Chris Mecate reflects on watching Cub Swanson in high school to training under him to witnessing his "beautiful destruction" in his last fight: "We'd have a substitute in P.E. class, and we would put on WEC, and it'd be Cub fighting. … Now, Cub is my coach." (🎥: @mikeHeck_JR)

"[The Doo-ho Choi win] was the greatest night of my life: found out I was gonna be a dad, Fight of the Year, Hall of Fame. On the other hand, I've been in the hospital with my jaw broken in f***ing shithole New Jersey, and my coaches being like, 'What the f*** was that?'" Cub Swanson reflects on the highs and lows of his legendary career.

Kron Gracie took a lot of shit for his last performance against Charles Jourdain, and rightfully so. That being said, we would be foolish to forget he went to war with Cub Swanson for 15 epic minutes. Wasn't afraid of the fire 🔥

For 2 years I watched a borderlands black bear cub grow up on 4 of my remote wildlife cameras. I named the cub Monsoon after watching videos of it relishing swims in monsoon pools. Monsoon is now roaming solo. The borderlands are wild and wonderful.

I introduced a food plate to my feeding station in the woods, in order to keep the area sanitary. For those wise enough to know they must always fear for their lives, the prospect is daunting. Could it be a trap? Could the food be a lure? Life is hard and scary for the lone fox cub, with no siblings to bolster his confidence. The little cub had to find his own courage.

Just like a kid, the National Zoo’s giant panda cub is having fun and tumbling, as he’s also learning to spend his days on his own in an enclosure away from his mama in an effort to eventually separate from her.

This morning, a four-month-old lion cub was found alone, weak, and starving in Block 16 of Nairobi National Park. Believed to have been left behind by its pride due to its inability to keep up, the cub was in critical condition. KWS veterinary team acted swiftly rescuing the cub and transferring it to the Nursery at the Nairobi Animal Orphanage. At the facility, our vets administered antibiotics and intravenous fluids. The cub is now under close monitoring and being fed to help it regain strength. Once fully recovered, it will be reintroduced into the wild as part of KWS’s rewilding efforts. In just the past three weeks, our team has conducted four lion cub rescues: • Two were in critical condition; sadly, one did not survive. • One is now a permanent resident at the Nairobi Animal Orphanage. • And today’s rescue was made possible thanks to nature enthusiasts who spotted the cub and alerted the park management. During the rainy season, tall grass and shifting herbivore patterns often make it difficult for carnivores to hunt effectively. Understanding this, KWS is currently conducting a feeding intervention, providing meat daily to the pride residing in the park to help them regain their strength and resume natural hunting. #ConservationInAction #NairobiNationalPark #TunzaMaliYako

😅 Cub Swanson says there is no bittersweet feeling after retiring and had to admit competing was taking a toll on his health: “It feels great to retire. I’m over it. Fighting is painful, and I’ve had a high pain threshold for a long time, being able to ignore it and tell myself I’m fine. I’m 42 years old, sometimes I sit back and think, ‘What are you still doing, dude? Get a job. Do something else.’” (via Home of Fight / Jake Noecker)
