The Swanson Brothers

The initial dream of the Swanson brothers‘ was always soccer. Cub is the youngest, Steve is the oldest, and Aaron is the middle brother.

After school, The brothers would rush home and gather all of the local kids to turn a nearby street corner into their own soccer pitch.

As Aaron grew older, his passion for playing games dwindled. Similarly, his brother’s aspirations of becoming a soccer player also faded away.

Swanson’s father passed away shortly after his birth. Steve, the eldest of the sibling, took on the role of a father figure for his younger brothers.

The older brother experienced several school expulsions, causing Cub’s soccer dreams to diminish and the streets to become dominated by violence and chaos.

Currently, Steve is doing well in his MMA fighting career. On the other hand, his older brother did not join the sport until much later.

With a sense of accomplishment, Steve stated:

“What we had to do to get where we are at was difficult, but we did it. We’re here, and he would definitely be a proud pop.”

Moreover, Steve and Kevin together train in and run their MMA gym, Try Gym.
