Paulie Malignaggi vs. Artem Lobov breakdown: What to expect from BKFC 6 headliner

Bare Knuckle FC 6 takes place Saturday night at the Floria State Fairgrounds Expo Hall in Tampa, with one of the most highly anticipated fights of the year in all of combat sports.

In the main event, a red-hot feud finally will be settled as former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi takes on former UFC fighter Artem Lobov. These two men hate each other, stemming from Malignaggi’s stint as a Conor McGregor training partner ahead of “The Money Fight” with Floyd Mayweather. McGregor and Malignaggi had a highly publicized falling out during camp, which has led to this bare-knuckle showdown with McGregor’s good friend Lobov.

The emotions are sure to be high inside the ring, so what should we expect? The MMA Junkie Radio crew of “Gorgeous” George, “Goze” and Dan Tom break it down and make their picks.

You can watch in the video above.
