Cub Swanson is set to take on fellow featherweight contender Frankie Edgar in what will most likely be a #1 Contender bout, and the winner will probably fight the champion, the winner of Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes.
Swanson has won 5 straight, most recently defeating Jeremy Stephens in a unanimous decision last June in the five-round main event of UFC Fight Night 44.
Edgar is currently on a 2 fight winning streak, most recently retired (for good) the future Hall of Famer and former champion B.J. Penn. He won via TKO in the third round, dominating the entire fight in the main event of the TUF 19 Finale earlier this month. Penn and Edgar were opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 19. His most recent loss came to current featherweight champion, Jose Aldo.
