Well now, let me tell you somethin’ about them two fighters, Chris Avila and Artem Lobov. Now, they ain’t the first ones ya think of when it comes to big names in UFC, but boy, they sure had their time in the spotlight back at UFC 202. It was quite a sight, I tell ya. Both of ‘em were part of a bigger show that had folks talkin’, and, let me tell you, not all of it was about their fightin’ skills either!
Now, Chris Avila, he’s a tough feller, don’t get me wrong. Ain’t no slouch in the ring. But Artem Lobov, he’s been around for a while too. He’s that one with the quick hands and a bit of a temper, always gettin’ into some kind of scrap. It’s like one of them young bulls that don’t know when to quit. They both had their moment to shine, especially when they squared off in that cage.
Before UFC 202 even kicked off, there was all this chatter about Artem Lobov. You see, there was some stuff goin’ on with Conor McGregor, Lobov’s teammate. McGregor, well, he’s got a big mouth, always talkin’ about somebody or somethin’. And he’s been runnin’ his mouth about Artem Lobov too, sayin’ all kinds of things about his ability and his place in the sport. But ya know, that ain’t nothin’ new for McGregor. He’s always got a bone to pick with someone.

But this here fight between Avila and Lobov was somethin’ else. It wasn’t just about throwin’ punches and kickin’ each other’s butts, no sir. There was some real bad blood, some tension in the air. You could tell from the press conference before the big fight that these two weren’t exactly best pals. Chris Avila, well, he was ready to go, but Lobov had a bit of that cocky attitude, the kind that gets folks riled up, ya know?
Now, when the fight finally went down, it wasn’t exactly what folks were hopin’ for. Artem Lobov ended up beatin’ Chris Avila, and it wasn’t even close. The judges gave him the win with a unanimous decision—30-27 across the board. That means all three judges thought Lobov had the better of it. Some folks said Avila looked a little out of his depth, but that’s how the game goes. Ya win some, ya lose some, and Chris, well, he learned that the hard way that day.
But you gotta respect ’em both. They trained hard, and they got in there to do their job. It’s easy to sit back and talk about how the fight went down, but it’s somethin’ else when you’re in that cage. Artem Lobov might’ve won that day, but he didn’t come out of it without a scratch. Both of ’em left a bit of themselves in that ring.
And let me tell ya, UFC fans, they ain’t forgettin’ this one anytime soon. Lobov and Avila might not have been the main event at UFC 202, but their fight still stuck with people. It showed what kinda grit these fighters got, and how quick things can change in that octagon. Whether you like ‘em or not, you gotta respect the effort they put in.
So there ya go, that’s the lowdown on Chris Avila versus Artem Lobov. Not all fights are about big knockouts or flashy moves. Sometimes it’s about who can keep their head and stay strong when the pressure’s on. And that’s somethin’ both of these fighters got in spades.
