Decent fighters but I think they could find a much better main event for this card. A good matchup but I would like something with a little more meat or maybe title implications a few fights down the road. My gut reaction to this fight is: YAWN

Rich S. what are you talking about Goulet is a beast and reminds you of GSP.Goulet could have easily have been cut from the UFC but they wanted him for the card in Montreal and he happenend to win now he gets another fight which is a step down in competition for Swick.There is no reason the UFC can’t come up with a better match up than this.

now i will agree with that..
after beating burkman and then completely controlling a seemingly unbeatable opponent in Davis, it seems like Swick should be fighting someone a little higher on the ladder..
but when you think about it..
there’s no one left really..
Fitch won’t be fighting again this year..
and Thiago and Diego are already taken..
the only person available is Karo..

… Why is Goulet being put in front of Swick? It seems like a major step down in competition after beating Burkman and Davis.

Swick’s a great fighter, but losing to Goulet is no where near ouf-of-the-question..

Goulet’s been a beast as far back as i can remember..
he’s a very good, well-rounded fighter.. reminds me of GSP..
and he should be counted out of this fight by no one..

with that aside..
i think Swick would win..

Swick and Koscheck train together at AKA so I doubt they’ll square off anytime soon. I was hoping to see Swick vs. Rory Markham, but I forgot that Goulet is riding a two-fight UFC winning streak and he’s usually entertaining at the very least. I don’t think he’ll present too much of a challenge for Swick but he’s far from a can also.

Koscheck doesn’t have a fight scheduled currently, and there really are no legitimate contenders out there for him right now except for maybe Karo? He’s essentially next in line after the winner of Diego/Alves to get a title shot, but he also mentioned he wants to fight before the end of the year. If Karo recovers in time, a fight between him and Koscheck might be intriguing for the New Year’s Eve card. Or hell, put Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Koscheck together.

Oh, okay. When I read the headline I thought it meant that was going to be the main event and was both saddened and confused.
