In just a few short days, veteran Cub Swanson will make his 25th walk to the UFC Octagon at UFC Fight Night: Covington vs Buckley.
It marks a significant milestone for the Hall of Famer, whose fight with Dooho Choi in 2016 has already etched its name in the promotion’s history books forever. There were points in Swanson’s career where he thought this day would never come, which makes it so much sweeter to hit the quarter century mark this week in Tampa.

“It means a lot because it almost got cut short from injuries and the tough things that happen in this sport,” Swanson said of hitting the 25-fight milestone.
