After a war like Cub Swanson and Doo Ho Choi got into over the weekend at UFC 206 in Toronto, Canada, there was a great amount of respect earned for both opponents. The two athletes that left everything they had in the Octagon had gained a great amount of admiration for each other and from fans around the world.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement of the judge’s unanimous decision in favor of Swanson, the JacksonWink MMA fighter said in his post-fight Octagon interview<\/a> that Choi lit a fire when he called him out to fight.<\/p>\n

“I knew what he brought to the table,” Swanson told Joe Rogan in the Octagon. “I know he deserved all the hype and he just made a mistake in calling me out single-handedly, just called me out and it made me feel like he thinks I don’t got it no more and that made me question myself and train really hard. I wanted to come out and prove to everybody that I’m still learning man. I’m a student of the game.”<\/p>\n

Choi said in his post-fight Octagon interview after tasting defeat that he would train harder to ensure he never loses again. “The Korean Superboy” took to social media<\/a> where he and Swanson commented to each other on one of his posts.<\/p>\n

Showing respect for Choi, Swanson commented on “The Korean Superboy’s” post and said, “I believe you’ll do big things in this sport 👌🏽”<\/p>\n

Choi then replied to Swanson and said, “@cubswanson thanks cub swanson it was a great fight, and i’m your huge fan for a long time.”<\/p>\n

Swanson also posted his own shout out to Choi on social media and said, “He must be the SuperBoy cause I had evil intentions on a few of these and he took it like a champ. I got mad respect for him \ud83d\ude42 I still can’t believe that went down lol #killercub #ufc206”<\/p>\n
