Twitter reacts to Cub over Lil Heathen

The main event of UFC Fight Night 44 featured a featherweight bout between Cub Swanson and Jeremy Stephens to determine the number one contender.

 Dana White @danawhite

•Here we go!!!! Been waiting for this fight!!!! @FOXSports1 Cub vs Jeremy!! I love this fight

•I’m pumped this is a 5 rounder too

 Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter

I can’t stop thinking about the time Dana tried to get Jeremy Stephens out of jail to fight. That was the best thing.

 James Krause @TheJamesKrause

Good choice in walk out music by @LiLHeathenMMA. Can’t go wrong with Mobb Deep.

 Luca FurysFightPicks @FurysFightPicks

Cub’s speed is too much for Stephens early. Let’s see if Jeremy can adjust.

 RJ Clifford @RJcliffordMMA

Cub Swanson may have my favorite guard game in the UFC. Sits up, threatens with guillotines/kimuras and takes no damage

 Brad Tavares @BradTavares

Razor close round, think id have to give it to Stevens, but could go cubs way just for having those sick shorts!

 Sarah Kaufman @mmasarah

Stevens made some good adjustments in rd 2 and pressured cub. Fight even but I think Stevens hurt something in that rd just don’t know what

 Dana White @danawhite

My guys in the truck are saying Jeremy broke his hand. We will see this next break

Those liver Kicks

 TJ Grant @TJ_Grant

Get a man hurt stay with body attack

Conspiracy theory: UFC broadcasts are designed to run late in order to force people to DVR “FOX Sports Live.” Also, aliens killed JFK.

•Greg Jackson for president in 2016. He would be great at calming everybody the fuck down during a crisis.

•He asked Greg Jackson if he should turn down for what, and Greg Jackson was like, “F— yeah. Find your waterfall.”

 Sarah Kaufman @mmasarah

I have cub up 3-1 but some close rds in there. No resting for cub in rd 5

 Chris Leben @cripplerufc

Holy fuck, that was one of the best fight ever!!! @LiLHeathenMMA awesome job

 Brad Tavares ‏@BradTavares

I literally applauded at the end of that fight, and mind you I’m at home watching the fights solo. That’s how good that fight was!

UFCONFOX ‏@UFCONFOX

I don’t know guys. That fight was close enough that maybe we should decide it with penalty kicks?

 Kenny Florian @kennyflorian

The judges got it right. @CubSwanson gets the win. Very technical & tactical fight from both guys.

Mike Bohn ‏@MikeBohnMMA

@CubSwanson’s seven UFC/WEC fight-night bonuses are tied with Urijah Faber for most of any fighter in 145-pound history.

Dave Doyle @davedoylemma

Statute of limitations has expired on Jose Aldo’s WEC knockout. Get Cub Swanson hit title shot.

 Damon Martin ‏@DamonMartin

Cub Swanson is next in line but I’m telling you if Chad Mendes beats Jose Aldo, I’ll bet he gets an automatic rematch

Megan Ogilvi @MeganOlivi: Cub says he doesn’t beg. But TLC wasn’t too proud to do it http://youtu.be/XmH4_pr6mH0

So long as he doesn’t go chasing waterfalls
