(This story appears in today’s edition of USA TODAY .) Cub Swanson fancies himself the world’s biggest wuss. It’s a point of pride for the 29-year-old UFC featherweight from Palm Springs, Calif. Swanson’s job might be to beat and choke foes into submission, but that’s a risk he has learned to mitigate over years of training and injuries that benched him at critical times in his MMA career. Risking his life through sanctioned violence is a reality he has embraced over nine years in the cage.
