"I won't be fighting at UFC 105, but I will be there meeting the fans and sitting down with some popcorn to see Dan (Hardy) butcher (Mike) Swick. [He's] been bashing me for some reason, I don't know why, ripping on my record and things like that. All I did was accept a fight he'd pulled out of but he seems to have a problem with me. He said I am big headed, but I have gone out of my way to be humble in the UFC. After the fight I didn't jump around or nothing or shoot my mouth. I think Swick is jealous because he pulled out of the Kampmann fight and would never have done that if it were him in there and not me. I've got eight losses -- so what? I've fought literally twice as many people as he has and I have fought better opposition than he has. His best win was against Marcus Davis and Dan beat Marcus much worse than he did with lay and pray. Dan is going to get rid of Swick in Manchester next month. You won't hear too much about him after UFC 105."
Suddenly relevant welterweight striker Paul Daley reacts to some recent Swick-talk regarding his win over Martin Kampmann at UFC 103 last month in Dallas. The heavy-handed "Semtex" vaulted himself to the upper echelon of welterweights after replacing an injured "Quick" on Sept. 19, but rubbed the AKA standout the wrong way with his post-fight comments. Is Swick, who fights Dan Hardy at UFC 105 on Nov.14, jealous of Daley's sudden success? Or is the Brit simply getting too big for his britches after his win over "The Hitman?"
