you must be high if you think Swick would be GSP's toughest test. 3 Hughes fights, Koscheck, Fitch, Trigg all of whom he steamrolled with the exception of the first Hughes fight. a decent fight but not his toughest.

just watched the replay of Swick dismantling Goulet, its time he got a shot a top level competition. He has the fastest hands in mma, he should have no prob beating an overated Kampman!

Both are looking very good and are big, big boys. Swick has incredibly fast hands, and Kampmann is very solid all around. I don't think either will beat Pierre, but any of them is a great challenge. I wish they could get Shields in time to fight the winner of that fight, and have the winner face St Pierre.

But we cannot count Alves out; definately the toughest test for Pierre thus far...

Uh, I don't know. I guess it makes sense. Actually I wouldn't of been surprised if they made Swick VS Hardy instead. Swick has four wins at WW and Hardy has racked up 3 in the UFC WW division. But, Kampmann's win over Condit really did alot to push him forward.

I'm taking Swick by Decision. They are both great strikers, Swick has the power in his hands while Martin has cottonballs for hands. But, Kampmann is alot more technical than Swick and will be able to get in and out of the pocket. Haven't seen much from Swick on the ground, we all know Kampmann has a decent ground game. I'm gonna say that Mike takes this on aggression alone.

And there was a "MMA FIX" interview on MMAMANIA.COM with Mike Swick and he said that he asked for Hughes, but Hughes turned it down.
