The only reason Atrem is in the UFC is because of Conor are there any other fighters in the UFC with under .500 record?

Geez....based off of Avila's opponents, the UFC must REALLY want Lobov to get a win. Like RotoJohn said, his friendship with Conor is the reason he's still around.

Lobov was trying to be Conor in TUF and that annoying.

@dtrain

And after that piss poor performance Lobov put on against White, I still see him losing this fight.

@GreenHornet Well, if he loses this fight, I don't think the UFC will have a choice but to dump him.

Tiki went 0-4 before they let him go so maybe they will let him go. Same with Cote albeit he was in the TUF finals.

Those^ guys were in a time where the rosters were smaller and Lobov is under 0.500

Definitely the Conor connection...

UFC brass must still be hugging on Conor's nuts pretty hard to give Lobov another fight with a guy who was seemingly signed to lose to him.

I know it is the Conor connection. They could use what I mentioned as an excuse, though.

Artem is a clunky fighter who tends to rely on his good chin and heavy striking Avila will use footwork to win a decision I think.

Avila is a training partner of the Diaz brothers and should be prepared to deal with a fighter that wings bombs right from the hips.

Feels like they're throwing artem a bone, but neither seem to offer much longevity.

Prediction: correct Lobov   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Well, he should win this ... Avila hasn't beaten anybody yet and I think the only reason he got the call to the UFC was SBG vs. Skrap Pack underneath the umbrella of the Diaz vs. McGregor fight.

There are so many fighters in the region that I'm 100% certain are way closer to Joe Silva's radar than Avila.

Don't get me wrong, Avila's solid and may get much better, nor will I be totally shocked if he wins the fight because Artem isn't good, but my guess is he got this fight because Nate or Conor suggested some sort of a "gym war" to spice up the card, since they've both been going back and forth about each other's teams, not only themselves.

I don't know much about Avila but I've really lost faith in Lobov quickly. It seems he either lands a big shot or just loses.
