Cub Swanson called out for ‘acting like an idiot’ and talking smack from the corner

Cub Swanson picked up a big stoppage win over Darren Elkins at UFC Vegas 45 in December, putting him back to winning ways following a first round TKO loss to Giga Chikadze. However, Swanson is now being dragged for some supposed actions he took during a more recent appearance around the Octagon.

At last week’s UFC Vegas 56 Swanson cornered Daniel Argueta, who came in as a short notice replacement to fight Damon Jackson. Argueta lost the fight by unanimous decision. The victor is now calling Swanson out for his behaviour during the fight.

“It is very unsportsmanlike by a coach to talk to the other fighter,” Jackson said to BJPENNs Cole Shelton.
