UFC Tampa adds Billy Quarantillo vs. Cub Swanson

UFC featherweight veterans will collide as part of the promotion’s final 2024 event.

Tampa-area resident Billy Quarantillo will face UFC Hall of Fame fight combatant Cub Swanson at the Dec. 14 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla.

Quarantillo (18-6 MMA, 6-4 UFC) announced the bout on social media Oct. 4 with Swanson (29-14 MMA, 14-10 UFC) confirming Thursday.

Quarantillo, 35, has alternated wins and losses in his most recent eight outings. He most recently fought in March, when he lost by submission to Youssef Zalal. It was the first submission loss of his career.

  • Tracy Cortez vs. Miranda Maverick
  • Manel Kape vs. Bruno Silva
  • Billy Quarantillo vs. Cub Swanson
