Cub Swanson at UFC Vegas 62 media day
Cub Swanson is not trying to waste any energy ahead of his bantamweight debut at UFC Vegas 62. The UFC legend has his teammate do the talking for him as he mutes himself in front of the media.
WEC and UFC veteran, Cub Swanson will be making his first attempt to cut down to 135-pounds in his professional career. The fan-favorite will make his debut as a bantamweight in the upcoming UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs Araujo in the co-main event.
Ahead of his fight, Swanson made a very bizarre appearance at the media day of UFC Vegas 62. The fighter came in with his glasses and sat mute the entire time while he had his teammate, Dan Argueta answer questions that were meant for him. Argueta explained why the legendary fighter did not want to open his mouth at the presser.
“Cub’s trying to relax his voice a little bit. He’s a had a lot of phone calls and interviews to do,” Argueta said in the presser. “So I decided to fill in. He wanted to test me and he wanted to see if I answer everything correctly for him,” added Cub’s microphone substitute.
Swanson is set to fight Jonathan Martinez in a three-round bout. The veteran makes his return to the octagon after his amazing fight against Darren Elkins back in December 2021. Cub Swanson’s “weird” presser got some hilarious reactions on Twitter.

He has to save the voice so he can let out a Petr Yan yell at the ceremonial weighins.
