A bout sure to have impact on the UFC featherweight contendership picture has been booked for the organization?s upcoming visit to Toronto, as promotional officials have confirmed Cub Swanson is set for a showdown with Charles Oliveira at the September 22 show. Swanson and Oliveira have both won their last two bouts with each instance of success involving sensational stoppage.
Swanson-Oliveira join a UFC 152 lineup already featuring fights between Michael Bisping-Brian Stann, Rory MacDonald-BJ Penn, and Demetrious Johnson-Joseph Benavidez (the latter of which is for the company?s inaugural flyweight championship).
The 17-5 Swanson?s recent run of success involved TKOs of George Roop and Ross Pearson. The victories brought his total tally of finishes to thirteen with seven of the stoppages involving a submission.

Oliveira, a 22-year old Brazilian who has yet to be beaten at 145 pounds, is also no stranger to ending his adversary?s evening before scorecards come into play. His previous two pairings resulted in submission wins, including one over TUF 12 winner Jonathan Brookins, and he?s only gone the distance a single time in his career.
