Artem Lobov, a training partner of UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor, wants to fight featherweight contender Cub Swanson.
.@CubSwanson You mean wait for you to grow a pair??

On Thursday, Swanson said he would be willing to fight Lobov if the UFC couldn’t find him an opponent that would make more sense when it comes to rankings.
Swanson told Lobov to “Just go sit by your phone and wait.” Lobov responded to Swanson saying, “You mean wait for you to grow a pair??”
Lobov is on a two-fight win streak in the UFC. In November, he won a decision against Team Alpha Male member Teruto Ishihara. In August, he won a decision against Chris Avila, who is a teammate of the Diaz brothers.
Swanson is one of the top contenders in the UFC 145-pound division. He is currently on a three-fight win streak. In December, Swanson won an exciting decision against Doo Ho Choi. Swanson’s win streak also includes wins over Hacran Dias and Tatsuya Kawajiri.
