Lobov, a close friend and training partner of UFC star Conor McGregor, might well be heading to Moscow for his next bout. The 31-year-old has been issued a challenge for the September 15 event by fellow UFC featherweight Kyle Bochniak, a fighter last seen participating in a unanimous decision loss to Russia’s Zabit Magomedsharipov, which earned ‘Fight of the Night’ honors at UFC 223 last month.
