He's likely to never win a title, but Cub has been an absolute savage since the WEC days. One of the most fun fighters to watch ever!

First of all I do agree with everything in your comment. But should cub beat chikadze this saturday he's on a 3 win streak and in a good spot, maybe 2-3 wins from a shot. I'll def say it's unlikely, but if someone can do it it's KIller Cub!

There is a really good documentary about that fight on KZread that has both fighters talk through the fight and their thought/emotions during. It's such an incredible fight.

Honestly how can you dislike cub he’s a true vet, always in the making of a classic fight with him on the card .
This is so good, we need more of this, especially from retired fighters.
Cub is a guy that you’re kids could look up too and u know its a good choice for them. “Let’s go Cub”
Cub's status and respect in the sport is on the same level as the Diaz brothers. They give it their all in the octagon and true fans love them no matter what.
Cub had me teary eyed after that win against Pineda, his interview with Joe was emotional and it was contagious.

Cub is just one of those warriors that hits you with that emotion... we have seen his ups.. and downs... but he always comes back... what a fighter man. Respect.
Cub is so underappreciated an absolute killer and a good dude!
*No one:* *Dustin's Trash Talk: You're ugly*
I was newish to mma 7 years ago and the only fight I had seen cub at the point in was him getting choked out by holloway. Little did I know the war he would put on when him and Choi got in there. I was backing Choi but I became a fan that day and have rewatched all his fights. Cub is a fucking legend and always comes to bang.
I really like these career retrospectives. Espacially with Cub, man what a career!
He’s a legend. Have loved watching him over the years
Cub has always been one of my favorite fighters. Never count him out.
Holy shit in the octagon he looks like a mean m’f but talking and going over his fights..seems like a down to earth guy.

Very down to earth ! Met this man at the Honda center in Anaheim at UFC 241 one of my favorite fighters hands down !!
Cub Swanson is a great fighter that has the respect of all the hardcore fans and the fighters in his weight class alike! Thank you Cub Swanson for your amazing career!
His fight with Choi was amazing. One of the best that year by far. Cub is a veteran and I am so glad he is still going. Awesome that he was able to get the finish in his most recent bout.
Cub is a legend, love his fights, but I like Giga a lot too. This is going to be an awesome fight, good luck to both men.
Cub Swanson, you’re a class act! You were one of the first fighters l took note of and became a favorite of mine when l first got into MMA! I send you my sincerest respect and best wishes!
Respect from Poland, good luck for you👌💪🇵🇱
Cub was such a happy looking dude in high-school im glad to see him doing good. Tim bradly also went to cchs at the same.
He may not have a title but I always tune in when he’s fighting
Cub is real G one of fav fighter always classy but true warrior in the cage! 🐻🌴
Another OG that you can never disrespect he’s just such a fantastic person and a warrior in the cage, when ever he gets emotional it’s almost a guarantee that imma tear up with him, thank you for being you Cub 🙌🏻

There is a reason Cub is a fan favorite, and this video does a great job showcasing that, as well as his words. It is too bad to see him lose last night, but without making it to the top, he cemented his legacy in a division of killers.

MORE OF THESE UFC!!!!! Especially with fighyers like this, Cubs a legend amd has had some of the most amazing fights, we dont always need every single thing to just be about champions or the main event. Were fans of the sport. If you cant agree with me on this, you're wrong.
Please do more of such videos. Inspirational to see legends look back at the defining fights in their career.
One of the best UFC videos I have ever seen!
Just love Cub! Makes this weekends fights more exciting.
Mad respect for Cub! Hope he does his thing in the octagon tomorrow. 💯
Swanson is a bmf contender for sure, always brings it, fights everyone anytime, finisher, been fighting since the early days.
Always liked cub. Especially the creative striking he throws.Never quite got to the top,but has been in there with everyone .A true Veteran, that made it the hard way
Cub you are a Legend I was very pleased to watch this ! Been watching you since the WEC days brother! You've only gotten better and have always been an absolute worrier !! Much love and respect
Most underrated fun scrappy fighter in the ufc . Absolute legend . Your favorite fighters favorite fighter . Cub is in my top 5 of favorite fighters ever.
He was one of my favourite fighters when I started watching UFC, it felt like he had it all. Still one of my favourites. Thank you Cub 🙏🏼
Cub, brotha...nothing but love from this guy man. You bring excitement to every fight win or lose and I will forever be a fan. A lot of names get thrown around these days...Cub Swanson will always be a name I remember.

so underrated fighter. Huge love and respect for him.
Cubs gotta be the definiton of a gentle giant. Such a warrior.
I love watching Cub fight. His striking is so fluid, he's super creative, and he's very well rounded despite getting subbed so much.
Cub's always been my favourite fighter, it's up and down but he's never boring and could beat any fighter in the division on his best night.
Gotta love this dude! A walking legend.
I love this guy... one of my all time favorites. I was there live for the Toronto Charles Olivera TKO

Cub is such a creative striker. Fun to watch!
Absolute fucking legend of the sport man. Love this guy
I respect warriors like this , good luck in next fight!
Can't ever go wrong rooting for Cub. The guy went from getting knee'd by Aldo, to destroying opponents in the UFC. When he dismantled Choi, I knew that Cub wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. The guy is a warrior and shows that he can adapt and learn to be a better fighter. Has never been KO'd ever in his career.
Legend ! One of the most exiting fighters in ufc history period
Been a fan for long time.
Dude, cub is such a savage I absolutely love that guy!!
Cub is one of my favorites!
such a calm great man he seems
Top 3 favorite fighter of mine!!! Absolutely savagely creative
Cub is an exciting fighter for sure!
