After a thrilling first round that got him close to a finish, Cub Swanson managed to get the job done in the second round of the featured UFC 256 prelim. After a few striking exchanges, the WEC vet landed a perfect hand on Daniel Pineda’s chin than sent him out cold to the canvas. On Twitter, pro fighters praised his performance.
I remember Pineda fighting for the legacy title back in the day! So happy he has this fight with Cuba! Lets go!! #HoustonMMA #UFC
