| Mike "Quick" Swick
I heard rumors that Swick is going to fight a top MW at the next UFC. I hope this is true. I said for a while that Swick should be ranked at least #3 at 185. But he isn't even ranked in top 10 for any MMA site i go to. If he got to fight Anderson Silva, David Loiseau, Matt Lindland, Evan Tanner, Swick would win easily.
He is getting better with submissions. He could get that guillotine choke off very quickly and has those quick hands. Imagine him learning other submissions and using it quickly, he'll be almost unstoppable. Well, Rich Franklin is the only fighter at 185 that i think is better. Swick would beat Dan Henderson

he's scheduled to fight The Crow at UFC 63. http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...2008&zoneid=14
Swick is a great new up and comer ,but I don't know how easy it would be for him to beat Anderson Silva, David Loiseau, Matt Lindland,or Evan Tanner.

So i know a lot about MMA. I know Swick isn't ranked that high, but i can see him being the next MW champion.

I could see him being a threat to Rich and a contender at MW ,but to say that he'd beat Anderson Silva, David Loiseau, Matt Lindland,or Evan Tanner easily is a bit far fetched.

i don't know if i ever mentioned this before, i like seeing champions that always finish off their opponents. Swick is one of those fighters, and i'm hoping he becomes champion. Dan Henderson is the Pride MW champion and he had to go to decision in his last 2 fights. Swick wins fights and makes it look easy

after Swick got that submissions win over Joe Riggs, I had Swick ranked #2 for middleweights only behind Rich Franklin. I think Swick is that good. I know a lot of fans will argue with me over that, but thats my opinion

I know a lot of fans will argue with me over that, but thats my opinion | It's one thing for someone to think he's a number 2 type caliber fighter ,but another thing to think he should be actually ranked number 2!Accomplishments play a big part in rankings and right now the only real think Swick has accomplished is a win over Riggs.
