Cub Swanson and Kron Gracie engaged in predominantly standup fighting across three rounds in the UFC Tampa co-main event. Swanson was successful at using his footwork to stick and move, and assaulted Gracie with a varied attack to both the body and head. Despite getting outclassed on the feet, Kron continued to move forward and throw his own punches, but they weren’t nearly as substantial as those launched by Cub. By the end of 15-minutes, both men were bloodied up, with neither man backing. It was the volume of Swanson that allowed him to runaway with the scorecards, breaking up a four-fight slump.
