How good was Mike “One Kick” Swick?

[DiazSlap]

Dude trained at AKA and had some fast hands…


Never really lived up to his potential but had some nice wins over GSP’s friends like David Loiseau and Jon Goulet. Also had a nice win vs Ben Sanders.

I think he could hang with a lot of todays 170-185 lb guys.

It’s unfortunate he had health problems mess with his career. Swick was fun to watch back in the day.

Fairly well rounded guy with fast/heavy hands and slick submissions. Was undersized at MW and really was being positioned for a title shot at WW but his chin let him down. He would have looked A LOT more credible on GSP's resume than Dan Hardy even though both are largely forgotten in modern day.

Had Hardy not upset him, he likely would have had his wrestling exposed against GSP though because he really never faced/beat an elite wrestler (despite training with some great ones).

Definitely could have hung around as a gatekeeper type for several more years if not for the series of unfortunate health issues. Hope he is doing well.

Most of his fights were pretty fast and fairly entertaining. Just go watch them.

Avoid the Burkman fight though, they did a lot of hugging against the cage in that one, with Joe fellating Burkman's strength as the latter did his best Randy Wall'N'Stall impression.

But what if a thought pops into his head? He has to make a thread about it!
