LOS ANGELES -- The mixed martial arts world reacted with a mixture of joy and awe over Jose Aldo’s electrifying victory against Jeremy Stephens last week at UFC on FOX 30 in Calgary.
Count Cub Swanson as a fighter who enjoyed the moment just as much as the fans. But unlike the rest of those who watched bout, Swanson also sees a potential opportunity out of Aldo’s victory.
One of the worst moments of the popular veteran featherweight’s career was an eight-second knockout loss to Aldo via flying knee in a 2009 WEC bout.
