Things didn’t go how [autotag]Cub Swanson[/autotag] hoped in his bantamweight debut at UFC Fight Night 212. While still seemingly upbeat, he is undecided about where his most recent loss leaves him.
On Monday, Swanson (28-13 MMA, 18-12 UFC) opened up about the loss for the first time in an Instagram post in which he congratulated opponent Jonathan Martinez (17-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) for his second-round TKO win by leg kicks.
“Congrats to @martinez3jonathan on the Big ‘W’ on Saturday,” Swanson wrote. “No excuses I felt great at 135 but Martinez came to scrap 🙂 I plan on spending some time with my family and take my time before deciding my next move I appreciate everyone who supports me on this crazy journey.”
