Before injuries and other life bullshit it looked like swick was gonna have a damn good career in the UFC, I always thought he lost too much pop moving down to WW.Context is everything.
Mike Swick went 5-0 at middleweight before losing to Yushin Okami. This prompted him to drop to WW. He proceeded to go on a 4 fight win streak at WW.
With Fitch and Alves having recently lost to GSP, Hardy vs Swick was the clear #1 contender fight. Swick was a heavy favorite. Hardy won convincingly. Hardy earned the title shot.
I mean he held the record for fastest ko for a while..
Mike “Quick” Swick
