With this super long wait before GSP actually gets the title shot, and seeing that he won a DECISION againt JOSH freaking Koscheck, I don't think its a bad idea to have this happen: If (or rather when) Jon Fitch beats Diego, that will make him 7-0 in the UFC. A GSP vs Fitch match would be way better than the GSP vs KOS match. I say that they do it!

Says who? Look, he might beat Fitch and he might not. What was your prediction for GSP/Serra? This is MMA...there are no absolutes. Fitch is better than you think...you just haven't seen him fight enough. GSP is a Stud...no doubt about that, but he has lost a few fights...he's not invincible.

First, you have to get the fights you ask for. He called out Karo after he beat Luigi, but he still doesn't have that fight. -Shonie Carter - Agreed he's not Great, but solid in his day -Jeff Joslin - Controversial, yes....a Win, yes -Brock Larson - Stud (Fitch beat him at 185lbs) -Josh Burkman - For all you Karo lovers - go to ufc.com and see what Fitch did to Burkman, compared to what Karo did -Thiago Alves - Jacked on juice and still got beat -Kuniyoshi Hironaka - Total fkn Stud -Luigi Fioravanti - Not great, but solid -Roan Carneiro - This guy is Underrated! His size would give all the top guys problems Granted - none of these guys are GSP or Matt Hughes, but I wouldn't call them "No one." Diego's in BIG BIG trouble in this fight. I was more concerned about Roan Carneiro by FAR! Diego will get man handled. Fitch's only 2 losses came at 205lbs. Fitch is every bit the grappler Diego is, but he's WAY stronger!

Kros said he rather fight Swick because Fitch is a beast. I think Diego has his hands full. Fitch is like 6 foot and walks around at 190. He's a smart fight and comes up a game plan like Randy Couture does.[/quote] I thought that KROS was a typo at first, but then he did it 3 times. Are you unsure of his name, or it this some type of joke that I am jut not getting? [quote post="3217"]Also fitch was suppose to be on the spike tv show called Ultimate fighter with Diego Sanchez. Fitch was actually at the airport ready to go for the show and like 30 min before his flight, the producers called him and said don't come. I think Fitch wants some payback and Diego is going to feel the pain. [/quote] And that was the best thing to happen to Fitch's career. Look at how much money he is getting per fight, compared to the fighters from TUF 1. KOS just got $10k to fight GSP as the 'co-main event'. Fitch got something like 16/32 or 32/64 against Roan Carniero at an Ultimate Fight Night. [quote post=”3217″]Kros, Fitch and Swick train at the same gym in San Jose so

I THINK DIEGO KNOWS THAT FITCH JUST HAS HEART MORE THEN ANYTHING, BUT THE THING IS THAT DIEGO HAS EVEN MORE SO I PUT THAT IN THE BOOKES AS A FOR SURE WIN AND AN EASY SLEEPER PIC FOR SOME MONEY IN VEGAS!! AS FOR A FORREST UP SET LOL THAT JOHN WAS TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU HAVE SEEN SHOGUN FIGHT EVEN AT ALL LOL THE ONLY UP SET IS THE ATHLETIC COMM LETING THAT FIGHT TAKE PLACE, I THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF A FIGHTER, IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT GO WATCH SHOGUN FIGHT RAMPAGE AND ARONA!!

This will be a great grappling match filled with ground n pound and sunmission action. On the ground the fighters will have to battle it out for positioning. It could b a very interesting fight. If Diego looses let him fight Koschek for the 3rd time. Diego is an annoying weirdo but u gotta respect his fight game. U r only as good as your last fight, but we can't hold that performance against Diego. He was half dead with a nasty staph infection. He was in such bad shape (they thought he had hepititis) that he thougt he had to retire after that koschek fight. Im gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, I expect Diego to come out vs. Fitch ready for war. This will b the fight of the night unless Forrest puts up a better fight than expected vs. Shogun. This is a very tough fight to predict, Im leaning towards fitch. However, Diego will have a chance at pulling off a submission from his back. This will b war!
