UFC 105 Preview: Mike Swick Thinks Dan Hardy Is Delusional

From Cagewriter:
"He's not trash-talking, but he's completely delusional and disrespectful, and he's not giving me any credit for my career," Swick told Cagewriter. "For him to come on board with three fights in the UFC, two of which the judges said he lost, and act like he deserves a title shot, and act like he's going to smash me, and act like he's got a better arsenal than I do, and act like he's better than me everywhere, is ridiculously delusional and I can't wait to prove him wrong."
Now I understand that Swick is 9-1 inside the octagon, so that's got to count for something. However, it's not like he's faced the murderer's row of MMA opponents during that stretch either. He hasn't defeated any top ten opponents during his run as a welterweight, so he might want to get off that high horse about who has earned a title shot agaisnt GSP in my opinion.

Remember
this is the same guy that thought a win over Goulet made him ready for Alves. Now thats delusional.

Will Dan Hardy ever fight in the US?
He has skills but I hope Swick lays him out. A little humbling would serve him well long-term…like Bisping.

Me Too.
I’m sick of Swick’s houlier-then-thou douchebag act. Ripping on guys for not having enough fights, while f-ing up the WW division with his AKA buddies.

I’m rooting for Hardy all the way. Theres something about Swick that annoys me… I think its his jaw / face… not sure…something.

Swick will try to take down Hardy ad nauseum like he did when he faced a more dangerous striker than him/Marcus Davis. He’ll come out with a solid gameplan that will attempt to negate Hardy’s potential standing advantage. Bet on it. I’m more excited to see Hardy fight, just b/c of his style…and he sure does seem to get under the skin of guys he fights….he riled up Davis who is normally a pretty cool, experienced veteran. kudos to Hardy for making it as much mental as physical for the other guy. Koscheck for example would destroy Hardy in short order.
