In just a few hours, ‘The Russian Hammer’ Artem Lobov has the chance to catapult himself up the featherweight rankings when he faces perennial 145-pound contender Cub Swanson in the main event of UFC Fight Night Nashville.

See below for Joe Rogan’s preview of the clash between the two featherweight sluggers.
