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. https://twitter.com/CubSwanson/status/624229679839350788 It seems that Swanson has remained in this constant state of bitterness since January, when McGregor received a headline slot against Siver in Boston. https://twitter.com/CubSwanson/status/554802635308400640 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. https://twitter.com/CubSwanson/status/555091746107822081 Luckily, Swanson appears to have turned all those negative thoughts about that charismatic Irish man into something positive https://twitter.com/CubSwanson/status/624232886955196417 Good man Cub. Here's hoping we see you back inside the cage again soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B_8YuWLRbA
