Fight Night bonuses he’s got down, but that whole nickname thing is still a work in progress for Cub Swanson.
The 28-year-old UFC featherweight laughed off the notion to go with “Cookie Monster” after posing for pictures with the “Sesame Street” character during a celebratory trip to New York after his UFC on FX 4 victory over Ross Pearson this past weekend.
“I was very close to having the announcer announce me as ‘Killer Cub,’ but never got around to talking to him about it,” said Swanson on Monday’s edition of MMAjunkie.com Radio.
