    man he looks really skinny or just sick

  2. Rob "The Truth" Kegal says:

    He should have never dropped to 170 in the 1st place. He won 5 in a row out of the gate(including a win over then title contender David Loiseau) and dropped because of 1 loss to Okami….since his drop to 170, not only has he looked skeletal, but he didn’t look good against Burkman, didn’t look good against Davis, beat Goulet which means nothing and he beat Ben Saunders in a fight where Ive never seen Ben so hesitant to pull the trigger….then obviously the losses to Hardy and Thiago.

    I can still see him beating a lot of guys at 85 if he can get back to form.

  3. Braveheart says:

    Swick’s lost 2 in a row, both his teamates are top 5 in the world kos and fitch. His only loss a middleweight was against a top 10 middleweight Yushin Okami

    Anthony Rumble johnson is moving to 185lb

    Swick vs Johnson in december…….
