Other than being Conor Mcgregors teammate why is Artem Lebov in the UFC?

That reach disadvantage for Artem plays a big factor against him. It’s still amazing to me, the amount of success he’s had (disregarding CM’s help). Artem does a lot of things well, but it doesn’t matter much if you can’t reach your target. Johnson looking clean. #UFCMoncton

I will say that fighting Artem is awkward and takes some mid fight adjusting #UFCMoncton

Ok, hear me out. Artem is doing better than most expected here but, his main sparring partner is a long rangy southpaw who primarily boxes. He won’t be too thrown off by Micheal Johnson’s game who most expected to win fairly easily. War GOAT ???#MMAmath #UFCMoncton
