Prediction: correct Swanson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

A "source" told me this morning this was a rumored main event for April but not to put it out on Twitter. We didn't want to believe it. Wow.

This is a mindbogglingly stupid matchup, and making it the main event is 10x stupider.

Lobov only deserves pre prelim status.

The UFC definitely did this to try and win the heart of McGregor back. There's no other way.

I can only assume this is happening because McGregor insisted they give his boy a big fight. 

Be careful what you ask for. Lobov will almost certainly get embarrassed by Cub.

This might be the dumbest fight to ever be booked ever. If Swanson/Lobov fought 1,000 times, Lobov would win precisely zero of them. This is dumb as ****, and a complete waste of time for Cub Swanson. And completely disrespectful to him. **** riiiiight off with this one.

Prediction: wrong Lobov   wrong Decision  


This matchup makes so little sense, that I'm hoping Lobov scores an upset, just so he can **** up the title picture. 

Think about this for a second, if Aldo and Frankie win their fights, who's gonna get the title shot? Wouldn't be Lamas, since he hasn't done much recently, it would be the guy who's on a win streak and just got a big win over Cub, Artem Lobov. Seeing a 15-12 guy fight Aldo for the FW title would be the most hilarious, probably one-sided fight in the world.

I doubt a win over Cub gets him a title shot. While it would be a big win for him he hasn't beat anyone of note.
