Artem Lobov joined Damon Martin on ‘TUF Talk‘ after the airing of The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs Team Faber episode 5 to talk about his time in the TUF house, the tougher route to the UFC that the European fighters face and more

“I could see the guys did have some experience. All of them had a good few fights, some good records on the show, but I knew that in the U.S. if you were a very good fighter, if you are truly a UFC caliber fighter, you will be in the UFC. You do not need The Ultimate Fighter”

“Because that’s where most of the UFC shows take place, in the U.S. and they are constantly looking for good new talent. So I knew the fact that these guys aren’t in the UFC that shows something. I felt that they would probably be a ‘B’ level fighter where as for the Europeans, it’s a lot harder to make it into the UFC so I knew the guys on our team were all UFC caliber fighters so I knew we’d have an advantage over them.”
