Here's what Fraser Coffeen said before the fight:

This is the second UFC Featherweight fight for Ross "The Real Deal" Pearson (13-5; 5-2 UFC). The Brit is 1-0 in the UFC at 145 pounds, having defeated Junior Assuncao at UFC 141. Prior to that, Pearson had quietly put together a very solid UFC record at Lightweight, starting with a win on The Ultimate Fighter and following that up with wins over tough veterans in Aaron Riley, Dennis Siver, and Spencer Fisher. Despite his success, he was getting lost in the shuffle at Lightweight, and I think a move down to the more open Featherweight division could do wonders for his career. He's facing Greg Jackson trainee Cub Swanson (16-5; 1-1 UFC). A Featherweight veteran, Swanson is playing much the same role here as he did in the WEC - low level gatekeeper. Swanson comes in off one of the biggest wins of his career, a KO over George Roop, and looks to have his first 2 fight win streak since 2008 with an upset here. This is mainly a showcase for Pearson, but that's OK by me, as I am excited by his run at Featherweight.
