Prediction: wrong Fitch   wrong Decision  

What can a Fitch supporter say to those who don't want to hear it?  Not much.

He lost twice in a long career, and many believe his loss to Hendricks wouldn't happen again ever.

How many people could escape a rear naked choke against Fitch did against Erick Silva?

Today, the tapology house ranks Fitch #6.  How long will it be before the UFC ever lets him fight those 5 guys?
I say they never will.  They are trying to run out the clock until Fitch's skills start to decline.  Until then, they will offer him Marquardt, Saffiedine, Cote, Siyar, etc.  Anyone but a hard contender.

As much as I dislike fitch. I think he has arguably the best SD in the UFC.

I'm pretty sure Leonard Garcia has the best SD in the UFC.

@Anik  I'm guessing that is sarcasm.

Fitch probably does have the best sub defense but he better not tempt fate by getting put in an RNC or triangle. Maia' s subs are very slick and tight (yes, it is possible to be both).

Did you Maia pickers forget that Maia lost to Munoz and could not finish Santiago or Kendal Grove? What makes you think he can submit Fitch? 

There is no way to know if Maia would've actually beat DHK, So to give him credit for a freak injury landing in a weird ass position is not warranted. And Rick Story.... You guys should all know how terrible he is when he is on his back. The last time Maia went 3 rounds he looked like a sloth in slow motion fighting Weidman taking the fight on a weeks notice, his cardio looked absolutely terrible.

Fitch fought a game Erick Silva, that kid has talent.  I think Fitch has got some momentum back and will win this one.  Maia has a slim to none chance of hitting a sub and if he does he's gonna have to get it quick.  Fitch DEC.

Yeah, Garcia got submitted by a submission rarely used in MMA because of how difficult it is. Best SD defense my ASS.

Fitch has pulled out of close calls with even the best submission specialists in MMA. Maia's gonna get dry humped for 15 minutes.

Agreed.

I also think that if Fitch fights Hendricks again he dominates. It's JDS/Velasquez all over again. You get caught and people forget just how good you really are.

Hear me UFC fighters and hear me well.  If Dana either doesn't like you for whatever reason, or if he thinks your style of fighting isn't favorable to his business, PLEASE DON'T LOSE A FIGHT!  EVER!!!

Because if you do, Dana will use that as his worthless, lame alibi to drop your level of competition, and he does is like a Kennedy.  A past master at screwing you PERMANENTLY.  

So, you cannot afford to lose a fight.  If Fitch or Hendricks lose another fight, they will be made to pay for it with compound interest.  Many times over.

When the #2 WW (Fitch) lost to the #18 WW (Hendricks), White flipped them in his head.  Fitch was then given opponents appropriate to #18 (Simpson, Silva, Maia), and the former #18 WW (Hendrics), suddenly was given opponents formerly given to a #2 WW (Koscheck, Kampmann, Ellenberger).

So, if Dana doesn't like you, DON'T LOSE.  DON't LOSE!  Or you'll be sorry forever.

On the other hand, if Dana loves our ass, losses won't matter.  Ever.  Liddell, Penn, Wanderlei, Hughes.
It really pays to lick the ass of Massa Bossman.

I hope Maia somehow knocks Fitch the **** out in 8 seconds, similar to how Hendricks did. I'd like Jon Fitch fans to have something else to whine about.

http://www.Tapology.com/forum/open/410516-JON_FITCH_WW_DIVISION Theres my personal opinion on Fitch. Fitch is good for sure but overrated and as long as Maia chooses to grapple he will win

Bill's usual Fitch ramblings, nothing new here. He made that point about a thousand times. I'm not even gonna front.

I guess it's what old people do, telling the same story over and over again...
