Dana White wants Jon Fitch vs Josh Koscheck to determine welterweight contender. Fitch? Not so much (Video)

I agree, I’m tired of hearing it. People go to camps and now everyone at their camp is instantly their blood brother no way they’d fight. It’s BS. Granted Fitch and Kos have been together a long time but what are you in MMA for? to build friendships, or win titles?

Fitch is fucking terrible, I mean great wrestler and I know its how he wins fights, but he’s just fucking terrible the most boring fighter in the UFC by far. He can do that to a STAND UP fighter like Ben Saunders, but GSP? hahaha. Even Koscheck if they stopped bein girls and did fight I think would beat Fitch. Here’s hopin Kos gets dummied by Daley.

Jon beat the shit out of ben. I think it is so funny that people boo Jon last night. And then cheer for gsp when he does the same thing. Jon is obviously the #1 contender in ww. He beat Ben at his own game last night. Fitch’s stand up was much better then Saunders, and every time Jon kicked him in the legs he would almost fall over. How could Dana say that Kos deserves a shot at Fitch when he couldn’t beat paulo and Jon did.

GSP beat the crap out him for 5 rounds and took 1 or 2 of them 10-8.

His stand up is definitley better and he has become much quicker. If you can’t see that you need to stick to WWE wrestling. And why is it ok for Anderson Silva not wanting to fight Machida? But when fitch says it Dana calls him out.

Whynot where have you been? Jon spent weeks in Tailand this past year to work on his stand up. And if you watched any of his fights you would know he has improved.

Everyone this morning is a new dan hardy fan and more and more are hating on fitch.. go back and watch the gsp vs. fitch fight and tell me that guy doesnt have heart. he got pounded on for 5 rounds and was still in gsps face till the very end. Atleast fitch tried to mount some offense in that fight instead of just being a human takedown bag. It seems to me like dana white just does not like fitch.

Just dont get all the hate for fitch. Everyone forgets his fight with GSP. I dont even care if he gets the title shot or not but why hate on a guy for being a great wrestler and compiling a 12-1 record in the ufc.?

I don’t see a point in GSP doing any rematches just yet. I think what Dana says he can’t talk about yet is Jake Shields. I think it’s a done deal and he’ll get the next shot at GSP, there’s no-one else (apart from Nick Diaz) in the divsion that stands a chance. A fight with Daley will go the same way as Hardy and Alves.

And I was miserably bored during all of them. I don’t care how many weeks he’s spent in Thailand working on his striking. I understand and accept that he doesn’t possess any semblance of knockout power. However, when you aren’t making even the slightest attempt to finish your opponent by way of submission or taking a chance and expending a lot of energy to finish an opponent via GnP, then who give a flying f***k how much bs “improvement” he garnered in Thailand.

Fitch can whine about “fake fans” wanting to see blood and guts all he wants. He can say “a win is a win is a win”. But in professional sports, winning isn’t the only thing. People don’t pay $50 hard earned dollars to watch a lay and pray clinic or humpfest. That’s why you don’t see amateur NCAA wrestlers in college competing in PPV wrestling leagues. Because NO ONE wants to watch that.

If Fitch simply wants to grind out his sure-fire win and not take any chances, fine. But don’t expect the UFC to put a lot of marketing behind you and don’t expect to be given a title shot every four fights when you were demolished in the last matchup and have only lain on other men in all of your subsequent fights and decisioned ALL OF THEM.

Then you have the audacity to challenge the promoter who pays your f*****g bills and refuse to fight the other true top contender in the welterweight division while simultaneously bitching about how you aren’t getting your due? Give me a break.

I used to respect Jon “Human Blanket” Fitch before and right after the GSP fight. Now I think of him as a petulant child who always wants his own way and can’t accept that what he’s doing isn’t appealing to fans who buy fights to watch fights. Grow up, young man. Grow up.

Fuck fitch, kos would kill him anyways, The only fight I wanna see right now at ww for the title is koschek vs gsp because kos is the only guy that has the combination of great wrestling and powerful standup to have a competitive fight with gsp.

Daley-Hardy, GSP and any other person at tri-star/jackson’s, I understand why he’d want those fights, hell I wanna see em too, but I also understand where the fighters are coming from. It’s bullshit that Hardy got the title shot, especially when theres dudes like Fitch and Kos tearin shit up by beating the best in the division. Fitch isn’t the most exciting fighter to most people, I’ma fan of the guy so i’m not bored during the fights, I like wrestling and ground games. But he does show the same dominance in the ring as GSP, takin guys out of there game and controlling the pace of the fight. 12-1 is an amazing record, especially at that level of competition, I understand people want to see some fresh faces but look at the Hardy-GSP fight, all people are gonna do is complain when GSP takes em down and dominates them anyways.

Fitch has showed good stand up in his last few fight, but he knows his strength. Check out his fight against Akihiro Gono, great stand-up and he used every weapon in his arsenal. Unfortunately it wasn’t aired and was an undercard cause Dana White was pissed that he wouldn’t signed the rights over to his name indefinitely!!!! with no monetary gain!!!! Oh and the reasoning was for a dumb video game but that would have ment that Fitch would have had to pay to use his own name from then on. Dana is an idiot and ever since has hated Fitch cause he doesn’t take shit and isn’t a pussy. The crowd was being so ridiculous by even boo’ing Fitch when he was in the clinch throwing great knees. If you want stand up with no ground and clinch go watch a boxing bout everyone and take off the tapout shirts……there a lot more to mma then blood and pain.

then he’ll get the next shot at Gsp.

Shields is coming to the ufc win or lose against hendo. Shields is pissed that all the ads and commercials promote only hendo and not him. He is also looking to get paid, and the ufc is willing to pay him. I heard form a very good source that indeed GSP will fight Shields. Winner of Kos and daley will fight fitch for next shot at gsp. So if it is kos, dana will make him fight fitch, if he wont paulo thiago will get the next shot9deserving or not. This is from a very reputable source.

Fighters are separated into two teams, but often times it’s two members of the same team that have to fight in the finals. And the teams don’t serve much of a purpose other then to create drama between coaches. This is what I love about MMA, no teams. It’s what for me makes MMA the PINNACLE of sport competition. The utilization of more skills then any other sport, and it’s one on one. But I do see it as a sport. And that means you act as sportsman. To say you won’t fight someone because he’s your friend is unsportsman like to me. Maybe the expression mixed martial arts isn’t as appropriate as say combat SPORTS, as it refers to it as a martial art and not a sports competition.
