Cub Swanson had a playful response after Jonah Hill’s confident
Brazilian jiu-jitsu comments.
Hill’s physical transformation has garnered much attention lately.
The actor was known for playing characters on the heavier side, but
his weight loss over the past few years hasn’t gone unnoticed. He
recently revealed that jiu jitsu has played a major role in his
fitness journey and positively benefited his confidence as
well.
“I love Brazilian jiu-jitsu, except my body is begging me not to
love it,” Hill said during his appearance on SiriusXM’s Smartless.
“My wife is often like, ‘You’re not going to become a professional
fighter. You know that, right? You’re a comedian.’ My favorite
thing is people are like, ‘Oh, Jonah Hill, f*cking fat guy from
Superbad.’ And I’m like, ‘I would f*cking annihilate you, dude. I’m
not kidding you. Try it. If you see me, try it, dude. Bring it.
Who’s got it?’”
Swanson, who retired following his victory over Nate
Landwehr at UFC 327 in April, then joked about testing Hill
himself.
“If I run into him again. I’m gonna try him,” Swanson commented on
X.
If i run into him again. I’m gonna try him
