Dude is a legend. Cub represents all the work he's done in his life every fight. Not all fighters have that in them. Real deal warrior. Respect!

@mitchellreece7086 3 жыл бұрын

Man is underrated if you ask me, his fights are literally always entertaining and he gives his all in the cage every time out. Thanks for all your performances Cub and for those still to come and good luck in your next one bro.

First of all I do agree with everything in your comment. But should cub beat chikadze this saturday he's on a 3 win streak and in a good spot, maybe 2-3 wins from a shot. I'll def say it's unlikely, but if someone can do it it's KIller Cub!

I was newish to mma 7 years ago and the only fight I had seen cub at the point in was him getting choked out by holloway. Little did I know the war he would put on when him and Choi got in there. I was backing Choi but I became a fan that day and have rewatched all his fights. Cub is a fucking legend and always comes to bang.

There is a reason Cub is a fan favorite, and this video does a great job showcasing that, as well as his words. It is too bad to see him lose last night, but without making it to the top, he cemented his legacy in a division of killers.
