News Jon Fitch retires,

[Pancake Sprawl]

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

he got cut because he had problems with Dana and constantly complaining publicly about his treatment. they didn't cut him because he was boring. if that was the case they'd cut Usman too.

 

[Strychnine]

You don't need to post gifs of yourself bro

You do you homie. I'm out.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

In that case he should've kept his mouth shut.

The reason why he was an afterthought to the UFC was because he was so boring.

how is he an afterthought? he was still competing in Bellator and somebody just made a thread about him that me and you are currently posting in lol

Respect to Fitch for a great career
2nd best ww on earth for a long time, probably would have been champion if Gsp wasn’t there .
Totally deserves to be in the ufc hall of fame

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Was never a fan but I do respect him, Fitch had a very respectable career. Do I think he’s an all time great? Fuck no, but overall his record is pretty solid.

Was cut Post Prime, don't worry you'll eventually get there, just need some time kid

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.

Ehhh, he didn't handle Maia easily. Maia won round one very convincingly, then Maia got Rory down in round three, too, but rory fought his way back up and won a competitive fight of the night with his striking, and it was actually closer than it should have been on the feet too.

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.

Agreed job Fintch was hecka boring

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.

Yeah i'm not seeing the issue

He was claimed boring by his employer and fans. He was one of the biggest advocates and shit talkers of PED usage and then he goes and gets caught with PEDs........

Did Rory also train with the Danaher death squad like GSP did?

No, he got cut because he was boring. It’s true.

He was literally called a blanket here. As you know.

Respect to his career nonetheless.

The dude that cried about steroids for years only to get popped for steroids

Bye Felicia

 

[McSpikes]

Maia kicked his boring ass out of UFC in embarrassing fashion

 

[mime]

Neiman gracie is legit

 

[maximus__]

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

Fitch got Fitched but with someone actually trying to finish him. Fitch was a good fighter who could make anyone look bad. If he actually went for subs he would have ended up having a better career and more fans. Good fight to go out on though.

 

[GoodBadHBK]

He should have been WW champ, he beat Rory imo

 

[pick999]

i guess the paint finally dried

 

[West Linn]

I'll always remember him as a juice head

 

[Fight Professor]

I watched his fight with GSP and he got destroyed.

The GSP fight and the Hendricks fight are the first things that come to mind when thinking about Fitch.
