AIN'T THAT A FITCH

UFC 100 takes place in Vegas this July and one of many interesting match-ups is the WW fight between Jon Fitch and Paulo Thiago. Thiago is the Brazilian fighter who shocked the MMA world by knocking out Josh Koscheck at UFC 95. Koscheck was furious about what he considered a quick stoppage and he may have a valid point but I've seen fights stopped for less, and fights that the ref let go too long, so all I can say is "thems the breaks kid". A loss is a loss and you got knocked the f out Koscheck, deal with it. As for Thiago, Fitch is by far his toughest opponent to date and this would be a huge stepping stone should he be able to defeat the highly ranked WW. Most rankings have Thiago Alves as the number 1 contender for GSP's belt but in my eyes it is still Jon Fitch. Just cuz Alves has fought his way into a deserved title shot does not mean he is automatically the number 1 contender, remember he has yet to avenge a previous loss to Fitch.
Either way, Paulo Thiago has bitten off more than he can chew by agreeing to fight Fitch and I think it is a poor decision on his part. He is currently undefeated and a loss to Fitch won't end his career but it will set him back on his march to a title shot.
