UFC featherweight Cub Swanson has hit the roughest patch to date in 14 years as a professional MMA fighter. At 34, Swanson (25-10 MMA, 10-6 UFC) currently finds himself in the middle of the first three-fight losing streak of his career after being dropped and then submitted in the first round by Renato Moicano (13-1-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) this past Saturday night at UFC 227. Granted, Swanson’s skid is to top competition at 145 pounds in Brian Ortega, Frankie Edgar and now Moicano, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of. But it’s still uncharted territory, which raises questions about his future. Related Sean Shelby's Shoes: What's next for Demetrious Johnson, Cody Garbrandt, UFC 227's other losing fighters?
