Jon Fitch Is A Cool Cat

I love it that I am 7-0 in the UFC and am on a 14 fight win streak without a loss since 2002 (against a 205 lb fighter) and people still dont know who I am. Im a fucking ghost.

I think cardio will be the deciding factor in the BJ vs. JD. I hope Werdum vs. Gonzaga is a good fight. Werdum is way better than he showed against Arvlosky, and I think Gonzaga was overwhemled by the fact he was fighting for the title. Plus Randy is the shit.

-- More Fitch after the jump.

I cant wait for GSP, but my hands are full with Gono at the moment. So ill worry bout that for now.

i hope he (Gono) can teach me some dance moves at the after fight party.

Ill be ready to go for the show next week.
I adjust my weight differently for each fight. some guys I want to be a lot bigger than, and some I need to be a lot faster so Ill come in lighter. the average (weight cut) is around 15lbs

i wouldnt mind anything that had a little allison stokke sprinkled on it. (me: LOL)

I usually dont sleep till 2am. I get up at 10am. Take a nap in the afternoon between workouts. We fight at 7pm-11pm, so no reason to be an early riser.
I quit my job after the Diego fight. Kos really didnt think GSP would wrestle with him at all. He prepared to stand and trade that whole fight. He just didnt mentally adjust to it.

I wanted Karo but it didnt work out. I am honored to fight Gono. I like fighting really good fighters, regardless of there popularity in the states. Ive fought a lot of really fucking good guys in the UFC. Never had a gimmie. Woudnt have it any other way.

I like to steal the phrase at the end of every cheppell show, Im rich, bitch!!! and change it to Im Fitch, Bitch!!!!

we were instructed that the doc would inspect all cuts. plus he got like 2 to 3 minutes to rest during the round break while the doc looked at his nose and a cut. I never said time out either, I just asked the ref if my lip was falling off. Tito ran over said it was just a cut so i kept fighting. It felt like it was hanging off though, freaked me the fuck out. I have no problem with fighting anyone. He would need to get healthy and beat a lot of guys to make it happen though.

yeah, it was bleeding so bad my mouth kept filling up with blood. I couldnt spit it out either because of the lip. so i had to tilt my head forward in order to poor the blood out.

its all about my training through osmosis theory. if you want to lose weight hang out with skinny people. If you want to gain weight hang out with fat people. if you hurt your ribs, eat ribs. hurt your foot, eat pigs feet. want to be taller, fuck tall bitches.

I think what Gono does better than any other fighter Ive fought in the UFC is THINK. He is more clever than anything else. He looks at a fight like a puzzle he is trying to solve. Many fighters just try to force a few things through out the fight. So if you can stop those few things you are in the clear. Gono is tricky and willing to try new things and take risks to win fights.

I think that what he doesnt do as well is that he is not really a specialist at any one thing. This leaves him vulnerable to being dominated in one area of his game by different types of fighters.

I am still developing my strategy, you will see it on fight night. My weight is a secret. Cant give up to much info.

Fitch is tipping his hand here. He's recognized Gono's strength -- adaptibility -- and also Gono's weakness -- no single specialty. Look for Fitch to go to his base in this fight and put on a wrestling exhibition against Gono.
