Jens Pulver vs Cub Swanson
Quote:
Up-and-coming featherweight Cub Swanson signed his contract Sunday to face former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver at Sept. 5s World Extreme Cagefighting event at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev.
Word of the bout Pulver's first since his second-round submission loss to BJ Penn at The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale in June was announced today on TAGG RADIO. The fight will also mark Pulver's debut with the WEC.
A standout on the southern California circuit, Swanson, 23, has shone through in his two appearances with the Zuffa-owned promotion, earning a decision over Micah Miller at his last outing June 3.
I was given a choice to fight Pulver or Mark Hominick and I chose the first, says Swanson. If I train hard and stick to my game plan, I can win this.
Swanson, 10-1, trains with reputed coach Eric Paulson and at the Orange County Muay Thai facility in Santa Ana. The versatile fighter will also split his camp time for two weeks in the Big Bear Mountains with The Ultimate Fighter 2 winner Joe Stevenson in order to prepare for the world-traveled Pulver.
After eight mixed years as a lightweight and following his loss to Penn - a rematch of a 2003 UFC 35 lightweight championship bout the Miletich Elite fighter won - Pulver (21-8-1)vowed to fight at his more natural weight of 145 pounds.
