This might be the final fight of Cub Swanson's career

[blaseblase]

He's 41 which is ancient for featherweight. I think he retires if he loses on Saturday. He's talked about it before. He deserves an official sendoff from the UFC imo.

Main card at 10pm.

Cub is 41 ?? Wow, mad respect.

 

[Thesnake101]

Thankfully Billy has been looked washed up himself and was never a very fast guy, think it's very winnable for Cub. If he hangs up the gloves then at least he can go out on a win.

Cub has matured a lot over the years. Despite still fighting he's also proven himself a decent coach too. He's one of the last WEC guys still plying their trade in the UFC. If this is his last ride, hopefully he goes out on a win.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

What a legend. So many great fights.

If true then God bless and hespect.

 

[mmacool]

He's one of the greatest.

 

[VinceArch]

War Cub!

 

[LiQuiD42]

Damn. Respect to Cub.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Wow, surprised to hear Cub is still fighting, his feud against Lil Eagle back in the WEC is one of my favorite MMA storylines

Homie has 14... yes 14 Fight of the Night awards... Just Bleed Cub Bless

I really like what he’s doing as a coach. Hoping he gets the win this weekend

 

[VAfan]

yeah, that's super old for the little guys. and cub hasn't really been fast enough for years now.

Is he the guy to go out on a win though? Unless it is a very good fight.
Which this certainly will be. (mods delete this post! Brainfart.)

The fact him and Aldo are still swinging is incredible. Not many people gave the idea of longevity to the super light weight classes, Cub and Jose prove that theory wrong.

Some of it is probably from excelling at the basics!
Training very hard at that instead of adding to much flair like jumping knee ko's and stuff.
Well you get my point. Keeping it down to the basics at old age and being very good at that.

Can't leave Guida out of that convo imo. Hasn't had the success of Aldo but 21 years in he's still going. Crazy for those lower weights.

Huge respect to Cub. As a 43 year old myself, I can all but guarantee shit's harder for him now than it used to be, but he's still grinding.

Damn, one of the last WEC guys around. I told my gf at the time that I had the flu so I could be left alone and watch Aldo knee Swan do death. Good memories.

I have made a lot of excuses to my gf's to watch the ufc instead!

Solid journeyman, never ever any controversy around him, seems like a caring husband and father from what I've seen.

Great guy, never meddum.
