“It doesn’t matter. I’m going to fight the same fight either way. I did WEC East Coast vs. West Coast and got booed. I don’t blame the crowd for going for Hardy. That’s what they should do. I’m not going to take anything personal.”
- Mike Swick when asked how he’ll adjust to the English crowd likely booing him and loudly supporting countryman Dan Hardy at this weekend’s UFC 105: Couture vs. Vera event. The fight for Swick (14-2) will be the biggest, and potentially toughest, of his career as he takes on red-hot local product Hardy (22-6) to determine the #1 contender to Georges St. Pierre.
