A look at the cold, hard numbers that appear in Artem Lobov ’s pro MMA record might not paint the most encouraging picture. But when it comes to this sport, there’s a lot that numbers alone won’t tell you. And as he reflects on a career that involved almost 30 MMA bouts – in cages spread over eight different countries – Lobov said there’s certainly a worthy story being told. “My record, for example, it represents a tough road,” Lobov told MMAjunkie Radio. “It represents a guy that was willing to fight when no one else would. When you ask to go to some other country and fight their local best guy, and you know the judges are going to be his friend and the referee is going to be his coach, the head of commission guys is probably going to be his relative or something like that, and you’re asked to do that for 100 Euros
