Something that I have never looked into is what Jon Fitch's tattoo says. Sacrifice, apparently.

Rory will finally get to follow in GSP's footsteps by giving Jon Fitch a horrible and prolonged beating.

I'm glad Fitch still gets to make some money, but that's a loving Bay Area Bob Cook rear end signing. He's so far removed from the UFC that he doesn't get any rub off as a memorable UFC guy for casual channel hoppers. His reputation amongst the kind of hardcore fan that would buy tickets to a Bellator show is that he's boring as poo poo. He's broken down, but not in the Phil Baroni tier where you can guarantee he's not going to derail like Paul Daley or whoever else you have. It's just some weird chicanery waiting to happen.

Everytime I try and remember how that fight went I can only picture Fitch with his back to the mat clinging on for some reason, but no, Georges really did beat the gently caress out of him, lol.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
I thought Fitch retired because of brain injury after his fight with Jake Shields

On paper it is, and that's how it should stay.

Rizin uploaded another one of their documentary things which is mostly about Crocop destroying old man TK. But it made me go and flick through the episode before that because I didn't see anything about it and it has the most Japanese post fight speech of all time (it has English subtitles). You're a good man, Japanese Dave Strasser.

Given the way Maia and BJ outwrestled Fitch (while BJ could breathe, anyway) I feel like this would be extremely one-sided.

I feel like Fitch could Fitch all over most the welterweights in Bellator, but the ones(maybe one) he couldn't would hurt him very badly.

Warren still has a chin, but it's realy his only attribute of note at this point. He should really have retired ages ago.

He looked like a differnt figther after those the first two minutes, he either adrenaline dumped after Taminglo got up after his first takedown, or was hurt after eating those shots in the first.

yesssssssssss

Daley is going to spend weeks trash talking Fitch into standing with him, and Fitch will say "ok" and then clinch and go for a trip takedown in the firs t10 seconds. It will be amazing.
