In true 'Heisenberg' style, referring to the character from the acclaimed series 'Breaking Bad', Swanson revealed at the post-event press conference, which SUPER LUTAS covered live , that this may have been his last appearance in an MMA competition.
“I kind of told my wife that this would be the last one, so we’ll see. I’m kind of old, guys. I want to say I appreciate you guys letting a 40-year-old dad come and entertain you,” the veteran joked.
Cub Swanson surprised everyone in Saturday's fight. He landed a combination of a cross and a left straight that sent Billy Quarantillo to the canvas in the third round, after a fight full of twists and turns. (see below)
