The veteran got it done against the rising Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace prospect. In an entertaining striking fight, Cub Swanson outpointed Kron Gracie throughout all three rounds to pick up a unanimous decision win at UFC Tampa. On Twitter, pro fighters enjoyed the fight.
Good test for Kron here. #UFCTampa

I wondered how cub can be an underdog with all his high level experience

I’m watching Cub vs Gracie now. I love “mixed” martial arts. I love watching people with different styles compete against each other. It seems old school! This is what MMA is all about. #ufc #mma
