Cub Swanson is one of the longest-tenured and most entertaining featherweights in MMA history. A product of the WEC who carried over into the UFC, he spent more than 15 years as a contender and ambassador for the division, stringing together notable win streaks and headlining cards with an aggressive, flashy striking style.
He never captured UFC gold, but his fights delivered — none more so than his 2016 Fight-of-the-Year war with Doo Ho Choi. Durable, humble, and reliably violent, Swanson is a respected veteran whose longevity and action made him a lasting fan favorite.
Why fans love Swanson
Exciting, flashy striking, remarkable longevity, and a humble, respected presence. His 2016 war with Doo Ho Choi is one of the great featherweight fights.
