Cub Swanson has been dismissed by several jiu-jitsu schools during his training camp. Not for misconduct or anything like that, but simply because he’s fighting a Gracie. Swanson takes on Kron Gracie next week at UFC on ESPN+ 19 and has struggled to find a gym that will train him.

It’s been an interesting one,” Swanson said
