That's generally not something you hear when a Fitch fight is announced.

**Hitoshura** · 2012-07-31 00:25

Awesome match up, Erick via murder.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-07-31 00:33

Oh, well if we're talking about the murder of Fitch then yeah, this is good.

JON FITCH FAN 4 LIFE noshame

**Rhyis.** · 2012-07-31 02:38

Fitch is so good, he Fitches in his sleep.

Spoiler: show

**Hitoshura** · 2012-07-31 02:59

Almost looks like Mazzagatti is asleep.

**Andalusian girls** · 2012-07-31 03:00

hey Fitch did beat the shit out of Penn in round 3

**Andalusian girls** · 2012-07-31 03:00

and wait in chokes for a long time against Sanchez and Thiago

**Andalusian girls** · 2012-07-31 03:01

and kinda sat on Pierce

**Hitoshura** · 2012-07-31 03:13

Not counting Fitch out of the fight, a 3 round blanket fest could very well happen, but he isn't particularly fast, and Erick Silva definitely is. If he can't get/keep the fight to the ground I think Erick will swarm and finish him quickly.

**Brill Weave** · 2012-07-31 12:59

And the Rua/Vera fight is no longer for the next title shot. Never should have been to begin with.

next shot between four bros Jones has already wrecked

**tyven** · 2012-07-31 13:55

what a joke

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-07-31 16:21

I guess they want to build Gustafsson up some more before giving him a shot.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-07-31 16:30

He hasn't really beat anybody yet. I wish he was fighting Davis so that could be the contender fight instead. At least whoever wins would be a fresh fight for Jones.

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-07-31 17:07

Yeah. The way it is now, its a selection of four people who Jon Jones finished in brutal fashion. Hope Hendo wins and fucks everything up.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-07-31 17:08

Yeah, Jones is making LHW look pretty silly. Hendo winning would be pretty hilarious. TRT would become the highlight of the sport for years... Probably get new rulings and everything.

**Andalusian girls** · 2012-08-04 00:55

who's gonna lose to Jon Jones sweepstakes tomorrow (just joshin H-bomb will land)

Rua
Machida
Varner
Swick

surprisingly decent card for a free show to be real

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-04 01:00

If Shogun wins, he'll get the shot. When he wins it's always via murderdeathkill.

Also hoping for Varner's destruction.

**Hitoshura** · 2012-08-04 14:36

lol at people saying Prado looks like Shogun and Cain's love child. I thought the exact same shit. I plan on watching the prelims on Fuel as well as the main, looks like a solid card despite the WTF @ Vera even getting close to a title shot. I have a feeling Shogun is going to either walk through him or make him quit quick and painfully.

At this point aside from Hendo there really won't be anyone left aside from Gustaffson, I don't think Phil could take Jon down or even do much with it, much less stand with him considering he could barely keep up with Rashad. People are saying Gegard but the dude had nothing for King Mo's wrestlefuck, I doubt Jones could finish though.

Not to count out Hendo but his only chance is landing a clean on target H bomb, I don't see him keeping Jon down if he actually manages to take it there. From what it sounds like that's what he's planning for, sounds insane but that could actually work for him. Getting him close enough to sneak in a brutal uppercut from inside like he did to Fedor maybe. But the hell do I know, Hendo always proves me wrong anyway. If Jon can't finish him with strikes early on, I definitely see him pulling a sub on a gassed Hendo.
