No idea how Swanson will fight with an early lead. Not a regular occurrence for him.

Swanson was quite wobbly there. Might wanna stop playing with fire.

There is an audible difference when Stephens lands compared to when Swanson does.

Body kick almost folds Stephens. So Swanson attacks the head. Right? Right.

Wheel kick from Cub. And seeing Dana just tweeted Stephens may have broke his hand. 29-28, Swanson

When asked by Anik what he wants next, Swanson says, “I don’t beg.”
