Swick began chemotherapy the same month, which, in conjunction with fasting, left him weighing a mere 68kg (151lbs).
But the 43-year-old retired UFC star is now at a healthy 93kg (205) after a long and arduous battle with the deal.
Early on Thursday morning, he tweeted: “43 and cancer free!”
Swick revealing of his remission was greeted with messages of joy, with UFC welterweight Matt Brown tweeting: “Badass!
“Congrats bro!”
