Cub Swanson has heard about Jose Aldo ’s interest in fighting him. And he feels some type of way about the timing of it. Nearly two months after a title-costing TKO loss to Max Holloway at UFC 212, former featherweight champ Aldo (26-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) said he would like an octagon return before November – and that, as far as targets go, Swanson (25-7 MMA, 10-3 UFC) would fit the bill . The meeting, of course, would be a rematch – their first bout, which took place over eight years at WEC 41, ended in less than 10 seconds thanks to Aldo’s perfectly-placed knees. Now, Aldo’s the one coming off a loss. And Swanson is riding a four-fight streak – including two “Fight of the Night” battles – since his own loss to Holloway and has been making the case for his first UFC title shot
