On Saturday night, on the pay-per-view portion of the action packed UFC 227 card in Los Angeles, California, long-time featherweight contender Cub Swanson attempted to rebound from back-to-back losses opposite rising Brazilian contender Renato Moicano.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Swanson and his loyal fans, this fight did not go as planned. Instead, the American fan favorite was tapped out by his adversary in the very first round.<\/p>\n
Now on a three-fight losing streak, Cub Swanson is in a rather precarious spot \u2014 something he seems to sense himself. Speaking in a brief, post-fight statement on social media, Cub Swanson admitted that this latest loss “stings.” That said, Swanson also assured he’d “be back,” and took the time to congratulate his foil Moicano.<\/p>\n

“Damn it stings,” Swanson said in his short but sweet post-fight Tweet. “But you can\u2019t win them all. Congrats to Cub Swanson’s next most recent losses came at the hands of Frankie Edgar<\/a>, who he gave up a decision to, and top featherweight contender Brian Ortega, who he was submitted by. His last victory occurred in April of 2017, when he defeated Conor McGregor<\/a> training partner Artem Lobov by decision. This win was preceded by a thrilling decision win in a Fight of the Year contender with Doo Ho Choi, and a pair of decision defeats of Tatsuya Kawajiri and Hacran Dias. Swanson is currently 25-10 overall.<\/p>\n What do you think the future holds for Cub Swanson after UFC 227?<\/p>\n@<\/s>moicanoufc<\/b><\/a> and his team on the win #<\/s>ufc227<\/b><\/a> I\u2019ll be back.”<\/p>\n
