CUB SWANSON VS. SHANE BURGOS
Following three losses in a row, Cub Swanson knows he’s in a do-or-die situation going into his next fight against upstart featherweight contender Shane Burgos. Now Swanson has only fallen to elite fighters at 145 pounds, including former title challengers Brian Ortega and Frankie Edgar. Still, Swanson doesn’t want to look at his record and have four consecutive losses staring back at him, no matter the circumstances. As for Burgos, the 28-year old featherweight has gone 4-1 thus far in his UFC career and he’s coming off a win over Kurt Holobaugh by submission in his last outing. Burgos has shown real potential when it comes to his skills inside the Octagon, but this will be his toughest test to date. Swanson may have suffered a few losses recently, but he remains one of the best featherweights in the sport and he’ll look to prove that against Burgos on the main card this Saturday night from Ottawa.
