Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Kevin Luke "Cub" Swanson[10] (born November 2, 1983) is an American professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). A professional since 2004, Swanson is tied for the most post-fight bonus awards in UFC Featherweight division history with ten, including his WEC tenure he has been awarded "Fight of the Night" honors eleven times.

Background

[edit]

Swanson was born and raised mostly in Palm Springs, California, on November 2, 1983. He had a Swedish father and a Mexican mother. His widely used nickname Cub originates from his early childhood, as his brother could not say Swanson's real name and opted to call him Cub.[11] Swanson has two older brothers Steve and Aaron, and two sisters of which one has Down syndrome.[12][11] Swanson's father died of melanoma three months after he was born.[12] Because of his mother's heavy grieving and subsequent drug addiction, Swanson and his siblings were then adopted and raised by their father's cousin.[13] The adoptive family was religious so Swanson spent most of his early life in church. Swanson was also homeschooled for most of his young life. Swanson started playing soccer at the age of four, dreaming of a professional career and playing in the World Cup.[14][12] He and his oldest brother Steve excelled in soccer, winning the majority of the AYSO tournaments they attended in their age divisions.[12]

Eventually, when Swanson was 14, his adoptive parents divorced and he returned to his mother who at the time had recovered from the addiction.[13] Swanson then attended Cathedral City High School, along with future boxer Timothy Bradley.[15] At the time, Swanson associated himself with local gangs and participated in many streets fights. He also drank alcohol and took recreational drugs.[16] The police arrested Swanson and two of his friends for committing a house robbery. As a result, Swanson was placed in a juvenile detention center. He was released when he was 17 years old. At the age of 19, Swanson started working for United Cerebral Palsy, where he helped children with disabilities.[8] UFC fighter Joe Stevenson invited Swanson to train with him, which he accepted. This marked Swanson's transition into professional MMA.[17]

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

On July 25, 2004, Swanson made his first professional fight. MMA was not sanctioned in California in 2004, so Swanson competed at Total Combat in Mexico.

Swanson won nine fights before entering the WEC in 2007. This included a rematch with Gugerty in 2006. Other than TC, Swanson also competed in KOTC and BIB.

Fighting style

[edit]

Many MMA media outlets say that Cub Swanson is one of the most entertaining MMA fighters.[115] MMA junkie reported "Swanson is 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.[116] MMAfighting.com calls Swanson "an exciting fighter".[117] MMA fans call Swanson's style "Beautiful Destruction" [118][119]

Swanson is known for his creative striking. Many pundits cite Swanson's ducking roundhouse kick / cartwheel kick to the head as his most distinct move.[120][118] 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.[119][121]

Swanson's movements are 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 give him more power but shift him off balance. This makes Swanson susceptible to take-downs and counters.[122] Similarly, Swanson's stance switches make him vulnerable to leg kicks. Low kicks tend to disrupt his footwork.[120]

In his fight with Doo Ho Choi and Dennis Siver, Swanson escaped from inferior positions. Despite this, 7 out of Swanson's 11 losses are by submission[123] however since these losses he was highly praised for his takedown defence against world class jiu-jitsu fighter Kron Gracie[124][125][126] at UFC Fight Night: Joanna vs. Waterson in 2019. Swanson stated on his UFC profile that Superman double wrist lock is his favorite move.[8]

Swanson stated that Bruce Lee inspired him as a fighter.[127]

Training

[edit]

Swanson began training MMA in 2003. His typical workout routine involves striking in the morning and cardio exercises in the afternoon. Grappling sessions take place at night. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu medalist Rigan Machado coaches Swanson's BJJ.[8] Former boxing champion Joel Díaz teaches Swanson boxing.[7]

Coaching

[edit]

Cub Swanson owns an MMA gym, Tru MMA, in Indio, California.[115]

Swanson also co-owns a UFC Gym in Costa Mesa with Michael Bisping.[6] Swanson taught intermediate MMA classes at the UFC Gym on May 10, 2017. Classes included Boxing, kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.[128] "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."[129] Eventually, Swanson started attending training camps over at his own gym.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

Swanson married Kenda Perez on June 1, 2018. The two had their first child, Royal Rae Swanson, on August 21, 2017.[130][131] Their identical twin sons, Saint Cub Swanson and King Cub Swanson, were born on September 2, 2018.[132]
