this. I understand these guys are still only in their 40s and thats not old for non athletes but they can't be comparing their careers to non athletes. I really want him to retire.
When you've done something for so long its more about your identity and the love of competition more then anything else. Im sure he knows hes never getting a title shot or getting to the top 10 but Its hard to walk away from something you've done your whole life. If you think about it, late 30s-early 40s is where MOST people start their lives. As in establish their careers, young kids, etc.. Its only athletes that we consider old LOL. Im sure these fighters just get bored of being retired and want to compete. Only guy to really do it well is GSP. Khabib did it because his father passed and felt a void without him
He really should, wonderboy should have retired after the Holland fight. Bobby green should have retired after the Dawson fight. Jim miller should fight at UFC 400
Not worth risking it again at the age of 41. Take the W instead of caving to temptation. Guys at this level seldom get to walk away on their own terms.
I met Cub coming out of a restroom at a UFC event in Vegas (which was kinda awkward) and I was hoping he'd be cool if me and my son took a photo with him. He was BEYOND cool and so classy. The real deal inside and outside of the Octagon!
this man deserves more than a highlight package. legend of the sport and the FW division. shame he was never able to climb the summit but i think there’s something to be said about a career over a decade long in a sport where guys are lucky to not be chewed up and spit out in 2-3 years.
Didn't get to watch much of Cub fight. Seems like a very good person. Walking off on a high like this would be amazing to call it a career right there. All the best to this legend. What an impressive victory at his age
I’m pretty sure they had that video prepared to play while he was in the cage and it would have been a beautiful moment for him and the fans but he couldn’t decide if he was going to retire
it'd be a good one im really hoping they dont do Swanson-choi rematch doohochoi is 33 and looked better than ever in his last fight nd im scared it'd ruin either of these two (or both) if they ever had a rematch dont do it
If that was the ast fight of the career of one of my all-time favorite fighters, what a send-off. The only thing I want to see Cub do, if he doesn't retire now, is bulk up a little and retire Colby at Fight Week next year.
Ok so no strap or title fight, so what. He has done and has everything else that matters more. Family, love and respect of all that know him, legacy, and a great rep of the sport and humanity. Yeah he's rich because he knows what real wealth actually means. Thanks Cub for always giving max effort. Win or lose that is all we can ask from these warriors. Hate to see him go, but glad to hear he will be paying it forward.
Hope that was his last as it was THE perfect signoff! Vintage Cub. Also, did y'all SEE his Wife?!? Talk about an incentive to spend more time at home 😏👌 No wonder he has great cardio...
UFC always pushing older fighter's out of the sport. Soon as they start getting paid well its like... welp time for you to go. You dont move the needle anymore.
I’m a 28 year old man. I’ve been watching cub fight since I was in elementary school. He doesn’t owe fans anything. Just sail off dog. It’s been a pleasure. 🫡
retire on the glory, don't listen to the voice if it says "maybe one more" it doesn't end well for many veteran fighters
this. I understand these guys are still only in their 40s and thats not old for non athletes but they can't be comparing their careers to non athletes. I really want him to retire.
@@lordkira9791 yeah me too, i mean he still got it he can still knockout some pretty elite fighters but why not retire on top like lawler, gsp etc.

@@Tkenny35 love gets you hurt every time! Cub isnt even that good take what you got now because its not going to happen again!
Cub is the perfect name for a man that has fought his whole career like a lion.
Great fighter who gave his all thru out his entire career.
Save yourself, brother. End on a win, and end with glory.
Gotta love good ole Cub!!
Proud to have been able to call him my favorite fighter.
Cub is a goat. Will never forget his war with choi
Only fight left for him is Aldo
Thats a good idea actually
Seen it. UFC missed the boat on a WEC anniversary card a couple years back
That double flying knee aldo got cub with was insane. Ill never forget it. An 8 second fight lol. Rematch needed, run it back!
Walk away like lawler y’all will live on forever
Aldo or Doo Ho Choi rematch 🫡
Not worth risking it again at the age of 41. Take the W instead of caving to temptation. Guys at this level seldom get to walk away on their own terms.
retire on a high ! rather than a loss
Ufc need to give $100,000 bonus for brutal knockouts..
Cub looked like a smooth sleek panther in there tonight Let's Go Cub Swanson 💪
I'm honestly really surprised he KO'd Billy Q. This was very reminiscent of Lawler vs. Niko Price, but more of a war .
bro Billy was slow & awful
Just retire on a KO win.
He’s not as good as he once was, but he’s as good once as he ever was
Absolute fkn legend
Loved watching Cub fight ✊🏽
One of the greatest ever. Met him in Stockholm 2013, awesome guy!
My boy a legend 💪
Legendary Fighter
This dude is such an underrated legend of the game. Always incredibly fun high paced fights with super slick unorthodox striking for over a decade
Thank You Cub!!
What a great night of fights for MMA fans. Cub and Michael both getting KO victories warms my heart lol.
I met Cub coming out of a restroom at a UFC event in Vegas (which was kinda awkward) and I was hoping he'd be cool if me and my son took a photo with him. He was BEYOND cool and so classy. The real deal inside and outside of the Octagon!
Killer Cub's cubs definitely didn't go hungry. Well done Cub, on different fronts. 🤝
Always get excited for a cub fight on the fight card!!!
Go out on top Cub
Go out on top Cub. Been watching you since WEC. Always exciting.
Retiring right now is perfect for him. It wont get cleaner than that
The pace maker who sets the pace of the fight to his needs.
Can never forget his fight against Do Ho Choi.
Retire on the win, Cub 🙏🏽
Love you cub thanks for all the fights, whether you retire or not much support brother
Avoid following the footsteps of Tony, it’s the right time to retire with a performance like that, legend👍
What a legend
Cub had some pop, looked great in there. kid from Indio won over the Florida arena, crazy
Cub looks like he was on a skateboard listening to fleetwood mac tonight
Amazing performance from Cub
That was awesome. Cub is so fun to watch fight.
So happy for him!
this man deserves more than a highlight package. legend of the sport and the FW division. shame he was never able to climb the summit but i think there’s something to be said about a career over a decade long in a sport where guys are lucky to not be chewed up and spit out in 2-3 years.
Great win for Cub ❤
Didn't get to watch much of Cub fight. Seems like a very good person. Walking off on a high like this would be amazing to call it a career right there. All the best to this legend. What an impressive victory at his age
all time great and in legendary company career wise, Definitely deserves the Hall of Fame
He's 1 my favorite fighters, him,Cowboy,Edgars,pulvar & Uriah !
Better get him the bonus
Him vs Edson Barboza would be cool
Jose Aldo makes sense
Barboza would send him to retirement in a bodybag🎉
@@TimeToTravel-u2x barboza gets sent away in a bodybag most of the time there buddy
@@XxMDxxISxxFrAnTiCxX bro did you see what barboza did to billy Q?
@@XxMDxxISxxFrAnTiCxX lmao...another braindead nutsack commenting when he doesn't understand fighters skills and weaknesses 😂...
DONT RETIRE WE LOVE YOU!!!!
What a legend 🙏🥋💜
Cub Swanson always dangerous forever ♥️
Cub vs McG wouldve been great
Retire on a win Cub
A rematch with Jose Aldo would be a legendary send off fight
@joerogan please have Cub Swanson on the pod!💪🙌🇺🇸🙏👑💯🔥🎸
Screw it
Do one more
Make your retirement even bigger
Great story that he was the creator of! Well done Cub!
I’m pretty sure they had that video prepared to play while he was in the cage and it would have been a beautiful moment for him and the fans but he couldn’t decide if he was going to retire
Big up Mr swan.
If you see this Cub retire on a high note please that was meant to be that means u deserve to ride out into the sunset
Awesome fighter
Cub for the championship that would be amazing fight
Hey if Cub wants another give it to him!
DOO HO CHOI REMATCH! LETS GO UFC - They both just had spectacular performances back to back 👊
it'd be a good one
im really hoping they dont do Swanson-choi rematch
doohochoi is 33 and looked better than ever in his last fight nd im scared it'd ruin either of these two (or both) if they ever had a rematch
dont do it
Agreed. There's no need for that rematch.
This one was a great back and forth, the perfect way to end his fighting career.
remarch with old guy no way man if he get a next fight Jose Aldo is a good one
If that was the ast fight of the career of one of my all-time favorite fighters, what a send-off. The only thing I want to see Cub do, if he doesn't retire now, is bulk up a little and retire Colby at Fight Week next year.
Retire legend
Walk off Knockout. Let that be the end bro. Win the game of mma. 🙏🏽
give this man a title shot as his last fight
Ok so no strap or title fight, so what. He has done and has everything else that matters more. Family, love and respect of all that know him, legacy, and a great rep of the sport and humanity. Yeah he's rich because he knows what real wealth actually means. Thanks Cub for always giving max effort. Win or lose that is all we can ask from these warriors. Hate to see him go, but glad to hear he will be paying it forward.
Would love him and doo ho choi to run it back
Big cub man, real mf og
For ol time sakes just give him the title shot
Give Cub the Conner fight
Perfect way to end it, even though I selfishly want him to keep fighting. The Doo ho choi fight is a bad idea.
Id rather see Cub retire, but if he doesn't Swanson vs Nate the Train would be awesome.
Hope that was his last as it was THE perfect signoff! Vintage Cub. Also, did y'all SEE his Wife?!? Talk about an incentive to spend more time at home 😏👌 No wonder he has great cardio...
That was awesome. You took 300 of my profit cub, but i don't care 😂
Happy to be in the reality where 41 year old cub gave us that performance.
I knew Cub was going to win the fight
Please do retire. You have given us enough and deserve to go out on a KO win and healthy.
Swanson vs Aldo
class
karyn bryant tryna give flowers to cub swanson when she doesn't even know what she's talking about is insane to me...
Flours??
@@jking- I have an issue w/ youtube, the text is black on black
are they forcing him out?
Seem like it
Did the interviewer forget to take her retainer out? She has a lisp lol
He should retire after that walkout ko, go out feeling like the man
Lauro Sanko's fit is a miss tonight
💪🏼🇺🇸⚔️💪🏼🥋
Would love to see Cub get a crack at Illia and retire as champion!
Sandman at it again 😂
@@Otis-m6pI want what he’s on
UFC always pushing older fighter's out of the sport. Soon as they start getting paid well its like... welp time for you to go. You dont move the needle anymore.
Leave on top
☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What’s the deal with Laura’s jacket?
Shavkat bought dat jacket for her
I’m a 28 year old man. I’ve been watching cub fight since I was in elementary school. He doesn’t owe fans anything. Just sail off dog. It’s been a pleasure. 🫡
Resting heart rate 36? Cap. He'd be dead. Lmao. Still a bad ass.
Hakeem Dawodu should have been up there.
Please retire Legend!
Cub morphing into Dogface209
Cub in his cholo phase
bad production and journalism it wasn't entertaining
Bro looks like he’s about to ride off into the sunset on his skateboard with some ocean spray and Fleetwood Mac playing in the background
He looked like he could fight another 10 years in there
everyone wants Cub to retire on top right now AND everyone wants Cub to fight five more! ....MMA...AHHH!
