Cub Swanson

Cub Swanson is the Palm Springs featherweight who holds the record for most post-fight bonuses in UFC featherweight history. He was famously knocked out by José Aldo’s eight-second double flying knee in the WEC, then rebuilt himself into one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC.

His 2016 war with Doo Ho Choi at UFC 206 is in the UFC Hall of Fame Fight Wing. CagePotato covered his highlight knockouts and his long career, which ran from 2004 to 2026.
