“It’s going to be ‘night night’ for Jason Knight on April 6,” detto Lobov. “If we had fought in MMA, I think it would have been a competitive fight, but this is real fighting and he stands no chance against me. I’m happy to fight him in his hometown because I’ve always gone and taken the toughest challenges. They’re going to be cheering me when I’m leaving the arena.”
“I’m excited to fight someone like Artem Lobov in my hometown,” ha detto Cavaliere. “I’m ready to go out there and get this done. It’s going to be electric in the arena when they announce my name and I step into this fight. I don’t think he’s man enough to put me out like he says. He’s going to wish he never took this bare knuckle fight.”
The night of action will include former UFC veteran Chris Leben battling former Bellator standout Justin Baseman in a light heavyweight fight, Mississippi native Chase Sherman taking on BKFC fan-favorite Sam Shewmaker in a heavyweight attraction and Marcel Stamps, fresh off his BKFC victory over Kendall Grove, as he faces professional boxer Martin Verdin in a light heavyweight showdown.
A 32-year-old combattente dalla Russia, Lobov ha fatto il suo nome su Stagione 22 di The Ultimate Fighter come parte del Team McGregor, dove ha lavorato la sua strada verso la finale del torneo prima di perdere a Ryan Hall. Ha sfidato Cub Swanson in un evento principale UFC in 2016, dopo aver raccolto le vittorie su Chris Avila e Alex White. Mentre ha perso i suoi ultimi tre periodi UFC con decisione, possiede 13 professional MMA wins and will take that experience into BKFC action.
Rappresentare sua città natale di D'lberville, Mississippi, Cavaliere ha una 20-6 professional MMA record since turning pro in MMA at just seventeen-years-old. Ha fatto il suo debutto UFC in 2015 when he stepped in on two weeks’ notice to face Tatsuya Kawajiri in the Ultimate Fighter 22 finale, lasciando cadere una decisione unanime. Cavaliere ha continuato a vincere i suoi prossimi quattro attacchi UFC tra luglio 2016 e forse 2017. He then lost four consecutive contests, the final three coming by decision.
Nota: Artem Lobov had previously been announced to make his debut against Jason Knight at “BKFC 6” in Biloxi, SIGNORINA, which was originally scheduled for Saturday, Aprile 20.
