Mike Swick Signed to Fight Ben Saunders at UFC 99 in Germany
Welterweight fighters Mike Swick and Ben Saunders have agreed to fight at UFC 99, which takes place on June 13th in Cologne, Germany.
This will be Mike Swick's first fight since his win over Jonathan Goulet at the UFC Fight for the Troops event in December 2008. Since that victory, Swick has been recovering from a broken bone in his foot, traveling, and training. His opponent, Ben Saunders, defeated newcomer Brandon Wolff on the same Fight for the Troops card.
Swick vs. Saunders is expected to be a main card bout, also featuring a main event between former middleweight champion Rich Franklin and former Pride champion Wanderlei Silva.
