Swick will win but Burkman could finish him. It will come down to conditioning.

Swick is basically fighting a smaller Okami. Question is, is Burkman strong enough to hold Swick down and win a decision. Swick’s pretty skinny, but Burkman isn’t nearly as big as Okami. Could be a very interesting fight, jettisoning one of them instantly into the top 10 WW.

I sure do hope Swick demolishes Burkeman. Swick has skills to go along with a good fighter’s heart and I think he is champion material. Burkeman on the other hand has been a top promoter in UFC Snoozefest ‘07, a tour we all wish would end. I got Swick 2nd round TKO.

I luv watching Swick fights. They’re usually pretty exciting. I c burkman going in 4 a takedown and then getting put to sleep by a swickatine.

[quote comment="218361"][quote comment="218179"]i just dont see josh as a champion, i know he is up there with tito in big bear i can see him keeping a steady middle place throughout his career, never falling down to low but never excelling much either, i think of the guys he has up there in bb joe lauzon is the one to watch out for , now he has champion written all over him – i see swick ripping burkman apart .[/quote]

Whats your point, I dont see Swick as champion either, does that mean he should retire?[/quote]

Also, it says that Joe Lauzon is training in Big Bear. That is news to me. The last I knew (and that’s as of November 17th), Joe Lauzon was training in Hawaii with BJ Penn. And, they both looked to be quite happy.
