UFC Quick Quote: Jon Fitch can't be denied St. Pierre rematch

Jon-fitch-georges-st-pierre_medium

"If I stop [Thiago Alves], I don't see how they could deny me a shot at GSP. At that point I would have stopped someone twice who GSP couldn't finish in five rounds, so I think that's a very strong argument for me to get a title shot. We're both fighting for another crack at GSP, so we both have something big that we want. Mentally, he's matured a great deal in that time period. He was pretty young when we fought.... His wrestling defense is much better and he's harder to take down. He's stronger and I think he's matured physically. Maybe he's a little bit slower. We'll see ... I'm a much better athlete than I was a couple years ago. I'm a much improved fighter from when I first fought, and so is he."

-- Former number one contender, Jon Fitch, makes the case in HDNet's "Inside MMA" that he deserves another crack welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre if he turns in a convincing winning performance against Thiago Alves at UFC 100 on March 27. Fitch -- who stopped a much younger (and smaller) "Pitbull" back in 2006 via technical knockout -- lost a punishing five-round unanimous decision to "Rush" at UFC 87: "Seek and Destroy" in 2008. He's since reeled off three consecutive wins. And he's won 19 of his last 20 -- St. Pierre is the lone blemish during that span. So does another stoppage of Alves earn Fitch another title shot or is the winner of 170-pound between Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley more deserving?

It just means dumb person

You could say the man is as smart as a door knob. Or just call him a knob, for short.

Mac is really aging himself with the old school insults. Mac, these kids don’t use words like knob any more. LOL

And i always laugh to myself when i’m watching maybe Family Guy or some show like this and they use the word Fanny! Here that means pussy,muff,piss-flaps, whatever you wanna call it, but it means ass there right??. As in, getting kicked in the fanny…. Here you could only kick a women in the ‘Fanny’ and it wouldn’t go down to well i’d say imho….lol

The ssecond daughter came and said that she also had peed outa BB. The mother once again apolgized and then her son came into the kitchen.

....eew

On a farm out in the country lived a man and a woman and their three sons.
Early one morning, the woman awoke, and while looking out of the window onto to the pasture, she saw that the family’s only cow was lying dead in
the field. The situation looked hopeless to her — how could she possibly continue to feed her family now?
In a depressed state of mind, she hung herself.
When the husband awoke to find his wife dead, as well as the cow, he too began to see the hopelessness of the situation, and he shot himself in the head.
Now the oldest son woke up to discover his parents dead (and the cow), and he decided to go down to the river and drown himself.
When he got to the river, he discovered a mermaid sitting on thebank. She said, “I’ve seen all and know the reason for your despair. But if you will have sex with me five times in a row, I will restore your parents and the cow to you.”
The son agreed to try, but after four times, he was simply unable to satisfy her again. So the mermaid drowned him in the river.
Next the second oldest son woke up. After discovering what had happened, he too decided to throw himself into the river. The mermaid said to him, “If you will have sex with me ten times ina row, I will make everything right.”
And while the son tried his best (seven times), it was not enough to satisfy the mermaid, so she drowned him in the river.
The youngest son woke up and saw his parents dead, the dead cow in the field, and his brothers gone. He decided that life was a hopeless prospect,
and he went down to the river to throw himself in.
And there he also met the mermaid. “I have seen all that has happened, and I can make everything right if you will only have sex with me fifteen times in a row.”
The young son replied, “Is that all? Why not twenty times in a row?”
The mermaid was somewhat taken aback by this request.
Then he said, “Hell, why not twenty-five times in a row?”
And even as she was reluctantly agreeing to his request, he said, “Why not THIRTY times in a row?”
Finally, she said, “Enough! Okay, if you will have sex with me thirty times in a row, then I will bring everybody back to perfect health.”
Then the young son asked, “Wait, how do I know that thirty times in a row won’t kill you like it did the cow?”

Didn't look improved against Mike Pierce

I’m a Fitch fan, but come on. He barely survived Mike Pierce at ufc 107. Fitch thinks he’s the #1 contender and so does Koscheck. Force these 2 to fight, then we’ll know who the true #1 contender is. And no I don’t give a shit that they both train at AKA. This whole no fighting teammates thing is getting old and robbing me of fights that I want to see.

His standup looked bad in that fight.

Alves is gonna straight hustle him standing. Imagine if an athlete like Kos got his legs absolutely drained and killed by my boy T what would it look like against a slow moving and hulking WW with bad footwork.

The only way Fitch finished Alves is if he blankets him and gives him some warm milk that causes him to pass out. Fitch is not known for finishing, so how the hell is he gonna finish one hell of a tough guy in Alves?

He finished Alves before, but i dont see it happening.

I'd rather see Kos get another Crack at Georges

His stand up has come a long way since their first fight; Kos is the only guy I see giving GSP a decent fight right now at 170; though I don’t see anyone beating Georges at 170. Depends on how the Daley fight goes but if Daley does win that’s an easy one for GSP; Kos would be a more challenging fight.

His standup is better but not even close to GSP's level. Really...

since their last fight the only difference is he suddenly discovered his power which i guess against GSP is always gonna be a question.

Here is one thing though that i suddenly realized and mark my words, after BJ cleans out the LW division, they’re gonna match him up against Fitch in fight where he will truck him and somehow be back in the WW title contention. That fight is easily winnable for BJ.

Why is his chin always in question?

its not like it was a one shotter that KOed him, he took a barrage of punches after the first big one to even go down, let alone how many more he took on the ground before he tapped. until proven otherwise his chin is just fine.

The winner of Kos vs Daley should get the next shot.
Kos has definately improved more than Fitch since they each fought GSP, which makes it much more likely that the fight will be different.

by ArlovsKang on Jan 23, 2010 1:02 PM EST reply actions  

No...

I think GSP would destroy Daley, but on that note GSP destroy’s everyone.
I’m not saying that the winner of Kos/Daley should get the next titleshot ‘cause it would make for a better fight, I’m saying ‘cause I’d much rather see GSP fight someone new who poses more danger to him than anyone else he’s fought.
GSP may very well beat Daley on the ground, but Daley, IMO, has more of a chance of beating GSP than either Kos or Fitch.
Not because he’s a better fighter, but because his main tool just so happens to be 1-punch KO power, something than Fitch sure as hell doesn’t have, and something that Kos advertises a whole 10 minutes before he throws it.

by ArlovsKang on Jan 23, 2010 2:13 PM EST up reply actions  

True

Though I think Daley should fight Alves(assuming he wins) or Johnson first before he gets a title shot.

Agreed on facing Alves if he wins but a Rumble fight, whilst fun to watch, would be pointless if Daley beats Kos

Rumble isn’t in title contention and is coming off a defeat to Kos, that fight would only make sense if Semtex loses to Kos otherwise it’s a step-down for Daley.

Fitch is a let down. Winner of Koscheck v Daley should get it.

I think Daley will win the fight.
The 1st time I saw fitch fight was the GSP fight. I was amazed at how he didnt quit. Then I heard he went to Thialand for a couple months to better his stand up. So I was thinking his fights would get better and better. I was wrong. Every fight after that has been a boring UD. He stands long enough to get bruised then dry humps a guy till its over. If he cant stand he should at least start submitting people. But he needs to do something, otherwise as soon as he gets one loss the UFC will cut him.

Fuck you! I'm an ANTEATER!

Daley has a better chance at beating GSP than Fitch.

Fitch might be extremely durable but he offers nothing stylistically that GSP doesn’t do a million tiems better. Daley on the other hand has better hands than GSP with power to boot. He would easily get routed but at least he has a way to win unlike fitch. I would have said the same about Kos but not anymore with his newfound power.

Yeah, Fitch seems like a really good guy, and he finds ways to win, but I don’t care to see him face GSP again.

by Miketsi on Jan 23, 2010 1:53 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

I dunno

I think Kos’ stand up has improved from a striking perspective, but he still throws those looping punches and leaves himself open. He will get picked apart with jabs…Look at the 3rd round in their previous fight, I know Kos is better but GSP will use his superior striking. He’ll eventually catch Kos.

GSP hasn’t finished many fights lately but he does have knock down power. He knocked Fitch down repeatedly and knocked down Alves as well.

by Shadyone33 on Jan 23, 2010 2:02 PM EST reply actions  

I give props to Fitch for finishing Alves.

But Alves was young and he got caught coming in with an upkick. That was 4 years ago. Since then Fitch has won 8 of 9 fights, with two submission wins and the rest were all decisions. Since losing to GSP, he’s beaten Gono and Paulo but hardly looked impressive, and at the end of the Pierce fight, he got rocked pretty bad and barely stuck it out. When they fought, GSP outwrestled him, and tooled him standing. He was faster and stronger than Fitch who admitted he couldn’t keep up. His standup hasn’t improved any. He would get killed by GSP again. Especially since GSP has gained weight and is supposedly a superior version of his former self.

Honestly, I don’t think he gets past Alves. Alves is huge and he’s been a wrecking machine until he met GSP. I don’t know if he gets finished, but Alves will definitely win the rematch IMO. There’s no way he destroys Alves.

Also the fact that Fitch is simply not a finisher makes it extremely unlikely.

Nah it's too soon for either of them to get rematches, especially Alves

The only chance the winner of that fight gets the next shot is if Hardy and Semtex both win as they won’t ever fight each other. Otherwise the GSP-Hardy winner will face the Semtex-Kos winner and the Fitch-Alves winner will have to win another fight to get the next shot.

He’s not a better fighter and I can’t say he looks anymore athletic. I used to like this guy but he hasn’t improved that much even though he keeps telling us he has. If you compare his progression both physically/athleticism and his fighting ability against that of Alves since they last fought it tells a damning story.

He is getting better with age and experience. Eventually he will pass his prime fighting age and slow down a little bit. The GSP of today could beat any GSP in history, pretty silly argument.

All the good fighters tweak their nipples before a big interview

You didn’t know this? :)

I had to get the Fitch thing off my chest

I feel a bit let down by him because he seemed to have the potential to evolve into a tremendous MMA fighter but he hasn’t. His standup is terrible and his movement is crab-like. Where is he going wrong? Do you think he hit the glass ceiling a few years ago?

by Shoguns Hairy Forearms. on Jan 23, 2010 2:42 PM EST reply actions  

I watched him fight this Canadian dude from my area a few years ago

Before he fought in the UFC. He is still improving and is justifiably ranked second in the world in his weight class. I don’t see any reason to be let down by Fitch. The thing is he isn’t fast enough to compete with 2 maybe 3 guys. You can’t teach speed, at least not at this level.

Stuck in a moment

I think he’s been treading water since he got the mother of all beatings off GSP. He’s still not finishing fights and he’s no more dynamic than the guy who destroyed Alves 4 years ago.

I guess we’ll see if Fitch is no.2 when he faces Alves, I’m pretty sure this fight won’t end the ways the last one did.

Agree

Not sure what Fitch could do to win this fight. Can anyone tell me what Fitch does better than Alves? What can Fitch do to win this fight?

Dry Hump

Fitch will ride his arse (not literally) for 15 minutes if he really wants to win but ultimately what would it achieve for him? Fans will lose interest in him more as it’ll compound his inability to finish fights. His fights just aren’t exciting anymore…..

That said, he will have a sizable reach advantage over Alves and might try and use that to his advantage on the feet…….actually, scratch that, he’d get murdered trying to do that. Just like Kos

I don't think his wrestling is good enough to hold Alves down any more either.

GSP had a really hard time doing it. I don’t even think Fitch can get it to the ground, let alone keep it there.

I don't see anyway Fitch can win.

I think Alves is gonna destroy him, maybe even finish him.

I HATE Fitch, he shoulda lost his fight with Jeff Joslin, who the hell gets an 8 count in mma?

You remember seeing that fight?

Joslin was like two wins away from being somebody. And he lost both of those fights in controversial styles.

That Fitch time out shit in that fight should have gotten him DQ’d.

Can't stand that fight!

Talk about it with Joslin all the time, I guess it haunts him still too! Still to this day I don’t get how Fitch got the split, that fight almost turned me away from the sport!

Never been to Quebec and not going now!

I’d like to see that huge castle (is it a castle or palace?) though

that would be the only reason i would attend Quebec.

Take Chances

Saw fitch up close during and after the fight at 107 – he got beat up pretty good. I think one can argue that fitch looked flat against Pierce -so I am not ready to throw him under the bus especially considering what GSP said about his tenacity. But much like his fight against GSP, Jon didn’t take chances unless it was last resort. I feel he has the ability to be more dynamic but needs to take some chances in order to take it to the next level.

it’ll be a repeat of how GSP beat Alves and Fitch – 5 rds of sparse standing and GNP. period.

Gatti. Dekkers. Pele. Aoki. Kang. Vanderlei. Basillio. Harry Greb.

I think we're finding a problem with the UFC here.

If you lose to GSP, you don’t get to just turn around and fight him every single year until you beat him. These guys are idiots, although boxing is a completely corrupt sport where it seems almost impossible to make a fight they have it right in one regard: you lose to a guy in convincing fashion, there’s really no reason for a rematch, at least not for a long time.. Fitch hasn’t done anything to make me believe he would have any chance of beating GSP, frankly I’m getting sick of all these guys (Cote, Fitch, Koscheck, etc..) Talking about how they deserve rematches.. You guys all got owned.. Take a weekend to cough your balls back into dropping and realize you have a long long way to go before ever deserving a title shot.. They need to focus on their skills, but they’re all so full of pride they can’t admit to themselves that they lost and now their only goal is to fight GSP or AS again as soon as possible. Well guess what, the fans don’t give a shit about your bruised ego, I want to see the fights where I can’t predict exactly what’s going to happen because I’ve never seen it before. Every opponent for a challenge should be new, different, or exciting.. It’s not like a video game where you get 50 chances to beat the boss.

so

Back in the day Randy worked Chuck over. You don’t think chuck should of got another shot? Just trying to understand what your saying.

by BJPennfan on Jan 23, 2010 4:07 PM EST up reply actions  

Chuck had to earn a rematch, he didn't just get it overnight

Alves hasn’t fought since losing to GSP and Fitch scraped a couple of decisions over Paulo and Pierce, neither of whom are top 5 and only Paulo could arguably be top 10. Even beating each other shouldn’t get them fastracked to another fight with GSP when Kos and Semtex have been beating more contenders in convincing fashion lately.

"Wanderlei is focused and well trained...he will easily win this fight, by a large margin and with much better technique."

Anderson Silva on why Wand is going to smash Bisping. Get ready to lose your dignity frosnt.

If Fitch beats Alves #2 or #3 in the div

He will fight GSP again. I said already it maybe after or before Kos /daley. lol

EVERY Fitch fight I've ever seen

is 1 big YAAAAAAAWWWWNNNN.
Plus the guys got ZERO personality. Not good.

LMAO

 Finish alves? Not in the MMA sense, if you catch my meaning. This guy is so boring he didn’t even come close to finishing how many opponents, and how many times was he almost finished? He almost loses every fight, alves should be number 2 not him, I hope alves ko’s him in the first.
