News Jon Fitch retires,

[KID Yamamoto]

Just announced it in Bellator after a loss. Like his style or not he was one of the best Welterweights ever for years. Hespect

 

[CieloLuce]

Cool...hope he enjoys his retirement.

 

[Berkowitz]

I watched his fight with GSP and he got destroyed.

Boring juicehead, won't be missed

When you grow up you’ll understand how fighting works a little more.

 

[xP]

he was one of the best WW ever for years? that doesn't make sense.

dude was overrated back then and he sure doesn't rate all time.

 

[Dirge]

Bizarre that fitch went to a draw with rory and then lost to the guy that rory controlled easily.

Rory has one of the best ground games in WW. He handled Maia pretty damn easily as well.

t.Paul Daley.

Who???

When you grow up you’ll understand how fighting works a little more.

I do, and it doesn't look like laying on someone for 25 mins doing zero damage.

But keep pretending you found him exciting, hipster.

 

[Ufcmaster]

Jon Fitch announces retirement would be a better headline.

Let's see how he feels 24hr later

And then if he really retires let's wait six months later to see if it's a real retirement

I wouldn't say he controlled him easily, but yeah Rory is a great grappler.

He definitely didn't hand Maia easily though. Maia was all over him and Rory did all he could to survive until the second round where he kicked maia in the body a ton and wrecked his gas tank.

Give it time kid. You’ll understand mma as time goes on.

Give it time kid. You’ll understand mma as time goes on.

Already do, and there's a reason Fitch was cut from the UFC in his prime.

 

[Krushey]

Thought he retired like 5 years ago.

meh.

Rory outstruck Neiman on the feet, Fitch can't do that.

Plus Rory has never been the best defensive wrestler.

Fair enough. he handled prime woodley pretty easily as well.

 

[Sweater of AV]

It's time. He was never the same after facing Baby Jay. Hope Fitch enjoys retirement.

 

[Strychnine]

He is widely considered a boring fighter and a confirmed PED cheat. Even Firas called him a dirty juicehead.

Facts don't care about your feelings kiddo.

And the rules of this board doesn't care about you "keepin' it real."

Go fighter bash somewhere else...

Young'un.

 

[MDoza]

I will always remember Fitch for getting blasted by Hendricks.

Seriously though, Fitch was a big part of the history of the welterweight division. Despite his not-so-fan-friendly style, Dana did him dirty. Hope he enjoys his retirement.

 

[Strychnine]

Facts aren't fighter bashing.

People call Jones, Brock etc. juiceheads all the time without punishment.

Keep crying though, it brings a smile to my face.
