The nickname “Quick” sums Mike Swick really well. Always exciting to watch and loves to finish, Swick is on a four fight winning streak in the UFC and on his way to a well deserved welterweight title shot, if he gets through his next opponent Dan Hardy at UFC 105.

Mike: What sets the UFC apart from other organizations?
Swick: The UFC is the biggest and most marketed organization for MMA.

Mike: You were originally supposed to take on Martin Kampmann, but Paul Daley took your place after an injury... what were your thoughts on that fight?
Swick: It was not what I predicted, but I wasn't all that surprised. Daley is a very good striker.

Mike: Your next opponent is Dan Hardy... what are your thoughts on Dan?
Swick: He is a tough opponent. Very good striking and he's solid on the ground. I think its going to be a very exciting fight.

Mike: How do you feel the two of you matchup?
MS: Like water and oil. Only one will rise to the top...

Mike: And how do you think this fight will end?
MS: With someone asking their corner man "What happened?"

Mike: After this fight, if you win… your possible next opponent would be St. Pierre. How do you feel you matchup with him?
MS: It would be a life long dream-come-true to fight for a title. It has motivated me since joining the UFC. I think I matchup good with him. I think I bring in an element that his other opponents didn't have.

Mike: You have been vocal about wanting a fight with Matt Hughes as well, is that something you would still like to do at some point?
Swick: Yes for sure. He is one of the most decorated fighters of all time. Why not? I asked for him because he was available and I needed an opponent.

Mike: You were on The Ultimate Fighter, is that something you would do again? Either as a coach or where they bring back fighters from previous seasons?
Swick: I would love to be a coach, that would be really cool!

Mike: On the UFC 105 card, which you face Hardy… Randy Couture will also be taking on Brandon Vera, what are your thoughts on that matchup?
Swick: That is a great matchup and I like both fighters a lot.

Mike: What is it about AKA, that makes it one of the best camps out there… especially at Welterweight?
Swick: It’s all because of our team and because of our trainers.

Mike: Anderson Silva is going to be facing Vitor Belfort next… do you think Anderson will remain unbeaten in the UFC after this one?
Swick: He could.... but I think Vitor could catch him too. I am pretty excited for this one!

Mike: What about the hardest you have taken?
Swick: I took a good one from (David) Loiseau.

Mike: Thanks for the time… and I look forward to your fight at UFC 105.
