following last week’s news that Tukhugov had been pulled from the card, Lobov pleaded to UFC president Dana White to not let the Chechen fighter “escape his punishment.”
