fitch must get a shot for the titel after he beats this guy? i mean come on 7 wins in a row inside the cage that is class
Why the hell isn’t Fitch fighting Koscheck?
think there from same camp! would love to see that fight tho!
Yeah, Fitch has to be in line for the next title shot after Gsp gets it back. If they try and give it to some loser like Karo, I’m going to be so pissed.
there just giving fitch easy fights i still think he has 2 fight a big name besides sanchez 2 bad gono got hurt
Fitch should win this but Wilson isn’t a pushover. Nice add to the UFC’s roster of fighters.
Fitch and Kos are from the same camp but they may have to fight each other anyway. You train with a team but it is an individual sport. This fight is just a placeholder till GSP and Serra are done. The only real challenge for GSP is Fitch, he’s beaten Kos and as much as I like the way Karo fights I don’t think he has much of a shot at taking GSP. Not real impressed by Wilson’s resume, don’t think it will take Fitch long to end this one.
chris wilson is really good and is going to upset everybody!
wilson is legit bad ass i still have to favor fitch but if he stands and bangs with wilson he will have a very long night he needs to take him down and out wrestle him
