"I have Johny Hendricks in front of me right now and he's a tough guy. I'm going to go out there and hopefully perform to the best of my ability and smash on him. ... I do (want another title shot) badly, but for right now, being out, and sitting out for so long, all I want to do is fight. Just let me fight somebody, I need to fight, and that's what I'm itching to do right now."

Im surprised Fitch finished this interview
Well... thats ur decision
Ready to grind out another ho-hum boring ass decision there Fitch? I bet you are.
Fitch couldn't finish a bowl of cereal.
So you're the guy talking crap fitch was talking about. Next time you see him, i hope you'll have the balls to tell him what you think. You have nothing to worry about , he wont finish you right?
If GSP wasn't around, you'd all be calling Fitch the greatest welterweight ever and one of the best lb-for-lb out there. At least Fitch engages with his opponents.
personally think fitch is sick. if the other fighter can't stop the grind, then that's their mistake. it's not like they don't know what's going to happen to them when they are fighting fitch.
This fight should not be on the main card.
Cerrone v Diaz, FOTN.
Title should be ....

I think fitch is great fighter
Fitch might not be the most exciting fighter but he is a hard worker and gets the job done. You don't have to like his style, however you do have to respect him. His record speaks for itself. How can any one argue that he is not one of the top welterweights on the planet? I would love to see those who criticize him or GSP get into the cage with them and mix it up. Easy to criticize when you are sitting in front of the idiot box drinking beer and eating Doritos.
