Artem Lobov got into a brief scuffle with some fans after the weigh-in for his BKFC fight with Paulie Malignaggi.
Following the weigh-in for his fight with Paulie Malignaggi this weekend at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 6, Artem Lobov appeared to kick out at some fans after a brief altercation.
Both Malignaggi and Lobov successfully weighed in under the 155-pound weight limit for their fight. After, Lobov is seen rallying up the crowd raising his Irish and Russian flags before something is thrown his way on stage.

Some fans then start to clearly frustrate Lobov as “The Russian Hammer” walked over to them and flipped them off. One of the men appeared to lunge towards Lobov which caused the SBG fighter to kick out at the fans.
There has been a lot of bad blood between both men in the lead up to this weekend’s fight. It started when Malignaggi slapped Lobov at a BKFC media day in April, and things have even escalated as far as Malignaggi threatening to “break Lobov’s teeth and urinate in his mouth.”
