Swick cut incorrectly and will do better next time.. he knows what he has to do now, and he should show up a little bit bigger in this fight.. if Swick can counter.. but still bring the explosive Swick of old.. this should be an amazing fight.. i wouldn't mind seeing swick impose his will w/ the "Swick-missions" either.. but Davis can go for subs too.. Swick would have to do a good job of countering, and be patient and setup the takedown.. then, he could get the finish.. but.. i'm not ruling out Davis at all.. Swick’s gonna have to be the counter-puncher in this fight..like he was in the Burkman fight..

We aren't really sure what we have with either of these two fighters in this weight class yet. And both are looking to prove themselves. Davis is trying to show people he can beat some top/better guys in the division and Swick wants to prove that he is better then his last showing. Should make for a good fight.

I'm a huge fan of both guys so this will be really hard fight to root for since I wouldn't want either to lose. IMO (if both fighters show up in good form)I see davis with a slight advantage due to power. Would a win here warrant a title shot for Davis? How many does the guy need to win in a row to get a title shot?

I think Swick may look to test out Davis' ground game. Sure he's been submitting people but people like Spratt and Taylor aren't exactly known for their ground games. Swick will have a hard time in the stand up aspect so it probably be best to try and emply Swick-missions. Also, stop getting on Swick for his lacklustre performance... he just cut the weight a bit wrong and he knows what he has to do now. I had a feeling they’d make this fight.

At the time I wondered whether he had cut too much weight. Davis will be on him like a rat on a cheeto. If Swick's stamina isn't better than the Burkman fight, it could be over quickly.
