Kevin Luke Swanson

Since 2004, American fighter Cub Swanson has been competing in the lightweight divisions under the flags of the UFC. As a member of Jackson's team, the acclaimed Judo and Jiu-Jitsu Master has received Fight of the Night awards and a number of Best Knockout awards.

The biography of the fighter Kevin Luke Kaba Swanson began on February 11, 1983, when he was born in Palm Springs to a US-Mexican-Swedish family. He became the fourth child of middle-income California residents and continues to experience the challenges he faced as a child.

The fact is that when Kevin was barely 3 months old, his father died of melanoma, and the mother, who fell into depression from grief, sent the offspring to her brother and sister.

The family where young Swanson was raised was religious, so the athlete's early years were spent among crosses and altars. Relatives taught him themselves, considering school education optional, so there was time for games and visiting sports clubs.

In 1987, Cab joined the soccer team and began dreaming of a professional career, winning most amateur games. And then there was membership in the American Youth Soccer Organization, participation in youth championships and the desire to become a student in the future and play in one of the university leagues.

This was not destined to happen, as problems began in the relatives' house. Not getting along because of some trifle, the boy's aunt and uncle divorced. He had to return to his mother, who was being treated for drug addiction, and, together with brothers Steve and Aaron, earn a living on their own.

The only virtue of the move was that Cub went to school and became a classmate of Timothy Bradley, who became famous as a boxer. The friendship between the guys led to the fact that they became members of a street gang, and at the age of 17, Swanson went to prison as a thief.

After 2 years, after being released from prison, he was under police surveillance and, on the orders of the sheriff, became a social worker for children. During this period, a passion for exercise equipment and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu came, thanks to which Kevin settled down and decided to take up mixed wrestling.

In his personal life, Cub Swanson does not at all look like an octagon thunderstorm and is madly in love with his wife Kenda Perez, daughter of Royal Rae and two sons. Photos often appear on Instagram, showing complete family happiness, and the fighter hopes that his family will be replenished with some more children in the future.

The entrance to the professional arena was facilitated by the acquaintance with Joe Stevenson, who was the owner of a number of titles and the winner of the Ultimate Fighter 2 tournament. Under his leadership, the puny Swanson, who was 170 cm tall, gained weight and muscle mass and reached 65 kg.

In mid-2004, Cub made his MMA debut, but lost to fighter Shannon Gagerty in the Total Combat series. Then there were seven successful battles, including a rematch that ended in a knockout, as well as the first fight of a featherweight title in San Jacinto, USA.

In March 2007, Kub performed under the banner of World Extreme Cagefighting, a mixed martial arts organization that later joined the UFC. Here he received solid royalties and improved techniques, defeating such formidable rivals as Donnie Walker and Tommy Lee.

During this period of active performance, Swanson won the “Fight of the Night” prizes, one of which was awarded for a duel with the young American John Frenchy. Using a dangerous choke technique, which experts call a guillotine, he inflicted serious injuries on his opponent, breaking both arms at once.

In 2011-2012, having suffered only 1 defeat, Cab was briefly out of action, having received dangerous injuries in the forearm and back before meeting with George Roop. And then, having recovered quite quickly, the fighter dealt with Charlis Oliveira, as well as Korean and Japanese athletes Choi Tu Ho and Tatsuya Kawaziri.

In the late 2010s, Kaba began to suffer from setbacks, and for the first time since the beginning of his professional career, he lost 4 fights in a row. Among the UFC Fight Night triumphs who managed to defeat the strong Californian were fighters Shane Burgos, Brian Ortega and Frankie Edgar.

In October 2019, Swanson ended his losing streak and defeated Crohn Gracie by unanimous decision at Fight Night. Now he is celebrating his own victory and another "Fight of the Night" prize, as well as treating broken bones and scratches in both eyes.
