@Leo S Eight followers and three videos of other people’s work taken from your TV - you’re not even fit to lick Cub’s cup clean after a fight.
The flow state he got into against the Damage was insane!!! 🔥
Good for the UFC to honor this legend's legacy by including him in this kind of content He truly is a legend of the FW division and as a fighter who's on his way out, I'm glad we have these last participations on him while still active. 🙏🏼🔥
I love Cub I think of him with the fighters fighters. Cub, Bisping, Cowboy, Lawler, Jim Miller, Faber, Matt Brown, Frankie Edgar, All those guys with classic careers belt or no belt. There’s more people I could have mentioned
Been following Swansons career since the WEC days and man what a league it was!
Big respect to Cub for staying elite in decades
Cub is forever a FW legend, champion or not, he fought some big names in the 45 division
Cub was the first ever fighter I met in person! Such a great dude👊👊
Featherweight division is definitely the most stacked and exciting division right now. I’m calling an upset by KZ against Volk, stirring up and brining light to the division more this weekend!
I never saw that fight with Zombie. Aldo actually shot on him. Aldo would never shoot on guys in his younger days. That should tell you how tough and how dangerous KZ is on the feet.

Good on ya Cub. Much respect
Love 145...love cub...and probably 1 of my fav fights is cub vs ksb...
Cub is a fucking legend
Big love for Cub!!
Cub’s just a good dude: as a father, fighter, and role model.
good on ufc for doing this
Cubs a Legend ill never forget when he lost his fight with frankie second time I was wearing his Someone's Hero shirt luckily I was sitting right next to walkout path, I managed to grab his attention as he was walking back he looked up at me as he was upset from the loss and had a smile on his face for a moment ik that made his night win or lose cubs a legend
I rolled with Cub at my gym (Joe's Stevenson Cobra Kai) when Cub had a cast on his arm/hand from a break and he still tapped me. I've been wrestling and rolling since 1998 too. He is good.
One of my favourite fighters ever
Great video, UFC! 👍😁
ty for giving cub the spotlight... dudes an animal. and a vet
Dope video
Truth coming from Swanson, 145lbs is so exciting 🏆🔥🔥
Cub Swanson vs doo go Choi Is the best fight I’ve ever seen in featherweight
this is great
Yea, featherweights always bring the excitement. Cub still the mane.
i fucking love cub, make him host more pls
Legend great fighter cub is
Legend 💚
Cub one of the OGs
Cub Swanson is legendary i really want him to get another title shot before he retires
Light weight is probably the hardest division to break into the top 10 & top 5 but feather weight is very close and much more exciting!!! Cub is a true legend!!!
His fight with doo hoi choi is one of the best fights in the ufc imo
man i fucking love cub
My favourite fighter!
Cub is a savage much respect
This was cool.
A true Warrior
Those WEC commercials on Versus back in the day
Josh Emmett have some crazy power
the ufc is like the real life version of shonen anime man.
Gotta love 145lbs>>> Such a storied weight class.
what a badass division
Keep forgetting that Swanson beat Dustin and Charles Oliveira dudes a legend
Might be a hot take or even a controversial one for some imo, but I believe in terms of pure MMA talent, the men's featherweight division is the most stacked one in the UFC rn, with the men's bantamweight coming in at a close second. No division, and I mean absolutely none in the UFC has sooooo many killers in the same division at the same time waiting to dethrone the champ, with long time contenders like Holloway, TKZ and Ortega, long time prospects who just fell short of a title shot few times like Rodriguez and Kattar, and new title prospects who are on insane win streaks like Chikadze (technically was), Emmett, Allen and Mitchell, great fighters who are currently on the losing end or recently lost but competitively nonetheless and with a lot of potential like Ige, Burgos and Barboza, new fighters who have just made a mark in the rankings with a lot of potential like Topuria, Yusuff and Evloev and last but not the least unranked prospects on the rise like Pimblett and Yanez. There's no one on a very steep decline at all in featherweight (Barboza for some, but not by that much imo), bantamweight has Assuncao and Moraes, lightweight has Ferguson and welterweight has Thompson. This division imo is in it's 'Golden Age' and looking forward to it's future.
I would love to see Cub fight Aldo again.
How fast the game changed. In one moment we had prime's Aldo as a unbeatable fighter and now he was already beat for Connor, max, Volkanovski and even Moraes if I'm not wrong.
Thumbnail looks like a cartoon character burping really loud
I really wana see Swanson vs O'Malley Edit: before someone mentions that they are in different weight classes, Swanson mentioned maybe dropping down. even if he didn't end up going down, styles make fights and stylistically this fight would be fire. Do it at a catch weight if anything.
Still waiting on the return of Do"StealYoHo"Choi
All my homies love killer cub
The Killer Cub, what a good dude
🙏
KZ is the only guy Who exists person at top rank Since after amalgamate with WEC Until now He is a history
Best division 145 has always been consistent
Big Pog
Love cub he had a great performance last time. Worked the shit out of his last opponent but man where is Dooho choi
Guess who is the next champ?? Giga chikadze ladies and gentlemen
greatest division ever
Cub Swanson had a good last fight🙌💪
So true! I found a great Conor McGregor song recently, McGregor Irish Hooligan. Stick that into the search and you won’t regret it. Great laugh!
I LOVE U CUB!!!! UR SIMPLY ....IT...UR THE BOMB!!!! LOVE UR STILO!!!! HAHA....LOL
McGregor still waxes all their chins.
3:02 pause it right there, you can clearly see Aldo was very agitated and wants to take Conor's head off, exactly what Conor was looking for.
Unpopular opinion : Featherweight is the best division
Fighting this guy on pro with Jose Aldo in UFC 4 was probably one of the tougher fights and sets I put myself through. You'd think it'd probably be easy considering how the real fight went but nope. His head defense probably the main thing that makes him tough to deal with. It's easier if you grapple with him I think. But I just don't do it often I don't think.

Where did cub get his tattoos? Is he gang affiliated?
LIKE IF CHIMAEV WILL WIN!
No love for Arnold Allen
Aldo reigned till he sold out to mcfrauder.
Mcgregor was my favorite featherweight by far !! He proved aldo was way overhyped and once he made weight he came into the ring looking way way bigger than anyone else Still cant believe mcgregor was able to make 135 llbs so many times

Would Conor beat Aldo in a rematch if they ran it back during that time? Probably not. Aldo might not have the kind of straight punch Conor has but he throws pretty much everything else better. Then again Conor arguably didn't belong at Featherweight and might have been too big for that division to really feel anything thrown.

conor had him figured out. to a tee. there is a reason aldo wasnt willing to take the rematch when the offer came up. aldo was never gonna beat him. the movement, the setups, the power and the accuracy woulda been too much one way or the other.
@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu

@@knuckle-sandwichmma681 the fight lasted 18 seconds. I'm no expert but would any of that come into play? Conor just has a straight 2 it seems like along with a reach advantage. Something Aldo probably could have dealt with with his leg kicks. Movement? I could buy the size and power probably being too much but movement? Conor usually looks pretty hitable in competitive fights. Of course those are against non featherweights but at the same time Aldo is among the greatest featherweights.
