UFC veteran Artem Lobov has mentally snapped from the weeks of pre-fight banter with former two division champion Paulie Malignaggi.

Later tonight, Malignaggi and Lobov will settle their differences in a bare knuckle fight in the main event of BKFC 6 in Florida.

Lobov wants to make Malignaggi pay for several of their altercations during media events.

During one altercation, Malignaggi slapped Lobov in the face at a media event.

And during another, Malignaggi actually spit in Lobov's face.

Lobov is convinced that Malignaggi is completely shot and his sole motivation to take this contest is a payday.

“Every time you have a fight, it’s like whatever. A fight is a fight, we’re both making money here, it’s all good but not this time,” Lobov said to MMAFighting. “This time I actually want to kill this guy. I swear to God. I’m a professional athlete and I want to get paid for my work so I’ll wait until June 22 and then I can finally let my hands go. I’m going to let justice be served.

“This guy is just a scumbag. He’s an actual lowlife. I don’t expect him to ever shut up even after I put him away because if you look in the past when Adrien Broner sparked him and f—ked his wife and all that he still doesn’t shut up. Nothing you do to this guy will ever make him realize what an ass—le he is.

“I really hope he can last. He said he was known as a durable guy in boxing so let’s see how long he can last in here. For me, the longer it lasts, the better. I can take time out of my day any time and slap him around the place. I hope he lasts long but I’m not sure.”
