should swick move to 170 if he loses?

ive been impressed so far with swick's ability to be competative in a division with a lot of striking talent considering his size. okami is not a particularly large opponent, but losing to him would really kill swick's momentum even though he still has a win over former title challenger loiseau.

like kampmann, perhaps swick should think about moving to 170 if he loses this fight. both he and kampmann would be pretty tall for 170, but they both look like they cant weigh more than 190 lbs, which is within the realm of possibility for cutting to 170.

should swick move down if he loses this fight, the way that kampmann will likely move down if he loses to franklin?

I dont know, man, I met Swick a year ago and hes actually a big dude. I dont think 170 is realistic for him. He would be very weak at that weight IMO.

If he could he would, but he can't.

Swick could make 170. He could make 155. Would he be effective at either of those weight classes? I'd say yes at 155, but as long as GSP is at 170, no way.

Swick held his own at 205, i think he'll be fine at 185. no need to go to 170. It will be good to see him fighting again.

He could never make 155. In fact he would have trouble cutting to 170. He usually walks around 190- 200 & with little body fat.

No the hell he ain't, he weighed 192 in the weigh-in on TUF vs. Bonnar...and he said he was walking around at 190 during an interview with Quinton on UFC.com.

He could make 170 if he wanted to.
