July 7, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Alex Caceres said that Artem Lobov tried to apologize to him for participating in a bus attack with Conor McGregor before UFC 223, which resulted in their fight getting cancelled. Here are highlights:

On the bus attack: “I did (see him). He tried to apologize for what he did, but to me, No. 1, it’s unprofessional, and quite disrespectful to your opponent. You’ve got a fight, so you shouldn’t be running around trying to fight everyone else.”

On who he wants to fight next: “I don’t care who stands in front of me. I just really want to fight the best. People that have great records, people that are great. I just really want to test myself when I’m in there. Whoever stands in front of me is the one I want to fight.”

On his win at TUF 27: “I’m happy with the victory. Very critical of myself. … I did the best that I could. I was surprised that he took a lot of the damage he did. I wanted to stay a little more rangy, but my timing I thought was great.”
