Just listened to Swagger's interview with Ariel.
Swagger says he will not wait so long to debut like Punk. He will aim to fight twice next year. He is signed to a guaranteed deal with a flat rate with tv rating bonuses (
). He's signed for 6 fights. He trains at a jiu jitsu gym right now on his off-days, he is not part of any big gym. He's been training for 8 months, aiming for a debut for next April.

Should be interesting.
Wonder if he'll have good ol J.R. in his corner

Definitely interesting and I'll be watching. Kind of a shame he waited so long, but he wouldn't be the first to get a late start.
I could see him having some success in Bellator for sure. Wrestling is the best base to have in MMA, especially if you're starting late.

Swagger actually has a legit wrestling background as an All-American at Oaklahoma.
Punk just pretended to be a tough guy because he's angry at everything.

It was a wrap for him when they moved him from ecw and made him do retard faces
Hopefully he goes to a big gym and goes all in here. The closest major gyms to him (Combat Club, American Top Team, Blackzilians) are 3 hours away.
