View Full Version : Mike "Quick" Swick
GingerSpiceGuy 09-15-2006, 01:31 PM Mike "Quick" Swick is 4-0 in the UFC and he keeps getting better.He has the quick hands of Vitor Belfort plus quick submissions. I don't think there ever was fighter like that before in MMA history. I know he's not even ranked up there in top 10 of his weight class, but i think he should be ranked #2 at 185, only behind Rich Franklin. I say if he got to fight Anderson Silva, Jeremy Horn, Matt Lindland, Evan Tanner, David Loiseau or any other top 185 pounder, Swick would win. He deserves a title shot against Rich Franklin.
He always finishes off his opponents quickly
Swick is better than Dan Henderson as well, who is the Pride 185 pounder champion.

I don't think he can beat Anderson Silva. Anderson Silva is going to be the new champion..his stand up is incredible.

no, Silva is beatable. He got submitted twice and lost another fight by KO when fighting in Japan. I think Swick has quicker hands, so Swick would outsrike him. If not, Swick would catch him with a quick submission

Silva has improved since then....he cannot be taken down now. Did you see what he did to Chris Leban?

i did see that fight. It was a quick JKO for Silva. But i just think Swick is much better than Leben. Leben did KO Swick when they fought before TUF season 1, but like Swick said, he got caught with the KO because he wasn't used to fighting southpawed fighters.
I think Swick is much better now, and can beat most of the top 185 pounders easily
MataLeao 09-15-2006, 02:29 PM I like Swick a lot too but i don't think i've seen a fight yet when he's really been challenged. None of his UFC fights (not including TUF) have gone on longer than the first round. I like his striking and from what I can gather his grappling's pretty good too. I don't know though if he could beat guys like Tanner, Lindland, or Loiseau. I guess we will see about Louiseau this month (I'm going with Loiseau on that one). He's got tons of potential but until he has beaten a real tough opponent, like Loiseau, I still see him as a mid-level fighter.

yes, there's a lot for Swick to prove. Loiseau is one of the top 10 at 185, so getting a quick submission/KO against Loiseau will move Swick to top 10 on MMA rankings
