Mike “Quick” Swick (born June 19, 1979 in Houston, Texas) is an American professional mixed martial arts fighter.
He was a participant in the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, a reality television series produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which is one of the reasons for his popularity. He was eliminated from the competition after a semi-final loss to Stephan Bonnar.
At The Ultimate Fighter finale, Swick defeated Alex Schoenauer by knockout at 20 seconds into the first round, earning the nickname "Quick" from UFC announcer Mike Goldberg. Since, he has lived up to his nickname by defeating Gideon Ray via KO at :22, Steve Vigneault via submission at 2:09 and Joe Riggs via submission at 2:19, all in the first round. Most of the wins have come by knockout, but also he has been known for using a guillotine choke in closed guard named the "Swickitine".
His record as of UFC 63 at September 23, 2006 is 12 wins, 1 loss. His one loss is to fellow TUF alumni, Chris Leben, in a match that occurred before the taping of The Ultimate Fighter.
At UFC 63 Swick beat David Loiseau via Unanimous Decision, where he suffered a hand injury found out to be ligament damage. He currently trains at American Kickboxing Academy. He recently called out the new middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, asking for a title shot since he defeated Loiseau, who was a former #1 contender.
Swick's next fight will be against Yushin Okami at UFC 69 on April 7th, 2007 in his hometown of Houston, Texas, this has been confirmed by Mike Swick.[1]
