The teammate of Conor McGregor, became a major claim against BKFC.
While some still have hope for the former Two-Division UFC champion who makes his return to the Octagon, McGregor all-in ventures from his fighting career has appeared.
One of the most prominent is the role of the Irishman as co-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, a bare boxing promotion that has gone into force to strength in recent years.
The will of Mike Perry, Eddie Alvarez and McGregor have encouraged the organization by confirming their names, but a former hunter has a bone to choose with BKFC.

Artem Lobov accuses BKFC of it not to pay him completely for Paulie Malignaggi Win
One of the most striking names that could be seen in the early days of BKFC was Artem Lobov, an ex-PUC hunter who became known as a teammate of McGregor's during the rise of the Dubliner to several success on the largest stage in MMA.
Lobov could not find similar success in the Octagon, instead gather a 2-5 record about seven UFC fights. However, he had the chance to arrange one of McGregor's quarrels when Lobov shared the BKFC ring with Paulie Malignaggi.
'The Russian Hammer' stroked the former WBA -Weltergeverkampioen in the main event of BKFC 6 in 2019. But six years later, Lobov said on the Ariel Helwani -Leave that he still needs to be paid in full by the organization for that event.
“Funny that you say this, Ariel,” Lobov said when he was asked if he could return to BKFC. “There may be opportunities for me to come back, but (BKFC) I still owe money. Do you know my fight with Paulie Malignaggi? I never received my pay-per-view money.
“David Feldman knows that it made 200,000 pay-per-views. He told me:” Look, you have to wait for the pay-per-view, eight months or whatever before we pay you. ” So I waited, then I was messages, messages, messages.
“Then I finally got my legal team to contact him. What he said …” Look, we love Artem, of course we're going to pay him. Unfortunately we have invested all the money in (BKFC) at the moment. We want to make it as large as possible … we have to keep reinvesting.
“So I'm waiting for this. I think Dave is a man of his word. I think he will pay me. It is around $ 300,000 that they owe me.”
Artem Lobov and Conor McGregor are not on good terms
It is sufficient to say that Lobov can probably forget every chance of a friendly phone call from McGregor to clean up his payment claim.
Lobov and McGregor have been years as teammates in the SBG Ireland Gym since their time. Their feud became public when 'the Russian hammer' approved the Irish star to claim an interest in his right No. twelve whiskey brand.
Lobov got the honor for the McGregor brand and insisted that he came up with the idea. The former PuC-hunter admitted that he had rejected an $ 1 million offer from 'The Notorious' after the success of the brand, and it was reported that Lobov is now looking for five percent of the revenues received when McGregor sold the correct no. Twelve for $ 600 million.
The court's hearing would take place last May, but was postponed until October after the case “fundamentally changed” of what was originally argued, per Sunday world.
