Cub Swanson is serious about dropping from featherweight to bantamweight for his next fight. And if he does, then ‘Killer’ wants to meet a fellow veteran.
Fresh off of a first-round technical knockout of Darren Elkins at UFC Vegas 45, Swanson spoke at his post-fight press conference and hinted at the potential move. When asked about an ideal opponent, Swanson mentioned Urijah Faber, who has been recently mulling over a return to competition following his retirement.
Swanson and Faber were both well-known names under the now-defunct World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) banner, but never fought each other.
