Mike Swick was set to fight for the first time in nearly a year. Instead, after losing his opponent, he’ll wait some more.

Swick was scheduled to face David Mitchell at the UFC’s Fight Night 23 “Fight for the Troops” card at Fort Hood, Texas, on Jan. 22. But according to his Facebook page, when Mitchell had to pull out of the fight with an injury it forced Swick to take a look at his own medical situation. The decision was made to pull off the card, as well, rather than wait for a replacement opponent.

Fittingly on a Veterans Day, the UFC made it official Thursday the Fight for the Troops 2 event will be held Jan. 22 in Fort Hood, Texas,

The UFC again will partner with the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund to raise funds for soldiers with traumatic brain injuries.

“It’s always a great honor for us to entertain the men and women of the military by bringing them some great fights while raising money for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund,” said UFC president Dana White. “It’s the least we can do for the people who are defending this country and making so many sacrifices for our freedom, and this is a cause the UFC will always support.”

Two days after undergoing an experimental treatment for his ongoing esophageal issues, UFC welterweight Mike Swick told MMA Fighting on Thursday that he’s “optimistic” about his fighting future for the first time in a long time.

“I can tell already from waking up this morning that it’s already improving,” Swick said. “Pretty much, the way it was before I woke up miserable every day.”

Swick said it will still be a few more days before he knows for sure whether the botox injection in his esophagus had the desired effect of paralyzing his esophageal muscles in order to stop the spasms. While the treatment, which involved probing into his throat while he was sedated but semi-conscious, was “not super-pleasant,” he said, things are already looking up.
