Kron Gracie had quite a bit to say about Cub Swanson ahead of their UFC Tampa fight. One of his critiques related to Swanson’s willingness to move from gym to gym in search of new training opportunities. Gracie viewed this as disloyalty.<\/p>\n

After he defeated Gracie by unanimous decision at UFC Tampa, Swanson responded to this comment. He explained why he moves around so much, and actually offered some advice to his vanquished foe.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest things he said that maybe I\u2019m not loyal,\u201d Swanson said (via\u00a0Bloody Elbow<\/a>). \u201cAnd in his day \u2013 which is old school \u2013 is you stick it out with somebody. But we\u2019re in an era where you\u2019ve got to learn what everyone knows. You\u2019ve got to be a student of the game. You\u2019ve got to travel. That\u2019s what a real samurai does.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy advice to him is travel. Go be humble,\u201d he added. \u201cGo out and get as good as possible. Train with everybody. You stick at one gym, you\u2019re not gonna grow. I feel like he was wrong in that aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his win over Gracie, a clean-sweep on the judges\u2019 scorecards, Swanson rebounds from a four-fight skid \u2014 consecutive losses to Brian Ortega, Frankie Edgar, Renato Moicano and Shane Burgos. The veteran, who has long stood out as one of the world\u2019s premier featherweights, is 26\u201311 overall.<\/p>\n

This loss to Swanson marks Gracie\u2019s first defeat as a professional mixed martial artist. Prior to this first taste of defeat, he won five straight fights, all by submission. His most notable wins came against veterans Alex Caceres in his UFC debut, and Tatsuya Kawajiri in the RIZIN Fighting Federation ring.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately,\u00a0he believes the judges got it wrong<\/a>\u00a0and that he deserved the win over Swanson.<\/p>\n

Do you think Gracie will heed this advice from Cub Swanson?<\/p>\n
