The main event for UFC Fight Night 108 was an absolute slugfest.
Not once did Cub Swanson or his opponent, Conor McGregor teammate Artem Lobov, let up. They were both swinging for the fences.

It wasn’t necessarily a high-striking match, but what these guys lacked in quantity, they made up for in quality.
Swanson found openings where most fighters wouldn’t have found them. He landed a huge spinning elbow in round 4 and looked like he was going to have Lobov finished in round 3.
The Russian, however, powered through all of Swanson’s attacks and landed plenty of punches, kicks, and takedowns of his own.
But in the end, the judges thought Swanson did more, and they gave him the unanimous decision victory.
Winner by unanimous decision: Cub Swanson!
