UFC featherweight title contender Cub Swanson (20-5) has tonight sent a clear message to brash, ultra confident former Cage Warriors dual-weight champion and UFC newcomer Conor McGregor (13-2).
The Irishman has made no secret of his belief that he is ready to fight the best the featherweight division has to offer, has been warned by Swanson not to run before he can walk.
Speaking via Fighters Only Magazine, Swanson said:
“I like the kid, I really see a future for him in the UFC because he is talented. But he runs his mouth and you’ve got to be careful when you do that. I’m a fan of many fighters but as soon as they start looking at me, the fighter in me comes out and I’m like, ‘You better watch your damn mouth.’ That would be a fight that I would love to do once he makes a name for himself but right now he is still a nobody. If he lives up to the hype he can fight me down the road but for now he has to fight somebody in the top ten first.”
These words from Swanson who is currently riding a 5-fight unbeaten streak may now see the man from Dublin Ireland calling for a fight with him sooner rather then later.
