Shane Burgos acknowledges Cub Swanson’s wealth of experience and violent skill-set, but he refuses to build him up beyond that.
Burgos will undoubtedly face his most famous adversary in Swanson at UFC Ottawa on Saturday, May 4. Burgos (11-1) told media in Ottawa on Thursday that Swanson (25-10) is only human.
“It is the biggest name, that’s a fact,” he said of Swanson’s status. “At the end of the day, I’m not going to treat it any differently. He’s just another man. He bleeds blood just like me. I’m not going to treat him like he’s this God.
