The MMA Heros
With a very disappointing loss via unanimous decision to Dan Hardy last UFC 105: Couture vs. Nogueira, Mike “the Quick” Swick is looking for a rematch. The bout between Dan Hardy and Mike Swick was for the top contender spot for the title that is currently held by one of the best MMA pound for pound fighters in the 185 pound division, George Saint-Pierre.
Paolog Thiago is going to face Mike Swick who is given another chance to regain his position in the MMA Rankings, it will be one tought fight for him. Mike Swick has been more serious with his training especially that he will go toe to toe with one of the best submission artist in their division. Paolo Thiago is a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and has won many of his fights via submission, although he is a great grappler he is still very lethal in his stand-up and that is something that Mike Swick doesn’t take for granted. Mike Swick is hoping to win this match in a stand-up game; he believes that even if Paolo Thiago is a good striker that he is a better one.
Another aspect of his game that he improved is his ground game, he is now more confident to go to the ground and he thinks that even at ground game Paolo Thiago’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu skills will not be enough to defeat him and that he will be able to take what Thiago will throw in the ground game.
Ever since the loss of Mike Swick to Dan Hardy he has tried to improve every loop hole in his game. Winning his next match against Paolo Thiago would make him the next contender for the title that is in George Saint-Pierre’s waist. But given the opportunity to fight for the championship, he says that he rather have a rematch first with Dan Hardy. Swick is sending a message out there that is clear, he does not want to leave any unfinished business and he is certain that he will win. This is the new Mike “the Quick” Swick, a better and more confident fighter than he ever was before.
