Check it out at Tapology Blog.

Lots of good tid-bits in there.

I have to admit, I haven't enjoyed one of Swick's fights since he dropped to 170lbs, but after speaking with him personally and learning more about his issues, I sincerely hope he makes a full recovery and gets back to a healthy and strong weight so he can enjoy his life more and compete at a higher level. Would love to see a rematch with hardy with a strong, heavier Swick.

Best wishes to Swick. I enjoy watching him compete and articles like this open up to the average fan one of the many things that may be going on behind the scenes.

Very true.

I've been just as guilty as the next guy, but it's important for fans to stop and think about the very real stuggles--both physical and otherwise--many fighters go through before putting their bodies on the line for our entertainment...and for some $$$ :)
