Artem Lobov Says He Takes No Moral Victory From His Loss to Cub Swanson at UFC Fight Night 108

Ariel Helwani recently interviewed UFC fighter Artem Lobov on The MMA Hour following Lobov’s loss to Cub Swanson in the main event of UFC Fight Night 108. Below are some highlights from the interview.

Lobov on the loss: “I lost, so I don’t really see it probably that way. To me, I was going into the fight to try and win, obviously. That’s why I called for the fight. And I generally thought that I could win. Obviously I didn’t, so I’m still trying to get over that.”

Lobov on if he feels a moral victory: “No. Never. I would never look at any fight like that. To me, if I’m going in, I’m going in to win. If you don’t win, well that’s it. Obviously, I’m not gonna dwell on it. I’m not gonna cry about it. I’m a learner and I’m a go-getter. I have to look over the mistakes, I have the fix them and I’m gonna keep moving forward. And hopefully one day I’ll meet Cub again.”

Lobov on a possible fight with Doo Ho Choi: “I mean, why not? He was one of the guys that I called out originally. It was either him or Cub. Now we both lost to Cub, the two of us both went the distance, the two of us both got the Fight of the Night, so why not? It makes sense, no?”
