UFC head Dana White noted that the Russian-Irish MMA fighter Artem Lobov is still in the organization's roster. "Artem still remains with us. We did not make any decisions regarding his status in the organization. I'm still waiting for the story with Conor to finish, then deal with this situation," White said on the UFC Unfiltered podcast.
Lobov, along with McGregor, participated in the attack on the bus with the fighters of the tournament UFC 223. This entailed the cancellation of his fight with Alex Casares, which was to take place on this show.
A few weeks ago, Kyle Bozhnyak suggested meeting Lobov on September 15 in Moscow and Artem accepted the challenge. Officially, the battle has not yet been approved.
