Swick wont return until late in the year

Yesterday Dana White announced at the UFC 90: Silva vs Cote Press conference we learned that Mike Swick would also get an opponent for the Chicago event. Well the announcement may have been premature as Swick told MMAWeekly.com that the injury is still not 100% and will keep him out of the UFC 90 card.

“As of right now it is still not 100%, mostly because I am training on it so much, but should be completely healed within the next few weeks. I have been doing cardio and some grappling, but haven't been able to spar for some time. I am trying to be ready by November, but it’s a safer bet to say I will be fighting in December.”

So it seems the UFC will have to look for other matches to fill the rest of the main and undercard from this point out. We will let you know when Swick does get an opponent for November or December.
