Jon Fitch is 14-3-1 in the UFC, with wins over: Alves x 2, Paulo Thiago, Erick Silva, Mike Pierce, etc.

You'd have to be an idiot to believe he deserved to cut from the UFC.

You'd have to be an idiot if you read anywhere in my post that said he deserved to be cut. I simply understand the mechanics behind it and dont feel its egregious as u emos are making out.Hes been the unofficial number 2 for how long? and hes only headlined how many cards (outside the one with gsp).Thats a telling sign of his lack of value. U dont think dana hates rashad too? guess what irrespective of his lack of fanfare he cud sell tickets and had value

Fitch hasnt exactly evolved like his teammate or switched up his style (ie more aggressive g&p) to reinvent (thus repackaging) himself.Hes that same blue collar bore that wouldnt give up after a one sided fight against gsp..Yet the ufc should keep him employed to waste away his career when they know they'll never stage the gsp rematch? it is what it is.

Everybody knows a Fitch fight is a great time to make a beer run or bathroom break, i've only wanted to watched 3 of his 18 UFC fights (Hendricks/E.Silva/Maia) all hoping he would lose, he hasn't progressed from a decision fighter to a finisher like Dan Henderson, there's just so much ether i can spit about Fitch but i won't i just hope he goes to Bellator and give that Ben "Fitch of Bellator" Askren a good fight

My main issue with him is he fought how he did against Erick Silva because he HAD to which makes me mad as an mma fan because it showed he has the ability to bring the fight, he's durable as shyt and tough to finish, he just adopts a safety first grind. Caught a tough break with the axe but at the same time it really could work out ok for him in a "big" fish small pond way



-P-

Fitch cut is proof that Dana and co. value marketability more than anything. And yes I said marketability and not excitement value because Chael is consistently rewarded despite his boring style.

 

[jackswstd]

Dana becoming more like Vince McMahon every day. I wonder if he does coke?

You implied it

I especially enjoyed his LnP against Erick Silva.

Although he's not a draw, the fact of the matter is, Fitch is one of the best fighters in the WW division. Because of that, he shouldn't have been cut.

so rather than just admit u made a blunder you are just goin stick to that belief and look like a dude with poor reading comprehension? k

and the 1ST round and a half of the penn fight was exciting and didnt have him l&ping too, so? is that suppose to wash away what he made a career out of doing? arguing for arguing sake types

So Fitch LnP'd in the 3rd round?

no he displayed sloppy g&p, what of it?oh i forgot you read posts and then formulate sentences that arent there to construct your argument

 

[thernbroom]

Even their harlem shake video is boring and playing it safe. smh.

Sloppy GnP?

I already stated my stance on the subject, there's no need to further argue.

It looks like Chris Weidman will get the next middleweight title shot against Anderson Silva. According to a report from Tatame magazine, a Silva vs. Weidman title fight is in the works for a July 6th PPV.

Sloppy GnP?

top control in what many scored a 10-8 round with a guy that bruises easily yet he never manages to bust his opponent open? Yeah that's pretty sloppy

I already stated my stance on the subject, there's no need to further argue.

yeah that what I thought

Woodley wants Jake Shields next but Shields wants Koscheck is he beats lawler...If Woodley gets Shields, I actually think he might do Jake like he did Galvao.

Lamas and Zombie might be fighting in the summer.

Fitch and Askren would probably wind up being the ugliest kickboxing match EVER and I actually thought Hieron beat Askren....that'd be a good tourny if those 2 were in it, tho. I'm hyped for Bellator tonight and I don't even know who's fighting

BJ Penn bruises easily? Other than the Diaz fight, when has he really bruised? BJ's known for NOT bruising. You couldn't be more wrong.


Fitch DOMINATED him in the 3rd round, don't give me that 'sloppy GnP' BS.
