Jon Fitch vs. Josh Burkman 3 booked for WSOF 11

[juddy96]

Makes sense. 3rd times the charm for Fitch? With Palhares and Shields out, the time is now for Fitch to end his trilogy with Burkman on a high note.

I like both fighters and this was the fight I wanted to see once I heard Shields was out.

 

[shonuf]

Not super short notice but still kind of short. I didn't think Burkman would take the fight. Glad he did.

 

[MMALOPEZ]

Good fight, trilogy deciding fight

 

[Slongkong]

YES! this is the fight I wanted too. Burkman can get the hell outta there after this one,

 

[PIT FIGHTER]

Violins of Violence!

 

[YoungBoyd]

So Jon Fitch originally got the title shot coming off a split decision after two straight losses? WSOF needs to do better lol.

 

[VIP1349]

Still a fun fight, Burkman choking him out was one of my favorite moments in MMA last year. Hell of a replacement fight no doubt.

 

[CC27]

Ok for that card on short notice, best they can do I guess.

 

[VIP1349]

So if I am correct this the card we got so far?

Gaethje vs. Newell
Fitch vs. Burkman 3
Guillard vs. Cavalcante
Hamill vs. ???

Still pretty solid, that headliner is the best they've done. Not sure if it's enough for NBC but worth a shot.

You hoping he goes to your favorite org Bellator?

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

I liked the Shields fight but this is an equally good replacement.

 

[thetaylor22]

For some reason I really wanted to see Fitch/Shields but this is an okay fight. Burkman should take it, he seems to have more in the tank at this point.

 

[Junior Cigano**]

Hope Fish goes to sleep again.

 

[Slongkong]

You hoping he goes to your favorite org Bellator?

No, I just want him the hell out of that shitty place much like he does. I would welcome him in bellator though and they aren't my fav. I like all mma I support them though, free fights in prime time. with some of the best fighters in the world

 

[JayPettryMMA]

I'm fine with the replacement. This is the best of a bad situation. It may be an improvement actually over Shields in terms of action, but who could say. K-1 shields could have shown up.

 

[Kingz]

So MMA's greatest trilogy will be delivered after all....thanks WSOF

Infinitely better than the next BFC card. I actually care about every fight here.
