UFC Fight Night 138 Moncton Results: Main Card Results and Video Highlights
UFC Fight Night 138 was the last event to take place before the UFC 230 pay-per-view. The fight night was victim to change, like many other fight cards this year. This time, however, the change was not due to the fact that there was an injury to either of the fighters in the leadup to the fight, but their actions instead.
The co-main event is the fight in question, with Zubaira Tukhugov's involvement in the post-main event brawl, where he exchanged blows with Conor McGregor, seeing him removed from the fight card for UFC Fight Night 138.
As a result, Artem was left without an opponent for his fight, until Michael Johnson stepped up to fill the position. Johnson would go on to miss the weight by one pound, but Lobov accepted the fight anyway, and even volunteering to return the 20% of the purse of Johnson's that he was set to be handed after the fight.
The main event saw Volkan Oezdemir take on Anthony Smith, a competition that was very well matched between the two fighters. With Oezdemir's mystic having faded somewhat after his loss to Daniel Cormier, he looked to continue on and gain momentum from the fight.
