ShayneSmithMMA Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Without a doubt in my mind Jon Fitch is the most boring fighter in the UFC who is shown on the main card. Yes, he wins fights but barely and in the most boring fashion. I cant remember the last time he was in an exciting fight, maybe GSP? And thats only cause he got man handled. Fitch almost lost to Mike Pierce but barely squeezed out a UD. If you look at his fight history its filled with UDs... If he doesnt have an exciting fight against Saunders i dont think he should get a title shot until he proves he can do more than take down and grind out a victory.

SpiderProdigy Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Boring fighter yes, still one of my favorites though, beat everyone besides GSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShayneSmithMMA Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Gray Maynard? +1, agreed but i still think Fitch is worse, atleast lately they only show Maynard on fight night but Fitch is always on the main card on PPV. I dont wanna pay $50 to see him lay and pray for the UD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobmyster Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Let's hope saunders brings out the best in fitch. Saunders could take this tho. Both fighters won't know each others game that well due to the last minute change of opponent, that will hopefully make this fight really open.

I have a feeling this is gonna be another sleeper.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerChamp Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 fitch isnt that boring of a fighter. at least not while getting molested by GSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameis Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Boring, yes. But he deserves his place as second in the WW rankings because what matters are the wins. I dont like him and I always root against him, but one thing is one thing and another thing is another thing If he was to fight Alves tonight, had he gotten the win he should have been the next to get a title shot imo. Now beating Saunders is not the same, so one more fight I guess. In this case you also have to see how other guys (like Daley) do in their next fight to see who gets the shot next.

uaquin Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Id rather see winner of Daley vs Koscheck get the shot because atleast they will make the fight exciting. MMA is a sport, not a spectacle. Fitch wins. Yes Fitch gets a lot of decision wins, but most of those wins are not in question. His only split was against Diego awhile back. A UD win shows he dominated the fight for the majority of the time. Like his style or not until proven otherwise he is the best WW in the world not named GSP.

StaySmartGE Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Win is a win and he deserves to be on top. I think he is # 2 welterweight in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okoye35 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Fitch is not boring to watch...if you take the time to understand what he is doing and how well he does it. Personally, I think it's very impressive that a fighter can take an opponent down and control them for the entire fight. If you don't enjoy the ground game you can't call yourself an MMA fan.

Fitch better beat his a$$ If Kos Beats Daley i dont see how he does not get a title shot. Paulo Thiago deserves a shot over Ben Saunders IMO.

Basically Dana has in the past rewarded people that step up on short notice like this. In this case he's stepping up to fight the #2 WW in the world. Only one way to reward a win.

What are your thoughts on Jon Fitch?[/quote'] Boring? Yes Competitive? Yes Top fighter? Yes Impressive record? Yes Hardcore camp? Yes Skilled training partners? Yes Respectful? Yes There is a lot more I could say about the controversal top fighter over at AKA. But, boring technique aside, I don't see how you couldn't like the guy. Without a doubt in my mind I place him as 2nd or 3rd best fighter in the WW division. I can't wait to see him fight tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts on Jon Fitch? I don't understand this. If he barely squeezed out a unanimous decision, it would still be a split decision, right? and still not a loss. That just means Fitch was the better fighter all three rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way Daley should get a shot at the title before Fitch, especially if he beats Saunders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denominator Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 He's literally sooo boring that people within the sports pub that I go to took their bathroom breaks during his fight. He laid on Pierce like he hadn't had sex in a year. Seriously though, he's beyond boring, and what he calls grinding out a decision is basically laying on top of an opponent throughout the course of a fight.
