He should have a good showing, he hasn't fought in a long time!

You mean Nate Quarry who needs back surgery?

Hardly someone who faded away. Although I don't think he'll ever fight again.

There's no way in hell Swick is the #2 MW in the UFC, who has he beat in the UFC? Oh right he beat Schoenauer, Ray, Vigneault, and Joe Riggs who's a WW. Yeah, he's beat some real title contenders there, why don't they just give him a fight with Franklin.

But, he also had a broken hand in the 2nd round and Loiseau did alot of running. Either way, you have your opinion and I've got mine. Both guys standup is good and we know what Loiseau's skills are on the ground. Swick's submissions look ok too. We've only seen him use the guillotine but he's known to have a good ground game. I'm not saying Loiseau is a chump by any means. He's by far the best Swick has faced in his career. I see this fight starting with a minute or two of feeling each other out. Then we see some bombs come from both fighters. If one gets rocked we'll either see someone go to sleep or someone get a takedown. This is a great addition to 63. Both these fighters have alot to lose.

I agree with this but I think he's put more fights in for a title shot than Anderson Silva who looks like he'll be gettin the shot at 64. Oh well, back to the story.
