why have they not given Fitch the same route before a title shot at GSP??,they should have had him face KARO,JOS,then if he won on either of these fights then he should have a title shot with GSP…

MONEY is the name of the game..

this is the way i see this happening….

GSP beats Fitch,GSB will be Rematched with BJ Penn..

Fitch beats GSP,Fitch will fight JOS,not Karo for Karo just came off a Big lose..

Bill

RIGHT NOW KARO PARISIAN VS JON FITCH WOULD BE THE MOST LOGICAL FIGHT RIGHT NOW TO SEE WHO LINES UP NEXT FOR A TITLE SHOT. WINNER OF THAT SHOULD FACE WINNER OF HUGHES VS GSP TO THEN FIGHT SERRA ( THIS WAY SERRA HAS TIME TO RECOOP DUE TO HIS BACK INJURY.)

KARO VS FITCH IS THE WAY TO GO.. BUT UNFORTUNATE..

GEORGE ST. PIERRE
GEROGE ST. PIERRE
GEORGE ST. PIERRE

DID I MENTION GEORGE ST. PIERRE??

THE RISE OF GSP IS HERE.. THIS TIME I THINK GSP WILL STAY CHAMP FOR A LONG TIME.. NO MATTER WHO STEPS UP.

BUT I DO THINK KARO PARISIAN HAS PROVEN MORE THAN FITCH, KARO DESERVES A TITLE SHOT!!

As soon as I read the headline, I thought that he should be fighting Karo or the loser of Hughes/Serra. Much to my delight, I read that Fitch is asking for Karo instead. Good move on his part. Every fight that Fitch would ask for, his ‘opponent’ would turn down the fight, unwilling to fight Jon Fitch.

An unfortunate thing is that his next fight at UFC 82 wil take place before GSP get his crack at the title. Just how much time (considering injuries during training) it takes for GSP to get his title shot this time could prove costly to the winner of Fitch/Karo if it happens. The winner would most likely find themselves in a situation where they are waiting like 6-8 months for their next fight.

[quote post="3965"]I hope his camp tells the UFC to go screw themselves. Everyone was turning him down when they had everything to lose and nothing to gain. I hope he returns the favor! [/quote]

BINGO!!! I love it Tony Drip, and it makes comlete sense for him to do so.

[quote comment="214801"]Fitch has been under the radar, not because he’s been over looked by Joe Silva, but because he’s a snore fest. Even with a considerable size advantage over Sanchez, he did absolutely nothing to make it a decisive, and more importantly, he didn’t show a reason to be considered as a contender. Pass.[/quote]

Have you seen any other Jon Fitch fights? Fitch/Burkman used to be on youtube, but its not there anymore. PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch that fight, and then re-watch the Karo/Burkman fight. You will see that Fitch clearly dominated Burkman no matter where the fight went, and Karo did not handle Burkman with such ease. It went the distance, of course, and I believe it won fight of the night, meaning it was not only exciting, but relatively close. After the Fitch fight, Burkman looked like an alien!!!

Fitch is no where near being a boring fighter. He is one of the handful of fighters that truely ‘brings it’ every time. If you want to see a real WW ’snore fest’, please watch Diego vs Koscheck. THAT was a boring fight, AND it earned Kos a #1 contender fight against GSP.[/quote]

ViolentMike – Well said…Totally Agree with pretty much everything you said. Burkman looked like the elephant man when Fitch was through with him!

Karo vs. Hughes would be interesting.
