I think Fitch is a smart enough fighter not to fall prey to a one trick pony.

Before Burkman hit him with that vicious DDT I would have agreed!!

@CthulhuJones 

I'd like to think so. Who do you think I'm rooting for? (See AV) However there is a difference between being smart enough to avoid something and simply NOT physically being able to avoid something. Harris will get into the clinch, drop down, and go for a heel hook, reverse heel hook, ankle lock, reverse ankle lock, knee bar, reverse knee bar....etc. When you have that stump for a man drop down and those bowling balls for biceps torquing on something, its a different story. 

ALL Belcher did in his training camp was strictly leg lock defense. I mean, literally everything.

I don't think Fitch will give him the chance to go to his bread and butter. You can't leg lock someone when you're on your back with a guy in your guard/half guard. It wouldn't shock me if Rousimar took his leg home with him though. Fitch is clearly on the downside of his career, and Rousimar is arguably better than ever.

It's just bad juju when some other people might not have gotten their picks in at all cuz they thought they had more time.  It's not like we can hand out free drink tickets to make up for it.

Looks like if UFC keeps going the way it is we'll be able to catch most of the main-card on this card.

Maybe the UFC will stall a bit just to mess with WSOF.

Looks like we'll get to see at least the Co-main & main-event depending how Dos Santos-Miocic goes.
