Artem Lobov’s time with the UFC has come to an end.

On Tuesday afternoon, “The Russian Hammer” took to Twitter to announce he was no longer a member of the promotion he has called home for the last three years, while offering his services to several rival MMA promotions as well as kickboxing promotion Glory.

MMA Fighting later confirmed the validity of his tweets.

@DrGlaze Isaac Valle-Flagg already called him out for some BKB action, I wouldn’t mind seeing that at all.

You guys say what you want about Artem, but I ******* respect the **** out of that man. He will truly fight anyone, anywhere, anytime, and say **** it to money, weight and contracts. I hope he goes to every promotion ever and fights ******* everybody, the GOAT does whatever the fook he wants

@Draco I don't think anyone really hates him. There's nothing to hate. It's more about the fact that he was gifted fights he really hadn't earned and had no business getting because he was Conor's buddy.

He does ok considering he's not physically gifted and he'll probably be better off in promotion with a lower tier talent pool TBH. One would be a good fit.

Oh of course, I wasn't like going off on anybody, I probably didn't choose my words wisely. I was just expressing how much I really am going to miss him in the UFC, because hardly anyone else has that mindset

I'd like to see him get run over by a bus.... he's a bum. Of course he takes any fight cause he's amazed whenever he gets one. On account of how much he sucks. And no im not referring to him sucking conors ****.
He shoulda sucked dana whites **** instead at least then he would of got a belt like rousey did. Or a beating from his husband like ostovich did. I'd say he belongs in invicta but I dont wanna insult invicta fighters.

Artem is getting legit offers from several credible promotions. Including a Championship fight vs Khasan Askhabov, brother of Khusein Askhabov (rumors of being close to signing with UFC), in WWFC. Supposedly a purse of 100K. That promotion also just had their LHW Champ Roman Dolidze (6-0) all by finish, sign with the UFC. 

Which interestingly enough, is because WWFC Vice President Denis Perch visited the UFC after having made like a pack/union with several other bigger European promotions to help supply the Major league promotions with talent, including & much like what the UFC has with M-1 & their President Vadim Finkelchtein.
