Early Life

Swanson was born and raised mostly in Palm Springs, California with his four siblings. He had a Swedish-American father and a Mexican mother. Swanson's father died of cancer three months after he was born. His mother grieved heavily. A distant relative adopted Swanson and his siblings until his mother healed. The adoptive family was religious. So Swanson spent most of his early life in church. Swanson was also home-schooled for most of his young life. However, when Swanson was 14, his adoptive parents divorced. Swanson had to return to his mother. He then went to Cathedral City High School, along with future boxer Timothy Bradley.[6]

As a teenager, Swanson associated himself with local gangs. Swanson participated in many streets fights. The police arrested him and two of his friends for house robbery once. As a result, Swanson was placed in a juvenile detention center. At 17 years of age, he was released. Two years later, Swanson worked for United Cerebral Palsy. He helped children with social disabilities.[2]

Before transitioning into MMA, Swanson played football. He even thought of pursuing a career in football.

This was Swanson's sixth Fight of the Night bonus. He broke his hand for the 10th time in his career.[64] Tapology.com ranked Swanson vs. Lobov as the #17 Best MMA Fight of the Year for 2017.[10]

Countries where Cub Swanson has competed in

After his victory over Lobov, Swanson campaigned for a title shot. He claimed that "I think I deserve another shot, and I think it’s the most exciting fight you can make right now". Swanson said in another interview that "I’ve never been better than I am right now...I’ve never had the opportunity (to get a title shot), and I’ve been promised multiple times and had it taken away... All I’m asking for is the opportunity".[65] The new featherweight champion, Max Holloway, responded "Cub, I fought you; you can get it again ... This is The Blessed Era. Come and get it".[66] Swanson faces competition from Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung. Edgar made his case, stating "I don't see how he's (Swanson) in consideration ... I've fought nothing but top-ten, top-five guys. I don't think he's fought anyone in the top 10 and he's also lost a match (against Holloway) since then (UFC Fight Night 57)".[67] The "Korean Zombie" said "I'd like to fight Max Holloway... Outside of that, I don't really have a specific opponent in mind."[68] Dana White reported "We're looking at Frankie Edgar, " but gave no explanations as for why Edgar. Disappointed, Swanson complained "The fans know I'm the more exciting and the more deserving."[69]

Former champion Jose Aldo challenged Swanson, saying "Cub is well ranked, especially to be a challenge for me. Frankie (Edgar) will probably fight Max (Holloway), so we can fight and a new contender will emerge."[70][71][72] Swanson wrote on Twitter "I've been trying to fight Aldo for over 8 years and all of a sudden he wants to do it now."[73]

MMA Fighting style

Many MMA media outlets see Cub Swanson as one of the most entertaining fighters.[43] MMA junkie reported "Swanson's is as a man who will give you a gritty, exciting fight". Bloodyelbow.com comments "Cub's style tends to be wild, unpredictable, and very explosive". Swanson has 10 fight night bonuses for UFC/WEC featherweight bouts. This is the highest in combined divisional history.[74] MMAfighting.com calls Swanson "an exciting fighter".[75] MMA fans call Swanson's style as "Beautiful Destruction" [76][77]

"Killer Cub Swanson" is known for his creative striking. Tapology.com ranks Swanson as #109 Best MMA Striker of All Time. Many pundits cite Swanson's ducking roundhouse kick / cartwheel kick to the head as his best move.[78][76] Swanson often sets up with a left hook, then follow up with a ducking roundhouse kick to the head. This combination was used against Artem Lobov. In other cases, Swanson would throw a single ducking roundhouse kick with no set up, like in his fight with Ross Pearson and Doo Ho Choi.[77][79]

Swanson's movements is very unorthodox. He tends to feint while punching, as exemplified in WEC 52. Swanson often switches stance after kicking, something which he did against Dennis Siver. He also puts a lot of weight into his punches. Weight shifts gives him more power but shifts him off balance. This makes Swanson susceptible to take downs and counters.[80] Similarly, Swanson's stance switches make him vulnerable to leg kicks. Low kicks tend to distupt his footwork.[81]

Toughness is another highlight for Swanson. Swanson had only one TKO loss in his career. MMA junkie reported "Challenging Swanson on toughness is like accusing Shaquille O’Neal of being short"

Many sources state wrestling defence as Swanson's biggest weakness. This is seen in his fight with Chad Mendes and Frankie Edgar.

The UFC acknowledges Swanson's ground game.[2] In his fight with Doo Ho Choi and Dennis Siver, Swanson escaped from inferior positions. Despite this, 5 out of Swanson's 7 losses are by submission. This raises questions over Swanson's submission defence.[82] Swanson stated on his UFC profile that Superman double wrist lock is his favourite move. [2]Interestingly, he has never submitted any of his opponents using that move.

Influences

Swanson stated on Reddit that Bruce Lee inspired him as a fighter.[83]

Training

Swanson began training in MMA since 2003. His typical workout routine involves striking in the morning and cardio exercises in the afternoon. Grappling sessions take place at night.[2] Brazilian Jiu-jitsu medalist Rigan Machado coaches Swanson BJJ. Former boxing champion Joel Díaz teaches Swanson boxing.

Coaching

Cub Swanson owns a MMA gym, Tru MMA, in Indio, California.[43]

UFC gym partnered with Cub Swanson to open a UFC gym in Costa Mesa. Swanson taught intermediate MMA classes at the UFC GYM on May 10, 2017. Classes included Boxing, kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.[84] "As a native of Southern California," remarked Swanson on the UFC website,"I look forward to bringing this community, which is both near and dear to my heart, a myriad of amazing amenities and programs to help them TRAIN different and live a healthier lifestyle."[85]

Boxing career

Prior UFC Fight Night 57, Cub Swanson said that he might transit into Boxing if he loses. "If I don’t get that (win against Edgar), who knows? Maybe I’ll do something different. Maybe I’ll go start boxing."[44][45] Swanson did not transit into boxing after the loss.

In 2017, Swanson challenged retired pro-boxer Paul Malignaggi. The fight was proposed to be the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor. Swanson boasted "Let Me show this former boxer what a real fighter is!" Malignaggi initially replied "I hear your boxing isn't bad though and Joel Díaz(Swanson's boxing trainer) is a good trainer so as I said, for that card only, I'd consider it." On June 17, 2017, Malignaggi changed his mind and replied "I never started training. I wish you luck but I'm out."[86][87][88][89]

Public image

Tattoos

Swanson's tattoos make him "one of the most identifiable fighters in the UFC". The largest tattoo is on Swanson's back. The tattoo shows a cross surrounded by clouds and angels. "I was raised in the church, so it has meaning to me," said Swanson in an interview, "I believe in having balance in life. Doing good things in my every day life and then being extra mean when I fight is my balance." On Swanson's abdomen are six palm trees, representing Swanson's hometown - Palm Springs. Swanson's chest is bears the writing "So Cal", which means Southern California. "Killer Cub" wanted to represent where he came from. "Not a lot of people have come from here and done big things", said Swanson. Swanson's left forearm reads "Victory is reserved ... for those willing to pay it's price". The arm tattoo "reminds me that I paid the price and I'm willing to do what it takes." Swanson also has tattoos or two skulls and roses on his right leg. The roses represent the Mexican "Day of the Dead". Swanson's head and his left leg are the only places with no tattoos.[90][91]

Trash talk

Trash-talking is a common practice in MMA, as exemplified by Nick Diaz. Swanson said that he dislikes trash-talk because "respect is a big part of the game." [92]

Despite his claim, Swanson talks down on his opponents on Twitter. He famously did this against contender Artem Lobov. "I've never liked Artem anyways lol," responded Swanson to Lobov's challenge prior UFC Fight Night 108.[93] On another instance, Swanson called Lobov "an imitator (of Conor McGregor) and have no real identity @RusHammerMMA #Weak".[94]

Fear the Fighter

Clothing retailer Fear the Fighter is a popular sponsor of MMA athletes. In December 2014, a scandal broke out regarding athletes' sponsorship. Mixed Martial Artist Gegard Mousasi accused FTF for not pay his sponsorship money. Mousasi encouraged all UFC fighters to "speak up about sponsors".[106] Among the unpaid are UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping and Cub Swanson.[107] Fear the Fighter logo was shown on Swanson's walkout shirt on UFC Fight Night 44.[108] Swanson called "Fear the Fighter" "The worst company I've had to deal with personally." The debt was worth reputedly $6,000. On January 13, 2015 Swanson thanked FTF on Twitter for "sending me part of what you owed me".[109][110]

Reebok deal

Reebok: Current official UFC fight kit sponsor

Reebok partnered with UFC to become its official outfit provider. The contract began in July 2015 and lasts for six years. During this time all UFC fighters must wear assigned Reebok uniform. This applies to fights, weigh-ins and press conferences. In-cage sponsor banners are banned. The deal was publicly announced on December 2, 2014. Many fighters like Nate Diaz protested, claiming that they lost their private sponsorship.[111] Swanson is largely quite towards the Reebok deal. He announced on Twitter "Hey @Reebok when can we start working on my custom shorts?".[112] When asked what he thought about the deal, he responded "Don't know yet. We'll see when it goes in to effect."[83]

Reebok initially released a kit bearing the name "Kevin Swanson". The shirt was criticised because Swanson is commonly known as Cub, not Kevin. Media outlets condemned the Reebok production team for poor naming. Reebok apologised for the error and Kevin was changed to Cub. Swanson made no public comments regarding the error.[113] Athletes who have competed 20 or more fights for Zuffa will receive $20,000 per pay.
