News Jon Fitch retires,

[TheNinja]

I didn’t like his style but I appreciated his tenacity and his skill at what he did.

another PED user bites the dust. who the hell cares really.

 

[Willek]

If you listen closely, it's the familiar sound of no one caring.

 

[eddymotto]

We all cheer for different fighters. That’s normal

It’s still sad to read posts where somebody just parrots Dana as a reason to dump on a fighter. I mean, at least be independent enough to come up with your own opinion

Fitch was a really good UFC WW. Fought for the title. Has a better career than 95% of pro fighters. I was never a particular fan but he put on some really good fights. Best of luck to him

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.

No he didn't. He was getting ragdolled by Maia until Maia gassed.

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

Go fighter bash somewhere else...

Young'un.

What happened to the post you quoted? It isn't fighter bashing, Jon Fitch is a confirmed PED cheater.

A real asset to the sport, always came to fight, enjoy your retirement John..

Neiman is the best modern day Gracie. Its no shame in losing to him. Fitch was an all time great even if I didn't like his style. Some people should show some respect.

Who???

i guess the paint finally dried

Very good career. But he’s another fighter that I worry about in terms of what’s he going to be doing for the foreseeable future? Did he earn enough money to actually retire and live on? Or is he gonna be working some shit blue-collar job for the next 20 years to pay bills?

 

[Beastos]

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

kid, patience is key. You'll get there. You have the swing hands at each other already, eventually, you'll learn about grappling, something a little more advance.

 

[Ashen One]

Jeez, dude retires and people bash him lol.

Being a fighter must suck.

 

[kellier]

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.

How was he "overrated back then"? In his prime, Fitch was the consensus #2 active WW for the best part of 5 years.

He went 13-1 in the most stacked division from UFC debut to the Penn draw. His style was tough to watch, but it was extremely effective.

From memory the first round was super dicey for Rory, got mounted early and hung on... Never made that mistake again lol

 

[Foppa21]

Never the same after the ACL (I think it was). Hendricks starching him in his comeback fight didn't help matters much.

 

[DarthChen731]

Good

 

[SamboPunch]

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

haha he's immature because he thinks he's boring and does steroids? What does that even mean?
