As Mike Swick and British mixed martial arts fighter Dan Hardy headed into their UFC 105 fight last night, the thought on some people’s minds was that whoever won the fight, would then get a shot at George St-Pierre’s welterweight championship next year.
And according to reports from newsday.com, the person who has that shot is Dan Hardy, after he won the fight by a unanimous decision from the judges. Two of the judges were said to have scored the fight 30-27, with the last judge scoring it a 29-28.

Hardy started off very well, catching Swick with a good punch early on in the first round. And that punch appeared to set the tone for the rest of the fight, with Hardy keeping up the pressure throughout the entire bout and scoring points with power shots.
