DHK and his coach being fans of cub Swanson.

Yes, he thought it was a easy fight, got his opponent pissed, got wrecked and did back that up by saying that.
 
He's stated it before in interviews and talked about how much he liked Cub's style. Only a complete asshat thinks that Cub is an easy fight.
 
Cub was his toughest fight yet and Choi acknowledged it.

In what world is Cub an easy fight for any FW, let alone one with 3 UFC fights?
 
Why would he make it up? He called him out for a reason, and that's because he saw Cub as a tough opponent and knew he beating him would elevate his status as a fighter
 
Nah, I believe that he's a fan. I actually kind of assumed that was part of the reason he picked him even before the fight happened.

I also think that's why McGregor wanted to fight Nate Diaz so bad.
