Caught up with my guy @CubSwanson at the @gf31foundation celebrity golf tournament at @golfDWGR today. The 38-year-old Killer Cub is 28-12, hoping for his next fight to be here at home at new @AcrisureArena. Great playing golf with one of the best dudes around! @KESQ @BaileyKESQ pic.twitter.com/862ICnBI40

The Palm Springs native, Cathedral City high school grad's last fight was Dec. 18, 2021 in a TKO against Darren Elkins. Swanson says he hopes to bring the UFC to the desert.
"I was hoping my next fight would be here in the desert, I'm not giving up on that. Probably will do a fight sometime this year and I'm hoping for a big push for the beginning of next year," said Swanson.
"Hopefully we can get the UFC to understand that coming to the desert is a huge thing. I promise that it will sell out with the support of everyone here in the desert."
Swanson is eyeing the newly built Acrisure Arena that will be opening at the end of the year.
