"I wasn't that beat up. Just a little off in the head after the first dropedge. I'm fine and will be back before the end of the year if I have any say in it."
Top welterweight contender Jon Fitch is eager to return to the Octagon after missing out on an opportunity to topple Georges St. Pierre at UFC 87: "Seek and Destroy" and capture his 170-pound title. Despite "being a little off in the head" early in the five-round fight, Fitch managed to hang on until the very end, delivering one of the gutsiest performances of the year. It would be no surprise to see him take on the winner of the welterweight bout between Karo Parisyan and Yoshiyuki Yoshida at UFC 88: "Breakthrough" on September 6.
