There was probably no more controversial cut in UFC history than a few months back when Jon Fitch was given his walking papers with a 14-3-1 record, and a top 10 ranking in the welterweight division.

The controversy came to a head once again this week as Fitch was ready to make his first fight outside the UFC since he was an unknown back in 2005. UFC President Dana White had cited Fitch's 1-2-1...

Two hard-nosed welterweight veterans will square off in a rematch tomorrow night (June 14, 2013) as Jon Fitch takes on Josh Burkman in the main event of World Series of Fighting 3 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fitch has been going through a rough patch, while Burkman is experiencing the best run of his mixed martial arts career. The table could be set for a very interesting 170 pound showdown.

Ex-UFC contender Jon Fitch and UFC president Dana White engage in a back-and-forth about UFC pay.

Only a little over a week away from his first fight since being cut from the UFC, Welterweight Jon Fitch let off some steam about his former employer at the World Series of Fighting 3 conference call on Thursday. Fitch went as far as to say his time with the UFC was like being "in a hostile work env...

John "Doomsday" Howard wants back in. The former UFC welterweight has done everything in his power to prove he deserves another chance in the promotion.

You knew Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White wasn't going to let recent comments by disgruntled ex-employees Jon Fitch and Quinton Jackson go without a response, and on Thursday (June 6, 2013) evening he gave one loaded with hard-hitting material.

When Fitch came out swinging on the World Series of Fighting (WSOF): "Fitch vs. Burkman" media call on Thursday afternoon, it wa...

By all accounts, Jon Fitch is a contented man these days. Yet as he prepares to make his debut under the WSOF banner, a promotion which couldn't be more thrilled to employ his services, it was inevitable that Fitch would be asked to reflect back on his roller coaster nine-year stint within the UFC umbrella.

"From very early on, I was fighting for my job every single fight," Fitch said on a Thurs...

Zuffa has spent the last few days adding bouts to the debut show on UFC on Fox Sports 1 in Boston on August 17th, and all I can say is wow. The six-fight main card is amazing for a free show, and the prelims are pretty nice too. In the last day or so, three undercard fights have been added - a light heavyweight battle between Cody Donovan (8-2, 1-0 UFC) and Ovince St. Preux (13-5, 1-0 UFC); a...

(God damn right.)

It's official, Nation: Chael Sonnen vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua WILL headline UFC on FOX Sports 1:1, a.k.a "the best television card the UFC has ever done." While at first glance, a fight between two guys coming off losses doesn't seem like a great main event for a card this stacked (and makes you wonder if the UFC had a planned main event to begin with), it's surely a matchup ...

The Uriah Hall experiment, take two.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is giving The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17 breakout star a second chance to live up to the hype following last season's combat sports reality show, pairing him off with fellow middleweight and TUF veteran Nick Ring.

Talk about a hostile work environment.

Jon Fitch held a 14-3-1 record in his seven and a half year UFC career, earning a title shot and regularly holding the number two ranked position in the unofficial welterweight rankings, but that didn't score him any points with his superiors.

The American Kickboxing Academy standout had to fight tooth and nail to earn his title shot against Georges St. Pi...
