UFC Fight Night 44: Swanson vs. Stephens Post-Fight Video Wrap-Up

On Saturday, June 28, the UFC hosted UFC Fight Night 44: Swanson vs. Stephens from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.

In the night’s main event, hard-hitting featherweights Cub Swanson and Jeremy Stephens collided with a potential title shot on the line. Swanson entered the contest riding a five-fight winning streak that included four finishes via strikes. The 30-year-old had only tasted defeat once inside the Octagon since moving over from the WEC. Across the cage, the 28-year-old Stephens looked to continue his climb up the 145-pound ranks. After dropping three straight fights at lightweight, Stephens had reinvented himself at featherweight, scoring three straight wins.

The night’s co-main event featured The Ultimate Fighter 17 winner Kelvin Gastelum against Sweden’s Nicholas Musoke. Gastelum carried a perfect, 8-0 record into the contest, having won three straight inside the UFC. Musoke, meanwhile, had picked up two straight wins since joining the promotion in late 2013

The 11-fight event kicked off Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET with a lone fight streaming live on the promotion’s digital network, UFC Fight Pass. Four additional preliminary card fights followed on Fox Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET, with the six-fight main card beginning at 10 p.m. ET, also on Fox Sports 1.
