Come on now Cub, it’s time to move on.
Poor Cub Swanson isn’t having the best time of it at the moment.
The UFC featherweight is coming off back-to-back losses inside the Octagon after being agonisingly close to a title shot. He had been riding a seven-fight win streak before being submitted by Frankie Edgar and Max Holloway, and breaking his jaw in the latter fight.
While Swanson slips back down the rankings, he has to watch his mortal enemy, the man who identified him as Hans Moleman’s exact doppelganger get a crack at Jose Aldo’s belt. This is something he is still extremely resentful of, as he made known on Twitter on Thursday.
Biter Yes, Jealous No

It seems that Swanson has remained in this constant state of bitterness since January, when McGregor received a headline slot against Siver in Boston.
I wish I got this much media push when I fought Dennis Siver or for the multiple #1 contender fights I had 😳

Swanson defeated Siver via third-round TKO at UFC 163 in 2013. However, rather than receiving a headline slot, the bout kicked off the main card proceedings for the event and received significantly less media coverage than the Boston fight.
Of course I'm bitter

Luckily, Swanson appears to have turned all those negative thoughts about that charismatic Irish man into something positive
Motivated to be in the gym today 🙂 thanks @Onnit for making it easy

Good man Cub. Here’s hoping we see you back inside the cage again soon.
