Gallery Cub Swanson def. Kron Gracie at UFC on ESPN+ 19: Best photos view 41 images Cub Swanson ’s UFC Tampa co-feature bout with Kron Gracie turned into a compelling throwdown. The veteran Swanson taught Gracie a thing or two about high-level striking in their featherweight fight at Amalie Arena on Saturday night, all while mostly avoiding Gracie’s world-class ground game. But Gracie, for his part, showed poise, toughness, and heart that seemed to give lie to the fact this was just his sixth pro MMA fight. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the duo earned “Fight of the Night” honors for UFC on ESPN+ 19, which means each competitor will pocket an extra $50,000. For Swanson (26-11 MMA, 11-7 UFC), who snapped a four-fight losing streak, this marked his eighth career postfight bonus.
