"The next thing I'm most proud about is never giving up. Because I have been knocked down many times, I have lost a couple of battles," said Swanson. "But I never thought I would lose the war, and here I am."
Swanson, a Coachella Valley native, has a 28-12 MMA record and has the third most wins in UFC Featherweight history (13).
