Some interesting names, and characters, in there.

All 32 fighters for the 22nd edition of The Ultimate Fighter were revealed last night. The UFC confirmed the contestants for Conor McGregor's Team Europe and the Team USA selection that will be coached by Urijah Faber. Irish MMA fans will be delighted to read Artem Lobov, who fights out of John Kavanagh's Straight Blast Gym, is on McGregor's team. https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/638584042804252672 Lobov (11-10-1) was born and raised in Russia and spent a couple of years, with his family, in Argentina before settling in Ireland almost a decade ago. The 28-year-old is McGregor's main sparring partner. There are three Germans and three Swedes in McGregor's 16-man team, as well as two English fighters - Saul Rogers (10-1), and Sean Carter (10-1). McGregor's SBG stable-mate Cathal Pendred was delighted with the official announcement. https://twitter.com/Pendred/status/638474454906105860
