Cub Swanson and Doo Ho Choi engaged in a Fight of the Year contender at UFC 206, with the veteran featherweight Swanson taking a hard-fought decision over “The Korean Superboy.” Swanson poured on the punishment in round 3, nearly finishing Choi on multiple occasions, but the fight astonishingly lasted the full 15 minutes.

“I knew I was doing a lot of damage and I wish his corner would have thrown in the towel,” Swanson said.
