Swanson’s recent fight was amazing and he is a fighter that I have always respected. I came across his recent interview that he believes that we need to have a rematch in which we owe to the fans. I also strongly feel the same but unfortunately I haven’t finished my military duties where it restricts me from flying overseas. Also I understand that he was just fought in UFC Fight Night 161 and that he would need to rest and recover but if him and the UFC can organize a fight in Busan, I guarantee that it will be the craziest fight of 2019! #busan#rematch @cubswanson @ufc

Swanson last competed in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night Tampa, defeating Kron Gracie by unanimous decision. Swanson said after the event that he is willing to fight Choi again, but didn’t mention a time frame for the potential rematch. Choi and Swanson first met back at UFC 206, a bout that Swanson won by unanimous decision.
