View more of Combatlifestyle.com's coverage of the presser here. Tracy Lee gives context to the above picture:

"It was pretty humorous as Dan Hardy brought Mike Swick a trophy that said, Runner Up. When Mike stepped up to the podium his response was, "I'm glad I got runner up at the Press Conference. Looks like i'll be handing this back to you Saturday Night!!" You can check the UFC website for the video of it!!"

I haven't seen video of it, but if you find it please post in the comments.

UPDATE: Video of the press conference is here.

Swick is not buying the head games like Davis did. Love the retort. Hardy is insuring himself a job by being great at promoting his fights. I think its cheesy, but anything that gets people talking about your fight is a good thing for him.

Swick is always a class act. Real respectable. Reminds me of a younger Randy Couture.

Hmmm

Beating Goulet and calling for a title shot? Abusing Killa B for holding him and stopping himself getting hit? Not Randy classy. He is still classy though.

Randy Spanked Tito just for the record not totally classy but more or less agreed

Swick's got this

Swick is the more well-rounded fighter while Hardy has some good standup and some heavy hands (and just average at everything else). There is a case for Swick to get a Title shot after this fight, but I personally don’t see a case for Hardy to get a Title shot even if he wins.

Sure he’s more well-rounded, but Swick doesn’t try to do anything but throw hands. Hardy has better boxing, and could definitely take this fight.

Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.

I know how much we hate the wrestling shit mixing with MMA

But Swick really should have told Hardy he was going to shine up that trophy real nice, turn it sideways and shove the sum bitch straight up his monkey ass!!

I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!
