but what if Artem keeps it flowy?

just kidding, this matchup is pretty rough for the Hammer.  Will have to find that chin before the quicker man finds his or turns it into a grappling match.

They seem to want to keep Lobov on the roster for some reason but don't mind if he gets murdered along the way.

They probably won't cut him for losing this fight either. Though it's a pretty big softball for Ishihara TBH, I think Erosa was tougher than Lobov or Gutierrez(Erosa did lose to Lobov on TUF but I chalk that up to weird **** happening on TUF).

Prediction: wrong Ishihara   wrong Decision  

Artem Lobov since coming to the UFC literally has more 8-10 rounds than he has victorys... You guys will have to forgive me here ...He easily falls under my most HATED fighter on the UFC roster... I think its fairly clear why... hes got a big mouth and even bigger backer... but very minimal skills..  Ishihara on the contrary is just the opposite.. Great skills... agree he does fight in one of the best camps in the world..yet most of his Alpha MAle time is still spent in Japan at there gym there... Without the fight against Avila (who I agree is even WORSE than Artem in all facetts)  Artem is setting on a winless career here... 

I am sure he could suffer another loss and Conor could still save him from being cut..but not too many more is going to leave even him powerless over it. Soon enough Artem will be back to fighting in gyms in Dublin and carrying spit buckets for Conor... I see Ishihara just wearing Artem out and someone mentioned subbing Artem.. well hes actually tuffer to submit than he is to KO...so we will see

DEEPLY dissapointed in Ishihara.. wow he looked like he wasnt even present... What do you guys think happend to him? I can not put my finger on it..but its pathetic how Artem is now saying in media that he fought the fight of his career against a worthy opponent.. "Whegro Please.... Teruto showed very little fight in him the entire match!"... and still almost got KO in the 3rd..after he DID start letting those hands go... This fight wasnt about what Artem DID... nearly as much as what Teruto just absolutely didnt... Man I was mad!!

Ishihara is just overated man. He is so charismatic (he personally make me laugh AF) and had 2 fights that went his way with great finish but that's all..
BTW, i forget to change my picks but i put some money on Ishihara No finish.

Prediction: wrong Ishihara   wrong Decision  

@StreamFan, my guess is that Ishihara turned out to be the perfect stylistic matchup for Lobov. He's a lefty counterpuncher. Artem has been beaten up by the best lefty counterpuncher in the sport on a daily basis. Ishihara's best weapons are something Artem sees on a daily basis only from a much faster, much more talented opponent. He's literally spent years training for this specific fight and developing little habits that give this style issues and it's the easiest style for him to gameplay against.

I think that given that, this fight made Lobov look much better than he is and Ishihara much worse than he is. Lobov still has his glaring weaknesses (T-Rex arms, not too fast, not too talented) that will be exploited by most in the division, he just met his perfect matchup.

@yossgold We must agree with your point overall (Kavanagh underlined the same point..) But i still think that Teruto is kind of overated in general. He have good left hand with unconventional wild style + his personnality and his 2 knockouts kind of put him under the spotlight but that's all for the moment. (It's like Northcutt against Barbarena.. too much hype and then many ppl are shocked and talk about upset and ****).

These guys are decent fighters for sure but they are still young in the game and are not exceptional. (no disrespect). AND THEN you have real pure talent like Choi who have also only 3 fight in the UFC !! He's the real deal !!
