Mike Swick To Face Dan Hardy At UFC 105

Posted on: September 30, 2009 @ 5:00 am

The comes from the UK Dan Hardy will face Mike Swick at UFC 105 in Manchester on November 14. The dramatic change in opponent, after an injury to Dong-Hyun Kim, could signal the start of a charge up the UFC welterweight rankings for the Nottingham fighter, who has made loud noises in the 170lb division in a 3-0 winning streak in the UFC. I understand that both fighters have agreed to the contest in principle, but contracts are likely to be signed in the next week. Swick will be a true test for Hardy, who hinted over the weekend on his website that there was dramatic news afoot. The switch of opponents follows an upset in the welterweight division at UFC 103, when Hardy’s trainer partner Paul Daley stopped Martin Kampmann after two and a half minutes of their contest in Dallas, Texas. At UFC 103, Kampmann and Swick had been due to face each other in a title eliminator for a UFC welterweight title contest with Georges St Pierre, until Swick was injured. Advertisement: MMANews.com
