Swick Matches Up With Silva Well
I was thinking that Swick would actually be a good fight for Silva. Both have Incredibly fast hands and great power. I think that both would want to bang and that Silva might want be a little more cautious coming in.
Rich comes from strange angles, Swick comes straight in with speed and power.

I do think Swick has the potential to surprise a lot of people, I said this right after the Franklin fight. The guy will have a good game plan, he's a landslide underdog so there is 0 pressure on him to win and he's extremely determined. He's been doing some very special things in the UFC lately. Check out the UFC website for a new article on him and his desire to fight Silva. Do I think he'll win ... NO ... but he will make a much better fight of it than Franklin |

I think Swick should fight Leben first before Silva, he didnt look brilliant against loiseau so will need to improve before fighting Silva.

I don't know about that. I'm not saying that Anderson is not a better fighter, but I think that they do match up very well. I think it's a fight that will surprise most people. |

No, I think Franklin would win against Swick .. but Franklin either came in with a bad game plan or was simply taken out of his game plan by a superior fighter in Silva. I just think Swick will have the benefit of understanding what Silva is a bit better and he won't have the same pressure on him as Franklin did ... really there was HUGE pressure on Rich. I really think fighters will develop good strategies against Silva ... he's still gonna be tough to beat but I don't think he'll be blowing through guys for long |

What makes you think that either one of them will fight in the UFC???
They are on top of Pride right now and Pride pays out a lot more than UFC. |
