Giga Chikadze vs. Cub Swanson didn’t last long.
The two fighters met in a bout on Saturday night (May 1, 2021) at the UFC Vegas 25 event from Las Vegas, Nevada at the UFC Apex facility.
Chikadze landed a kick to the liver of Swanson and folded Cub then swarmed him on the ground with strikes. He calls it the Gigakick. A very impressive win for this prospect over a tough vet.
Peep the highlights of the fight courtesy of the UFC’s official Twitter account:
Chikadze was on a seve-fight winning streak heading into this bout including decision wins over Irwin Rivera and Omar Morales. His previous fight saw him beat Jamey Simmons by TKO in November 2020.
