@jlazowski14 I feel like Beckham has gotten so much better as a commentator. Wouldn’t hate if he’s the guy that replaces Stone when he decides to retire.
Tonight’s retirement is different.
When Cub Swanson makes the walk at UFC 327, the last active link between the WEC and the UFC disappears.
He’s the final carryover from the WEC merger; the promotion before the promotion that built the UFC’s bantamweight and featherweight divisions.
Aldo. Cruz. Faber. Pettis. Henderson. Poirier. And so many more. 🧬
The pipeline that brought them in has been winding down for well over a decade.
Tonight, it officially closes. 🔒
He was the final arrival from the WEC. He’s now the final departure. 🏁
@arielhelwani Do you think they stopped producing those trailer-esque fight announcements because they’d get leaked anyway? I think the Aldo-McGregor one or UFC 200 were my favorites
@NFLHitman33 Saleh’s call there completely threw them off it looked like & also Shanahan noticing the Bears looked scrambled and not using a timeout there was huge too
