UFC 162 Review Cub Swanson vs Denis Siver

The main card started with a real fun fight for us fans. Siver, the kick boxer, against Swanson the brawler and BJJ tactician. The first round was dominated by Denis, hard leg kicks and quicker striking saw him take control of the stand up, he then followed that up by, surprisingly, controlling the fight on the ground. Siver's superior weight was taking its toll, he was noticeably larger than Cub and used it to his advantage keeping him on his back for the second half of the round. Cub was much better in the 2nd, getting inside Siver's range and using his unorthodox striking to back his opponent up. The 3rd round was all Cub. Siver who seemed gassed,  most likely from the weight cut, couldn't find an answer for what was being thrown his way and Cub pounced, cracking Siver  with vicious right, left combos, getting the TKO victory at 2:24 of the 3rd.
