UFC veteran, original ‘Ultimate Fighter’ competitor Mike Swick diagnosed with cancer

One of the original competitors on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ is in the fight of his life at the moment.

Mike ‘Quick’ Swick, who competed as a light heavyweight on TUF 1 and had 15 UFC appearances, revealed on Instagram that he was recently diagnosed with cancer, but has had cancer in his body for at least seven months.

Sometimes life throws you lemons, and then sometimes the whole lemon tree falls on your head.
