Goulet…gay
KOuch, I disagree…GSP can take Penn. I don’t know that Penn has the long term commitment mentally. I can’t jump on that wagon yet. Penn needs two or three more fights till I’m convinced he can handle GSP.
By the way GSP is French…I hate the French

I agree this is supposed to be the new improved BJ but we’ll see. He has always relied on his skills alone until the last year or so.

bj is tough but he always looks out of shape at 170, he better come with more than a beer gut or hes gonna look like jon fitch part 2

BJ has very heavy jabs and punches that caused St Pierre problems last time, i think the second fight would come down to george’s ability to out wrestle and control the fight on the ground.

Dolfan,

I am with you. If Serra can beat GSP….fluke or not…Penn can definitely beat GSP. I think GSP is great but also starting to get a little over rated in the area of champion dominance. I still want to see GSP “dominate” the WW division. To me that means 2-3 more successful title defenses. He is badass and extremely athletic/talented… I just want to see more successful title defenses…that’s all.

Hey Del ……. You are wrong .you dont even have the right coastline …but ……. who cares what you think hahaha .seriously hahaha .

DolfanG — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 13:53:40 +0000

We sure are a bunch of thinkers aren’t we? Because I think BJ Penn has a very good if not great chance to beat GSP> Matt Serra took GSP apart in their first fight. I’m sure BJ will learn from that. He’ll control those leg kicks and take GSP down… but I digress… this is about Quick Swick… He looks too lean to me. Without any fat, where will he get his stamina from? You have to have fuel for the fire. I agree with KOuch… he should have stayed at MW and improved on his strength conditioning.

By: Dr Doom

Dr Doom — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 23:34:16 +0000

UHHHHH actually del . you’d better read that again ………… its GSP who is gonna beat Penn .not swick beating GSP

By: Mikew

Mikew — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 23:00:36 +0000

I think BJ is a dangerous guy in whatever weight he fights, he has the natural skills that put him ahead of most guys.
I expect a close fight between him and St.Pierre but Georges will take him down at will.

By: del

del — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:40:53 +0000

HA HA HA HA HA! did I hear swick is gonna beat up gsp, whoa feck, thats somethin funny. Keep huffin that gas Doom, apparently it makes you think up some funny ****.

By: KOuch

KOuch — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:35:16 +0000

Dr. Doom,

I get you buddy. I think Penn is in his last hoorah to cement his legacy in MMA. He is doing everything he can to add more to his repuatation and career story. I can’t bash that.

By: Dr Doom

Dr Doom — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:11:13 +0000

When penn fights StPierre it will be a big mistake for him …… George is way too talented now to lose to Penn . Penn should be focusing onn the lightweight title and its responsabilities as champion rather than use it to achieve greedy goals . He’s a chump in my books now .

By: Dr Doom

Dr Doom — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:07:54 +0000

hahah that would be a stretch . no I meant StPierre

Swick dismantle BJ Penn, Mike Swick??

By: Dr Doom

Dr Doom — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:38:11 +0000

Swick is gonna kick his ass ………… he may be one guy to challenge stpierre down the road ..after he dismantles BJ Penn (who Im sick of)

By: Mikew

Mikew — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:35:43 +0000

Goulet has his ups and downs but when he’s up he is no joke, he is sometimes over aggressive forgetting about defense but you gotta love a fighter with a huge heart.
Look for Swick to be the counter puncher in this one.

By: del

del — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 07:20:18 +0000

chalk up another win for goulet, after this is swick gonna try and fight at lightweight, **** this guy looks in rough shape at WW, almost a little HIV like

By: Brandon

Brandon — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 06:14:16 +0000

Swick against Marcus Davis was a gameplan well executed. Davis is a great boxer, swick while being a good Muay thai guy is not the same caliber. Playing the ground game is smart. Swick will beat Goulet I believe

Johnathan Goulet is a training parter of GSP’s but he has failed to look even close to as impressive as GSP. I think swick finishes this fight in R2.

By: Surfingk5

Surfingk5 — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 04:24:41 +0000

Swick has not looked “great” but I think having more time at this weight he can only get better. I believe he’ll be back to his old aggressive self the more comfortable he is at this weight. Maybe Goulet it the perfect guinea pig for him.

By: Justin

Justin — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:40:29 +0000

I agree with K0uch, he should have gotten stronger, not moved down. His body doesn’t look right at WW. I also agree that he has little to gain in this fight.

By: KOuch

KOuch — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:20:40 +0000

I have not been to thrilled or excited over Swick’s first two fights at WW. I did not think losing to Okami by being over powered was a reason to drop down either. Lift weights and get stronger. I’m not sure why but it seems to me Swick has lost his explosive combos since moving down….then again it’s only been two fights. We will see….Swick does not have much to gain in winning this fight in my opinion.

rutdog — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:59:24 +0000

This could be a good fight, well, not really. I think is the UFC helping promote Swick. He’s losing fans faster than Tito, and this could be a highlight reel knockout like the Swick of old. If not, then he could become a permanent gatekeeper at WW.

By: Mikew

Mikew — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:19:40 +0000

Also Goulet called out Swick for this one, dont blame the UFC.

By: Mikew

Mikew — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:17:54 +0000

Im trying to figure out who this devastating fighter named Swick is, he tends to bore me with his in and out quick as a bunny attacks. He is definitely not a brawler but good at moving to avoid shots and has limited power with a great Swickotine.

T3chn3tnium — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:15:56 +0000

haha not only pampered but home field advantage. if there is any he would get it.

By: jazzkok

jazzkok — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:10:13 +0000

He’s still got punching power and i think he’s just as good a ww, or atleast can be. I’m just not happy with the fact that the UFC keeps messing up the “ranks”. Might not be accurate to the T but these guys should be fighting eachother for the top contender spot.

St Pierre The Champ/The Man

Alves vs Sanches
Karo vs FItch
Swick vs Kos

Or something along those lines. NOT goulet vs Swick. What the hell dude? I hate the way some fighter like Bisping get pampered. That $hits gay!

swick will finally look good in this fight and will destroy goulet

By: DolfanG

DolfanG — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:28:01 +0000

I haven’t seen Swick for quite a while. He was a devastating fighter at MW. Does he still have the same punching power?

By: Thuwak

Thuwak — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:25:13 +0000

Goulet… sounds like spoon feading to me.. Could have done the same for Matt Hammil… DAMN UFC.

GOULET!! reminds me of the will ferrell skit

By: Surfingk5

Surfingk5 — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:00:15 +0000

I’m kinda tired of Goulet…maybe it’s just his name. Yeah, I don’t like his name. Swick should destroy him.

By: RLT

RLT — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:58:39 +0000

Dolphan G,

Swick has been a WW for his past two fights. And both of those fights weren’t very exciting.

By: DolfanG

DolfanG — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:51:38 +0000

It’ll be interesting to see Quick Swick as a WW. Will he still have as much power in his ounches or will his drop in weight translate in less power? Interesting… and Goulet will be the sacrificial lamb…

mburtoni,
That’s probably why Leben declined the fight.

By: mburtoni

mburtoni — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:24:41 +0000

“Swick was to make his welterweight debut at UFC Fight Night 11 against Chris Leben…”

As far as I know, Leben has always been a MW and has no intentions of dropping down a weight class.

i agree he is a contender, perhaps i should have chosen my words more carefully, how about he IS a “legitimate contender”

Who is goulet? And why are they placing him against swick? Are they trying to avoid an inevitable teammate vs teammate swick vs kos or swick vs fitch? Cuz those fights make more sense since swick is a “contender” a ww. Or atleast i thought he was after he beat davis. I don’t like this match up. Swick is up there and should be fighting guys who are up there. Whatever i guess right.

By: Justin

Justin — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:00:33 +0000

Swick should easily beat Goulet, I wonder what color Goulet’s hair will be.

swick is a beast, who will be a contender
