Mike Swick offered fight with Matt Serra on April 17, won’t fight due to arm injury

Mike Swick (14-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) can’t straighten his left arm, much less train or fight.

The UFC welterweight spoke to MMAjunkie.com on
Friday after rumors surfaced of his participation in an
as-yet-unannounced UFC event planned for Spike TV on April 17, the same
date on which Strikeforce is slated to hold their second CBS-televised
fight card.

Swick said the UFC offered a fight with Matt Serra (10-6 MMA, 7-6 UFC) on the quickly
developing card through his management, but he had to turn it down due
to his arm.
