There are two sides to Cub Swanson.Those who live and operate in the fight game are prone to seeing the polite, somewhat shy featherweight taking pictures with fans, while the more commonly recognized version of the veteran is full-throttle intensity inside the cage.Swanson's all-in mentality has created the "Killer Cub" persona, and that's precisely who he plans to introduce to Doo Ho Choi.The rising Korean sensation called out Swanson as his next opponent, and the Palm Springs, California, native happily obliged. The two knockout artists will collide at UFC 206 on Dec. 10 in Toronto, and Swanson believes "Superboy" doesn't realize what he's brought to his doorstep.But he will."Of course Choi wants to test himself and fight the best of the best," Swanson said. "I can respect that. But that doesn't mean I won't get a little fired up when of all the top 15 he calls me out. He must think I don't have it anymore. That I've lost a step. Well let's see on fight week when he has to actually look me in my eyes...and he sees no fear or doubt...because I've already been fighting the best of the best. He'll realize then that he's fighting a killer."Following back-to-back losses that forced him to take a hard look at his career, Swanson has rediscovered his love for the scrap in 2016. The 32-year-old has notched two consecutive victories over tough competition, and his performances in those fights signals to Swanson being on top of his game once again.The South Korean has notched 13-straight victories inside the cage and has won all three of his showings under the UFC banner via first-round knockout. A potential win over the highly touted prospect would a significant cap on an impressive year for Swanson and put back on course to reclaim contender status.Don't miss breaking news, feature stories, event updates, and more.
