UFC Fight Night 108 results: Cub Swanson takes intense unanimous decision over Artem Lobov

NASHVILLE – Unranked featherweight Artem Lobov proved he could hang in there with Cub Swanson, taking the No. 6 fighter’s best shots over five rounds.

Still, there was no doubt of Swanson’s (25-7 MMA, 10-3 UFC) superiority as the fight went the distance, with judges awarding him a unanimous decision over Lobov (13-13-1 MMA, 2-3 UFC).

The featherweight bout was the main event of today’s UFC Fight Night 108 event at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. It aired on FS1 following prelims on FS2 and UFC Fight Pass.

The final scores were 49-46 twice and 50-45 for Swanson, who called for the winner of a title unifier between Jose Aldo and Max Holloway at UFC 212, saying it was “about time” he got a shot at the belt with a 9-2 record in his past 11 outings.

More to come.
