Mike Swick reveals on Facebook that his UFC Fight for the Troops 2 bout with David Mitchell has been scrapped:
"I got the call yesterday that David Mitchell backed out due to an injury and considering my current situation we opted to put off the fight all together. I have been dealing with with my esophageal condition this whole camp and its taken a toll on my body. I will need more time to seek better treatment to ensure I can compete at this level."

Damn, Swick hasn't fought now in like 10 years.

I predict money will come in on Melvin.

Good call.

[poopoo333]

Rest of the odds are up. Beltran has value imo..he won a round by top control against Mitrione and took him down easy.

[poopoo333]

I think Mitrione wins, but his odds suck. I think Roop's size may help him a lot in the Hominick fight. Anybody have any opinions on Wiman/Miller?

I like Wiman at those odds. Wiman has pretty stout takedown defense and Miller has been KO'd before (and Wiman has Ko'd some guys). I think Wiman is somewhat underrated in general, and I actually think he will beat Cole here. Wiman has never been submitted either which is Cole's best chance to win.

[MMA_scientist]

As a matter of fact, I am going to go drop a bet on him right now.

I like Wiman and Roop at + odds. Also, I will betting on Barry....Again.

Why would you ever bet against the Mexicutioner?

[Thewisemann]

I just think Barry is going to show alot of improvement in this fight, and I think the old Pat Barry smashes Beltran.

Which one is the old Pat Barry? The one who gets submitted by Tim Hague?

[Thewisemann]

Yeah, that one.

Just playing Devil's Advocate btw, I don't have much of an opinion on this fight either way.

It's a hard fight to call. I really think Beltran is going to try and bring it to the floor and keep it there. Barry obviously wants to stand and has the advantage there, but I am not sure if he can defend the TD/get back up to his feet enough to get the W.

[Thewisemann]

Barry 2.87u to win 1.29u
Dunham 2.4u to win 1u
Roop 1u to win 1.95u

Replacement Mike Brown steps in to meet Rani Yahya at UFC Fight Night 23

[MMA_scientist]

Damn, that sucks for Yahya. Goes from a totally winnable fight to one where he will probably be a 5:1 underdog.
