COSTA MESA, Calif. – The first time Cub Swanson steps into the UFC cage in 2023 it’ll probably be at featherweight.
When fight fans most recently saw Swanson (28-13 MMA, 18-12 UFC), it was in October at bantamweight, his divisional debut. Swanson was finished with leg kicks by Jonathan Martinez.
While a part of him wishes he could stick around at 135 pounds to prove doubters wrong, Swanson concluded recently that featherweight likely makes the most sense for him at this point in his career. He hopes to make his UFC return in August.
