No need to apologize man, fuck the people on here who are too lazy to do their own leg work. When dudes like you go the extra mile it's a real treat, so again, thanks.

He's being used as a stepping stone for a couple of guys by now.
 
Cub is gonna win this by TKO round 2 or 3. Gracie will come in forcing the takedown and gas himself, Cub will takeover and TKO him.
 
I'm sensing hate for Kron. Why? I understand people liking Cub but the hate for Kron is silly.

A really great interview with Cub from earlier leading up to his fight with Kron Gracie.

I'll do the cliff notes however this MMA Fighting channel forever have their interviewers really quiet so it's really hard to hear them though I'll try my best for people here.

It's a really good interview is this and he has such a fantastic attitude which I think you'll all appreciate.



1. Did the fight appeal to Cub cause of the Gracie name? - 0:00
2. The specific places where they refused to train Cub cause of the Gracie name - 1:02
3. Grappling preparation for this fight - 2:14
4. When fighting a specialist how to not be so consumed with him trying to get you down - 3:08
5. How does he feel about Kron using Cub to make a name for himself - 3:57
6. Does Cub enjoy being that position fighting these guys - 4:59
7. Where is his mental state heading into the fight after the losses - 5:40
8. How much steam does he have left as a fighter - 6:54
9. Does he see a realistic path to having a title fight - 7:43

Again, apologies if the questions written aren't exactly as they're asked, 95% of those interviewers you can barely hear give and take one or two though I think I've got the gist of it.

Enjoy :)

Hopefully, I wouldn't write Kron off however fingers crossed Cub gets this :)

I don't think people are hating Kron, he hasn't said some overly nice comments about Cub calling him a traitor and of course the problem with academies refusing to train him cause he's fighting a Gracie however I don't think people are hating on Kron really.

This is just an important fight for Cub so regardless of his opponent it would probably be the same sentiment :)

Not in this thread you aren't.

The closest to Kron hate is a white belt post #6, and it's more of a Gracie hate.

A few posts later another white belt said Cub Swanson is a boring fighter. Just to put "white belt posts" into perspective, heh.

Sherdoggers definitely seem to be taking sides on the whole topic of several Gracie gym's asking Cub not to train this camp with them, and Kron saying "well, ya, loyalty to a gym, that's how it works". And most are against Kron. Maybe that's what you're seeing. But even that isn't happening in this thread.

Edit: I've found another which they've uploaded from today just now and is really good also, again the interviewer is quiet but I'll try my best.

It's good how he talks about how a lot of people look up to him and he doesn't want to let them down.



1. Does it get easier or harder the cut over time - 0:00
2. Has he ever thought about moving up and avoiding the weight cut - 0:47
3. How old will his kids be when he finishes fighting - 1:22
4. What advice would you give your 20 year old self - 2:08
5. What does he mean by fun in regards to having more fun now - 2:55
6. Has the transition happened naturally - 4:21
7. Does he still have an interest in boxing - 5:12
8. Did he see Tyron Woodley call out Canello today - 6:19
9. What did he make of Kron's breathing exercise yesterday - 6:47
10. How he feels about open workouts - 7:23

Will cub become a lion in this match up?
