Jon Fitch: 'If Josh Koscheck beats Georges St. Pierre, then I'm moving up to 185'

110_medium

Props: Sportsnet.ca (via Cage Potato)

Quoteworthy:

"To me there's no reason to fight a teammate. It's just not a fight we're interested in at all. It's a situation where, if Koscheck is able to win the belt and defend the belt, I will move up to 185. I think I have a good size frame. I can put on 15 pounds. I may have to take a month off or so to put on some weight, but that process may take over a year from now. I'll have fought every welterweight worth fighting by then. [If Georges wins] I'll be waiting on the front doorsteps with flowers [for a title shot]."

Former welterweight number one contender Jon Fitch would rather sacrifice his title aspirations than have to fight friend and American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) team mate Josh Koscheck. Of course a lot would have to happen for that type of scenario to ever play out. In addition to "Kos" defeating fellow TUF 12 Coach and division champion Georges St. Pierre, Fitch would have to overcome the Brazilian "Pitbull" Thiago Alves later this summer. Can the stars align and ultimately boot the wrestling standout to a higher weight classn? Or will Team AKA close out the year 0-2?

fitch is small for middleweight

he comes in at 187lbs he would need to put on some decent muscle which is hard to do.

Fitch used to fight at 205. 185 shouldn’t be a problem for him. It would be interesting to see him competing against some of the 185 pound guys. But he doesn’t have power in his punches.

Fitch won't be able to blanket as many 185lbrs

Fitch’s takedowns n blanket will be slightly less effective at 185lbs maybe enough guys there for D. White to pair him up with to give him 2 consecutive losses D. White hates Fitch and would like to get him out of the UFC… White will replace Fitch at 170lbs with Shields…. they should fight 1st though… Fitch VS Shields wil be the ultimate Blanket Fest!

I agree

Chael actually looks to posture and throw elbows. He doesn’t produce a lot of finishes that way, but he actually beats up his opponent. They leave feeling like they lost a fight in a cage, whereas Unanimous Fitch’s opponents leave feeling like they lost a fight in a prison shower.

So Fitch can’t beat GSP and he won’t fight Koscheck. So why not move to MW since you have no shot at the WW title

Its lose, lose, well…lose for Fitch. No fighting of kos is a loss. Rematching gsp is a loss. Fighting at MW is a loss. But may as well bulk up now and make the move. You’re screwed at WW.

No, everyone at WW should stay at WW.

That way when they become #1 contender at fight GSP, they just get 5 rounds of man love as GSP dry humps them.

Moving up to MW would mean fighting Anderson Silva who, when he wants to, absolutely murders fools.

 They get beat down like a whore! Now how degraded would you feel being able to do nothing but get beat on and humped and unable to do pretty much nothing offensively/ I would rather face Silva too.

Fitch was the only recent opponent that got smashed up by GSP. Sherk took quite the beating back in the day but he is a 155 lb midget.

Hardy looked fine after fighting GSP.
Thiago Alves didnt look banged up
He did beat BJ down a bit, but BJ’s face never shows it.
Fitch looked like something straight out of a Hollywood SciFi movie. He literally looked scary.
Serra’s ribs got battered
Kos took very little damage against GSP
That is already 3 years back.

I think fitch would get smashed by Kos

And i think fitch knows this as well. Just 1 more reason to never fight his teammate.
If i remember they both said the only way they would fight is if it was for the title… But now he say’s he wont even do that? Fuck off

This wont have a chance to happen anyway… Its a longshot to say the least that kos wins the title and defends it… and thats not even mentioning that Fitch also has to beat alves, which wont be easy.

Kos’ wrestling is just as good as UF’s. And even though Kos’ stand-up is hardly technical and refined, he still has the ability to throw a decent punch and connect with it once in a while.

No matter,

Fitch will lose to Alvez. I still don’t get how so many people forget how good Alvez is. I like Fitch, but he will be overpowered and outclassed. After the fight, fans will once again be on the Alvez wagon.

by thinkaboutit on Jun 17, 2010 2:49 PM EDT reply actions  

No way amigo.

Fitch is to tough and will grind Alves just like he grinds everybody not named GSP. Did you forget that GSP did everything but run him over with a truck and he couldn’t finish him? Fitch won’t be dealing with GSP type speed in this fight. He’ll be at a slight disadvantage on the feet but a fairly sizable advantage in the wrestling and ground department.

by Adam T. on Jun 17, 2010 2:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

Disagree.

GSP is a far superior wrestler than Fitch. Alvez stood up several times with GSP on top which no one else has done. Fitch will not be able to keep Alvez down. IMO he won’t even be able to take him down. He doesn’t have the speed and power of GSP’s shot. Don’t get me wrong, Fitch is a great wrestler, but Alvez is one strong MF. Oh, and “a slight disadvantage on the feet”? C’mon man, Fitch would (will) get killed standing with the pitbull.

by thinkaboutit on Jun 17, 2010 3:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Fitch is a big, strong welterweight just like Alves.

The standup that he used (albeit limited) looked better against Saunders. He looked lighter on his feet and was moving well. Alves will have to fear the takedown just as he did against GSP so that could help neutralize the striking further. In my opinion, Fitch is smarter, tougher and more well rounded. I know his fights aren’t exactly edge of your seat type stuff but he gets the wins and is as tough as they come.

TRue

Smart not to underestimate Fitch. And I agree his stand-up has improved, but only with the intention of setting-up the takedown. I just think that when you have the power Alvez does, the wrestling becomes less of a threat. If/when Thiago nullifies the wrestling, Fitch will be in deep trouble. Plus I’m a big fan, and you will be too after the fight!

by thinkaboutit on Jun 17, 2010 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm a fan of Alves too big guy.

He has pretty good takedown defense and if the fight stays standing he can pick apart Fitch and win a decision. I just don’t feel that will happen. Jon Couture, I mean Fitch, will stall, grind on him, ankle stomps, knees to the thigh, yada yada yada and eventually get the fight to the ground.

Moving up a weight class is one thing

but doing it to avoid fighting a teamate is another. He is saying that fighting for the title is not as important to him if he has to fight a teamate?

Of course big fella.

I watch the market all day although I don’t invest to much directly in commodities. Panic and fear tend to be correlated with the price of gold. The gold move can and probably will end in tears.

Large caps and option selling

while taking advantage of the amazing and frequent gifts that you get during panic and fear is how you make money consistently in the market. Sometimes the best move is no move. Don’t be afraid to be really aggressive when others are running scared. That is usually the best time to buy but admittedly very difficult to do. The S&P is off 4-5% since January and I’m up a little over 5%. That ain’t luck stud, it’s years of getting my ass kicked and learning how the game is played.

No double dip ULF.

Inflation is almost nonexistent meaning low rates will be here for a while, earnings are decent and most importantly valuations are reasonable. Don’t get me wrong though there are plenty of headwinds and a slow, difficult recovery is most likely in the cards. That is EXACTLY why you need to learn what a covered call is. In a sideways market you won’t make money but if you’re selling options you will do very well.

Housing and consumer spending has led us out of every “recession” we have ever had. Did you see the latest RE data? or new unemployment claims? Nothing points to a recovery anytime soon.

Sure, manufacturing is up, but it is all bottom line gains, not top line.

I pretty much use three sites

CNBC, yahoo and tdameritrade (also where I trade). I read as many articles as possible, usually just skimming important parts. Watch price action in stocks, areas of resistance and support. Probably the most important thing is that a stock’s reaction to news is more important than the news itself. Just because the news may be bad/good that doesn’t mean that the market (or specific equity) is going to decline/rise. Learning what is/isn’t priced in is the key. For goodness sakes don’t phucking watch shows like Cramer and Fast Money. They change there mind more often than I change my babies diapers.

Your right about a difficult recovery BUT

that is not the important thing Ulf. Stocks are priced for this. Check out some of the earnings multiples of the large cap stocks and of the S&P itself versus historical multiple ranges. It won’t take a lot of good news to continue to slowly push the market higher. You will not see sub-1000 again in my opinion. There is very strong support at 1040-1050, a fabulous area to buy but an area I’m not so sure we’ll see any time soon.

over crowded trades like gold currently is

Gold is not a commodity. Gold has been MONEY for over 6,000 years. The faster you realize this, the better off you will be.

Do this for me. Take the price of gold when Nixon took us officially off the gold standard ($35 fixed/troy oz). Mulitply that $35 bucks by the rate of inflation up until 2010. What is that number in comparison to gold?

I am not a goldbug, but have about 5% of my portfolio in physical gold, bought with cash from my local coin dealer. I am still buying every chance I get.

Gold is a commodity ULF.

You can’t buy anything with gold. It is a commodity that you have to liquidate in order to obtain money. I have never followed it closely which is unfortunate with it’s recent performance. All I’m saying is be careful when you hear so much chatter about the direction (almost all the same way) on any investment. I remember when the dollar was in a nosedive last year and everybody and their mother wanted to short or claimed to be short it. If you would have bought it you would have done very well. Stay away from the noise. Good luck on the gold investment, now I have a reason to pay a little more attention to it.
One other thing though. When I am confident on an investment, I put a lot more than 5% in it. But that’s just me, strike less but strike big and aggressive.

by Adam T. on Jun 17, 2010 4:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

I got kids. Now that I actually have money, I cannot be aggressive.

If you believe that gold is a commodity, that is your choice. I will not argue it with you, but here are a few tidbits/questions about your commodity…

1. Gold is/was accepted currency for the last 6,000 years. There are many countries in hte world that will accept gold as form of payment, today.
2. The answer to my question above is that inflated properly, gold would be at roughly $2,200 an ounce.
3. I have two clients whose families escaped Germany prior to WWII with gold coins, only.
4. FDR confiscated all know physical gold holdings in the 1930’s. Why?
5. In 1962 an American Silver Quarter bought a gallon of gasoline. Today, that same quarter melted down into raw silver and traded for paper money will get you $3, or a gallon of gasoline. Why?

Food for thought. I don’t completely distrust the system, but I need to hedge all my bets. My daughters WILL have a better life than I had.

to adress everything everybody has said about my country...

Thank you for the offer wolf, but I think Id be headed for Norway or Denmark ( free everything if ive heard correctly ) after some learning some new languages. Haha healthcare is free, but it isn’t a perfect system at all, and the rich still get the best treatment- but believe me yours is much worse, and every crazy mother fucker in your southern states should be thanking Obama not berating him for the health care plans. Education is not free, coming from somebody who is planning on attending university next year after travelling- once again though, our system is better than yours; props to McArthur for recognizing this. Oh and Canada’s heroes: Terry Fox, GSP, Sidney Crosby, Gretzky, Tommy Douglas, and whoever first smoked cannabis.

Post secondary education is subsidized by the government at both the provincial and federal levels though DS. I pay about $6200/year for grad school tuition, while the government kicks in roughly an equal amount towards tuition. The same goes for undergrad tuition here. On top of that I get funding from agencies that in turn get funding from the government. Depending on the person and their academic history and field of study this can be in the amount of $15000-$35000/year or so. I make money while going to grad school, but trust me it’s just enough to survive.

remember when thiago withdrawed from his last fight

fitch said if they couldn’t find a fighter for him at ww he said he’d move up to fight at mw. this was before koscheck was next in line for a title.

They are only into him because of his massive size that he uses to get on top of smaller men, while he pounds them. If you are a fan of brock, then you are a fan of packing fudge!

 This is when you know a fighter is not a fighter

A true fighter will fight because he loves to. He will fight anyone at any given chance.(within legal parameters) He will stand as a man, a warrior, a gladiator, a champion and ask for blood in his mouth. He will fight his brother, his father, HIS FRIEND, if that is the challenge that is presented. I am not talking about a fight to the death. I am talking about an MMA FIGHT!! If you are not willing to do this, you are making a mockery of your path. This means that you are nothing but an athlete with a punch. A guy that likes to stay in shape and fight without the heart for it. If this is what he chooses then he might as well stay home, work out on his bowflex and play UFC Undisputed. Be a fighter.

I hate how Fitch always pulls that stupid mean face. It makes me want to see him get his ass kicked. Please Alves, knock him the fuck out.

I second that. I am pulling for Alves big time here, I want nothing less that a vicious KO.

Not to mention he has to get by Alves first anyway, sounds liek he's already looking past Alves?

 It sucks Alves has had problems and not fought in sometime, otherwise I would be pretty confident that we might see GSP and Alves 2. Fitch is tough and is able to control pretty much any opponet besides GSP to this point with his grappling. He’s not a fan fauvorite because his primary weapon is grappling but none the less he jsut wins and thats all that really counts. Alves has to be carefull with his leg kicks because those kicks will make it easier for Fitch to get him to the ground were Alves has problems.

You got nothing to worry about Fitch...

cause when you wake up staring at the lights, after Alves knocks you out. Everyone will know…Alves is the true # 1 contender. You beat Alves when he was the pupbull, but I hardly doubt you’ll get by this version of the Pitbull. Alves by KO before round 2 finishes.
