MMA Sports caught up with Mike Swick after
his Knockout victory over Jonathan Goulet at UFC Fight for the Troops.
With a change from Middleweight to Welterweight, he is on a 3 fight
winning streak and getting closer to a title fight.
MMASPORTS: First off I wanted to congratulate
you on the very impressive win over Jonathan Goulet, could you give
us your thoughts on that fight?
MS: Thanks! It went great. Pretty much how I had envisioned it going
for the last 3 months!
MMASPORTS: That makes KO #6 so far, which one
is your most memorable knockout to date?
MS: It’s hard to say. I think the Goulet KO is the most meaningful,
considering the crowd and cause of the event.
MMASPORTS: This also makes your 3rd straight
win at Welterweight…what made you drop down a weight class?
MS: It’s my natural weight class.
MMASPORTS: Well, that makes sense then…haha.
I've been hearing rumors that a bout between you and Thiago Alves may
be in the works...any truth to that?
MS: This is the fight I want, so we shall see.
MMASPORTS: I wanna see this fight as well, Joe
Silva if you are reading this…Make it happen!! How do you think a fight
with Alves would go?
MS: I think it would be a very exciting fight!
MMASPORTS: There’s a big fight coming up soon
between Penn and St.Pierre, which if you keep beating people up like
you have been, could definitely come into play with you in the future...who
do you think takes this fight?
MS: I hate doing predictions! haha, I like both fighters very much and
would be honored to one day fight either of them.
MMASPORTS: haha! So...what do you like to do,
when you’re not fighting?
MS: My hobbies are traveling and poker! I love to travel. I am actually
heading back to Thailand this Sunday for vacation and training. I will
be blogging about it on my daily blog... michaelswick.blogspot.com
MMASPORTS: Sounds like fun. Who hits the hardest,
out of anyone you have ever fought/sparred/etc.
MS: Well, I guess Chris Leben. He is the only guy to ever knock me down
or TKO me in a fight.
MMASPORTS: If you could play matchmaker for a
day, what is one fight that you would love to set up and watch (any
org/weight class/etc.)
MS: Well right now I would love to see Fedor/Lesner.
MMASPORTS: If they were to make a movie about
your life...who do you think they would get to play Mike Swick?
MS: ME!
MMASPORTS: Haha, all right man, that’s all I
have got for you...anything you wanna close with?
MS: Just want to say thanks to all the fans out there for their support!
