He has heavy hands, and that is it. Terrible fight IQ, terrible cardio, terrible record
Exactly this. So many non-fighters in the thread. I'm not saying Sherdog is a forum for fighters and those who dedicate themselves to training only, but it should be with non-fighters being so fucking adamant that Artem Lobov is good when he's one of the worst fighters in modern day MMA to make it to the UFC, he would get slept at Bellator, WSOF, OneFC, KSW, etc. etcgood lord his form is horrendous. This man is going to have his taken clean off his shuolders with his hands down at his waist like that.
"Let’s be honest here — 99 percent of MMA fans haven’t got a clue what’s going on," he said. "They don’t understand the game enough to comment on any of that. They don’t know how easy it is to have an impressive record. I could have 10 guys in my gym tomorrow, beat them all up, and there’s 10 wins for my record. It is that easy. It is that easy to be 10-0. What I did is very, very hard. Not very many people do it — in fact, very, very few people do it.
"I can honestly say that if you look at people’s outside of the UFC records, I have the most solid record in the UFC right now. That’s a fact. I went down there looking for the challenges. When the phone rang, so many times this happened, and they say, look, we have this guy who’s really good, nobody wants to fight him in Europe, will Artem take him? Every time I said yes. No one else wanted to do it."
Lobov said that his record should read like a religious text for fighters who take easy routes to the UFC.
"They should bring up my record, and call it the fighter bible," he said. "The warrior bible. All those guys with padded records should read it everyday, and they should put my picture on their wall

lmao, in reality all those fighters were doing what he was describing at first -- getting an easy W to pad their record. Their managers be like, "oh yea, Artem, no one else will fight this guy, but you're sooooooo brave....", while snickering into their beards about what an easy win their fighter will soon have.When the phone rang, so many times this happened, and they say, look, we have this guy who’s really good, nobody wants to fight him in Europe, will Artem take him?

So many ignorant haters in this thread. He's one of the best prospects in featherweight in the world. He's doing very well for himself.
You can judge them based on their record. That's different than judging them based on their win percentage, which I think is what you mean.Can't judge a fighter soley based on their record. See Randy Couture.

Got nothing against Artem, but I never before had realized that he has blind fanboys too.
not only is he not good, but you can CLEARLY see it with your own eyes, and you can easily identify a few of his HUGE mistakes. It's not like this guy loses fights because he gets caught in unfortunate exchanges or anything like that. I honestly saw more technical fights in high school/college, by guys who knew little else than to keep their chins down and their hands up.You can judge them based on their record.

Randy's record included a ton of title fights. It was an impressive record overall.
Artem's poor win rate is against lesser competition. He is not good.
