LAS VEGAS – First up for UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo is Chan Sung Jung , though Anthony Pettis and Ricardo Lamas , as well as UFC 162 winners Frankie Edgar and Cub Swanson , are also queued up behind “The Korean Zombie.” And if you want the latter to get the next title shot, he’s imploring you to speak up. Swanson, a former WEC fighter whose career had been plagued with hand injuries, kicked off Saturday’s UFC 162 pay-per-view main card in impressive fashion. After surviving Dennis Siver ‘s early attacks, Swanson stormed back for a third-round TKO victory that earned him a $50,000 “Fight of the Night” bonus. Swanson (20-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC), who was ranked No. 5 and defeated No. 8 Siver (21-9 MMA, 10-6 UFC) in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA featherweight rankings , has now won five consecutive UFC fights.
