Jon Fitch Talks UFC 100 and His Place in Welterweight Division
By Ariel Helwani
June 10, 2009
VERSUS.com recently caught up with UFC welterweight star Jon Fitch to talk about his upcoming fight at UFC 100 against the dangerous Paulo Thiago. Thiago raised a lot of eye brows when he defeated Fitch's American Kickboxing Academy teammate, Josh Koscheck, at UFC 95 in February.
Since losing a grueling five-round title fight to Georges St-Pierre last August, Fitch rebounded with a victory over Akhiro Gono at UFC 94 in January. On July 11, he looks to take one step back up the welterweight ladder by knocking off Thiago.
