Another Injury!!!

Cub Swanson has suffered a facial injury that will prevent him from competing at UFC 132 against Erik Koch as originally scheduled.

Swanson tweeted the news on Thursday evening, posting a picture that revealed significant swelling on the left side of his face. It is unknown if the UFC is currently seeking a replacement opponent for Koch.

Headlined by a bantamweight title bout between reigning champion Dominick Cruz versus Urijah Faber, UFC 132 goes down July 2 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Swanson, 27, has split his last four contests. The eight-time WEC veteran is a three-time “Fight of the Night” winner. Swanson recently rebounded from a unanimous decision defeat to Chad Mendes by besting Mackens Semerzier at WEC 52 in November. Though the entertaining bout saw both men string together significant offense, it was Swanson who walked away with the split verdict in the end.
