UFC Quick Quote: Dana White would make Josh Koscheck vs Jon Fitch fight if it made sense

"I whispered to him, I said, 'Now I'm doing the Jon Fitch fight.' That's what I said to him. He said, 'Good luck with that.' I don't know. I'm just f*cking with him. If the fight made sense, because there was a time when those two were both going like this (towards each other), but if the fight made sense, yeah, I'd try to make it. I wouldn't do it just to do it."

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White tells members of the media last night after the UFC 143 post-fight press conference that now that Josh Koscheck has parted ways with long time training camp American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) in San Jose and will now be training in Fresno, he would not mind putting together a long desired match-up between Koscheck and long time training partner Jon Fitch. Throughout the years, the two have consistently been atop the rankings of the UFC welterweight division but have often stated they would never fight each other due to their close friendship and status at AKA. With "Kos" on a two fight win streak and winning his last five of six and Fitch losing his last time out against Johnny Hendricks, it may be a while before the two are even again on the rankings boards. However, should they ever reach that level, Koscheck is still sticking to his guns that it will never happen. No word if Fitch feels the same way. Anyone hoping this fight ever comes to fruition? Or did this ship sail long ago?

love it!

The fight itself would be one of the worst we’ve ever fucking seen. A full fucking fight of position wrestling with nary a strike thrown, worse than any Ben Askren fight, but the precedent would be set.. This is NOT a team sport! Been calling for this for a while, mostly to slide Fitch out the picture bcuz Kos should have the advantage, but if they both reject the fight when its presented & get fired, that works for me too!

This fight will be for the metrosexual title

"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,

I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."
