The fan-favorite opened up about his teammate’s suspension during media day, as captured by MMA Fighting, at UFC Ottawa on Thursday. “I found out like everybody else. It was quite as shot. As far as our team, we have standards about being honest,” he said. “He is still part of our team. It’s a decision that he made and we forgive him for it.”
“I didn’t like being put in pictures and whole team being accused of stuff that isn’t true,” Swanson continued. “He feels terrible about the whole situation… We’re working past it.”
Swanson, 35, also touched on how mixed martial arts molded him from rough adolescents.
