No, the phone company is from there, though.

BTW - soon they’ll be “click-to-talk” feature for the show, so no phone calls necessary.

[quote post=”3255″]WAT??? How is Fitch NOT being babied, but Diego is??!! Diego has been fighting top talent and the only people Fitch has been fighting are Low B/High C level fighters. [/quote]

Fitch was not babied. If you baby a fighter to build him up, you TELEVISE his fights. Bisping and ESPECIALLY Huerta are being babied (mostly because their demographics are what the UFC is after right now), and EVERYONE of their fights are televised. Huerta ONLY fighs UFC newcomers and EVERY one of his fights have been on the main card.

Meanwhile you have Jon Fitch, who prior to the Roan Carniero fight, only had one of his prelim fights televised at the end of a PPV. So he was 5-0 before being on the main card.

He was NOT babied. He has been HELD DOWN so Dana’s little TUF poster boys can have all the fame. But its all good now, because Jon Fitch is making more money than the TUF alumni AND he is going to whoop each and every WW’s ass until he gets his title shot against GSP!

thats because Fitch was a nobody. He was stuck fighting on the prelims for a while. He fought his ass off to get a shot at Diego. Kevin I never said that diego was babied….. but some are babied: Bisping, huerta, etc.

I wanna know when we are gonna get to c TUF alumni fight each other.

Forrest vs. Rashad
Bisping vs. Jardine

[quote comment=”143542″]I just wanna give props to Fitch because unlike diego and a lot of other stars of the ufc, fitch wasn’t babied and posterized and made a name for himself through hard work! I really enjoyed watching Fitch climb through the ranks, he’s always been a very exciting fighter to watch and I can’t wait to watch him bring it to Diego and show everyone that he belongs among the elite in the welterweight division![/quote]

U r absolutly right…. Fitch got no recognition for a while… he just kept “bringing it” everytime he got in the cage….and now everyone knows who he is…. Hats off to Fitch…. It just comes to show that you dont have to be a TUF poster boy to make it. Good for FITCH… its refreshing to c a young guy not being spoonfed making it to the top of the UFC ranks!

I’ll b rooting for him.

If he can stay away from Diego’s submission’s he should TKO his way to a victory….but it will b very tough

Question to Ali Sonoma: WHY????????
Her and Diego prolly do yoga and pilates together
