[Local Plata]

I am born the same place as Jon fitch even meet his family several times and I got to say he had a great career and I wish him the best in his life and I hope he enjoys it with his two kids

Czechoslovakia?

Czechoslovakia?

lol No

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

GSP beat him to retirement twice on top of destroying him in the cage. He was a poor mans Colby

lol No

I was just busting your balls for that run-on sentence with bad grammar and no punctuation, it read like an eastern bloc translation from 1990.

Still remember when he was smiling against Hendricks and got knocked out like a second later. Seriously though, he had a nice career and good retirement

I'm sorry, I suck at typing on a phone, I'm from Fort Wayne like Jon.

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.

Hes pretty much tight though. He was never particularly exciting to watch but during his prime years he was second only to GSP.

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

I bet the only time that guy follows mma is when it regards Conor.

If the rankings weren't so UFC centric, he should rightfully still be in the top 10 today.

He was as solid at number 2 as GSP was at number 1.

His style wasn't exciting but he was really good at it and it got him the W.

Lol you're good dude.

Fitch is pretty badass, grindy tough dude. The beating he took from GSP was insane.
That was my most anticipated fight on the weekend, and Neiman looks like a very promising guy.
Hope Fitch enjoys his retirement.

Lol, that’s my guess too dude.

 

[VitorReem]

I thought he was retired in like 2007

 

[bjpenngoat]

Honestly this guy deserves way more respect hes a legend just for the fact that he has been fighting into his 40s and winning against very good comp.

 

[philweed]

He gave us some good fights. I hope he enjoys his retirement.

 

[imbossing]

Top favorite fighter for me

GSP beat him to retirement twice on top of destroying him in the cage. He was a poor mans Colby

Prime fitch would beat colby

Colby could barely beat barbena

 

[Calipwnia]

Prime fitch would beat colby

Colby could barely beat barbena

Nah, totally disagree. They are the same grinding style but Colbybhas better hands.

 

[scorpipede]

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.

Maia took him down and controlled him pretty well for a bit, didn't he? Maybe I'm thinking of a different fight. Rory won convincingly of course but I could swear I remember him having to get out of a tough spot in that fight.

 

[DoopidyDawesome]

Never was a big fan of his style but hats off to a good career and to never coming off as a shitty person.
