Cub Swanson will attempt to climb back into the win column this Saturday when he meets featherweight contender Renato Moicano at UFC 227.
The matchup serves as a pivotal crossroads for Swanson, a longtime 145-pound standout who has dropped back-to-back fights against Brian Ortega and Frankie Edgar. At 34 years old, Swanson could find himself on the outside of contention looking in if he drops a third straight bout at UFC 227. But after competing at the highest levels of the game for over 11 years in the WEC and UFC without securing an ever-elusive title shot, Swanson’s aim for the last stretch of his career is simple.
