Cub Swanson looking for a return to 155lbs and a fight with Nate Diaz
 
I interviewed UFC stars Renan Barao and Cub Swanson yesterday and Cub spoke of his desire to fight Nate Diaz

A few words with... Renan Barao and Cub Swanson - MMA Ratings

swanson vs. nate would be a great fight, but when he was talking about moving weight classes. I assumed he wanted to go to BW..... Not sure moving up to LW would be the best move for him.

He is doing good at FW, why not stick there.

Probably not to happy with hoe the division has been run of late. Frankie jumped the line for a title shot and now Pettis is doing the same. Be almost a year from now before any of the current contenders at 145 get a title shot.

Nate would pick him apart in my opinion.

Given how the contenders across multiple weight classes must be feeling in the ufc at the moment, I wouldnt be suprised to find out thats a very common sentiment right now.

Cat posted a thread here where Cub says he walks around at 180 and so he's thinking of moving up to LW.

Considering Aldo may end up moving to 155 he should probably stick to 145.

Yeah he told me he was at 185lbs before he took the fight.
