Mike Swick: "I'm Droping to Welterweight"

Quote:
The Ultimate Fighter 1 alum and middleweight standout Mike Swick (10-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) will drop to 170 pounds and fight as a welterweight in his next fight, according to Sam Caplan.

Caplan, an MMA reporter for CBS Sportsline.com, made the announcement on his personal MMA site, fiveouncesofpain.com.

Swick most recently lost a unanimous decision to Yushin Okami earlier this month at UFC 69. The American Kickboxing Academy team member had posted a 5-0 record in the UFC prior to the fight and was considered one of the 185-pound division’s top contenders.

Although the loss (to a very solid opponent) wouldn’t have been a complete disaster in terms of getting a future title shot, Swick admits that he’s probably best suited for the lighter weight class.

Swick stated the following at fiveouncesofpain.com:

“I plan to fight my next fight at 170. I came in lighter than ever for this one and I think it’s best to drop.â€

During UFC 69, which took place in Swick’s home state of Texas, broadcaster Joe Rogan mentioned that the tall-but-thin Swick would probably be a good fit in the UFC’s welterweight division. That prompted Caplan to reach out to Swick, who confirmed the move.
V_V, Swicks gonna get murdered there to
