Artem Lobov made his return to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship on Saturday, June 22 at BKFC 6 against former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida. Lobov stunned his rival in the bout en route to earning a unanimous decision win.
Lobov and Malignaggi had plenty of bad blood leading up to the fight — stemming back to their time training with Conor McGregor ahead of the Irishman’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather — and the former UFC fighter was able to get the last laugh.
Now that the fight is in the books, we get to take a look back with a behind-the-scenes look at fight night from Conor McGregor’s “The Mac Life.”
The video shows the final moments before Lobov walks to the ring — which includes a brief talk with his last opponent, Jason Knight — and a post-fight reaction from those who were in attendance.
Here is the behind-the-scenes look titled “The Night Artem Beat Paulie.”
