Jon Fitch has said the fighters were better during his era because....

[Fedor5723]

They fought less fights a year. Any truth to this? What does this mean?

Less fighters = more stiff competition?

Less filler fights?

Winning streaks meant more?

He thinks men should go their own way

If this was true, I'd expect Gregor Gillespie to be champ by now.

Fitch hasn't been making a lot of sense lately, whether it's regarding MMA or not.

 

[Skarsgard]

His camp didn't fight often because they constantly injured each other sparring. Fitch is a fucking potato.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Fitch was a good fighter would have been the WW champion were it not for GSP.

 

[Steve Fox]

..because he got punched in the head for at least 20 years.

Nah The Game evolved MMA it's superior now and in 2050 MMA will be superior to 2023 the fight game always evolve.

I think he got hit in the head too many times. The guys in his era fought way more than these guys now days. Chronic inactiveness is probably the worst thing about modern fighters. Fighting twice a year is considered "acitve".

 

[Alpha_T83]

I mean clearly the quality of MMA fighters is getting better as the sport evolves.

Meet Jon a few times and he was a pretty cool dude but when he starts talking about certain things he definitely through me off

 

[NoSmilez]

I think it's the same thing. The UFC tries to get people with around 10 fights unless they are some sort of specialist or young prospect. The main difference is that in the past you can win 3 fights in a row and it's good enough for a title shot claim. It's not like that anymore.

That shit was fucking wild at the time, but less impressive now knowing Johnny was juiced to the fucking gills
