UFC 'Fight for the Troops': Swick is as Quick as They Come

Welterweight “Quick” Mike Swick (13-2) defeated “The Road Warrior” Jonathan Goulet (22-10, 1 NC) via TKO in only 33 seconds on Wednesday night near Fort Bragg during the UFC Fight for the Troops event.

Over a year of trash talking between the two fighters (which started when the two were first set to meet in September 2007, a fight Swick had to back out of due to a rib injury) culminated in a 33 second win for Swick in his third fight since dropping from a middleweight to a welterweight.

As the fight began, the two fighters danced around each other, each posed to shoot in or throw a shot, but it was Swick that opened up first with a cross-jab-cross combination to the head of Goulet.  Goulet dropped to his knees and grabbed one of Swick’s legs in an attempt to buy some time.

Instead, Swick landed left crosses and hammer fists to the side of Goulet’s face in a flurry until the referee was forced to step in and end the fight.

The official announcement was Swick winning via TKO at 0:33 of the first round.
