UFC on Fox 4 Update: Johnson vs. Swick Promoted to Main Card, Browne Pulled
By Chris Leslie on July 26, 2012
As reported earlier, Ben Rothwell has suffered an ankle injury in preparation for his bout with Travis Browne. While a replacement for Rothwell was sought, the UFC decided to instead pull Travis Browne from the card all-together. The UFC decided to fill the void on the main card with a welterweight fight between Demarques Johnson and Mike Swick. UFC officials announced the news Wednesday evening.
Swick will be making his first appearance in over two and a half years when he faces Johnson. The AKA product has dealt with both illness and injury in that time period but is now ready to make his return to the Octagon.
UFC on Fox 4 takes place August 11 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The four-fight main card will be anchored by a light heavyweight fight between Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Brandon Vera. The main card will obviously air on Fox with the preliminary card airing on Fuel TV.

Should have promoted the Phil Davis fight to the main.
yawn
Heck no… Davis is so boring… at least swick can throw some leather and make it exciting
Can someone please tell me what makes Phil Davis boring?
He is the only person to beat Alexander Gustafson and he submitted him. He beat Brian stann and forced him out of the division. He submitted Tim boetch and forced him out of the division. He beat lil nog.
I like Phil, but in fairness to Stann and Boetch, they were MW and way too small to fight at 205. His last fight against rashad wasnt his best performance, I’m sure he’s worked on his striking and will be better. Swick Johnson fight could be very entertaining, both guys generally try to finish their opponent not out point them. Long lay off for swick though.
I understand but Davis is a consensus top 7 in the division while swick and Johnson are top 20 if that for swick
