Jon Fitch "clueless" on lack of title shots, looks to fight GSP and Anderson Silva
by Hubert Lau on November 27, 2011

Jon Fitch is puzzled at his lack of title shots but looks towards a rematch with George St. Pierre and a future fight with Anderson Silva according to mmamania.com.

Fitch (23-3-1 (1 no contest)) sports a UFC record of 14-1-1 within the welterweight division and has established himself as one of MMA's best in the process. Fitch has been given only one title shot, at UFC 87, despite his near perfect record.

"No one's ever come to speak to me about doing anything wrong or right or whatever, so I'm completely clueless. I have no idea what's expected of me to get the title shots. No one's ever come to me and said they don't like what I'm doing or I need to do more of something else. I'm utterly and completely clueless in that regard," Fitch said.

Fitch is currently on a 5-0-1 run, last fighting BJ Penn to a draw at UFC 127. For his next bout, Fitch is scheduled to fight Johny Hendricks at UFC 141. If he can get pass Hendricks, he will still need to wait for a title shot. Carlos Condit is fighting Josh Koscheck at UFC 143 for the UFC's number one welterweight contender.

There is no telling when Fitch finally gets his second crack at the UFC's welterweight title but Fitch has other goals as well.

"I'm living for the fights. That's what I love. I don't think there's anybody out there who I can't beat. If I'm in shape and healthy and my timing is on, there's nobody in the world I can't beat. My goals are: one, to win the welterweight belt; two, avenge my loss to GSP; and three, I would like to move up some day and challenge Anderson (Silva) if he's still around and undefeated, just because that's the kind of person I am. I want to challenge the best. I want to go up against the best. I want to prove to everybody that I'm the best," Fitch said.

In this day and age of MMA, you have to have a LITTLE pop to get over and you've displayed none. How no one has pointed this out to you is mind-boggling to me. :confused: Hizoka: sorry no-one like watching a guy monkey hump another guy for 15 minutes. Fitch is not a finisher, he wins but watching grass grow is more exciting. Fitch also cannot beat GSP (everyone knows it) and Fitch is not an "earner" he does not make the UFC money. GO HARD: he should dye his hair... or get tatted up... q: / snuff: he should sing. IwishIwasMMA: The thing that is funniest about this.. What was Jon Fitch's last boring fight? BJ was fun, Alves was alright, Paulo was a butt kicking, and everyone else wants to stay away from a shot at the guy. Nick Diaz wouldnt stand a snow balls chance. Condit would more than likely be on his back eating punches like dinner. Kampmann would suffer the same. Penn lost, and would definitely lose a 5 round fight against him (via stoppage). Rory would have the same happen... I mean the guy really does not have THAT boring of fights. People just get sissified when he does not finish a fight. It happens. Some of the best have issues finishing. Including GSP and Frankie Edgar, and I believe they are some of the best fighters to ever fight. Cryptic_Soldier: Fitch and Edgar are definate go grab another beer, have a smoke, take a dump time fights 9/10 times. HappyHamer: The one thing in that story I really don't get is why Condit has to fight Koscheck. Condit was due for a title shot, stepping in to replace Diaz, who did nothing for the UFC leading up to the fight other than no-show. Then, after getting the decision over BJ, he Stockton mouths GSP, so the UFC jump on the reinvigorated hype, and Condit steps to one side for him. Condit is now way more deserving than Koscheck, but one bad night at the office could see him drop down the ladder. HappyHamer: Diaz is getting a shot based on post BJ hype. Both Condit and Ellenberger are more deserving based on their UFC careers right now. GO HARD: Dana White scored the fight for Diego... (i didnt see this fight, i was in jail.) either way, im sure it was close. i scored fitch vs penn a draw. rnd 1 - BJ rnd 2 BJ and round 3 10-8 Fitch. how did u not score that fight the same way?? Jake Shields beat Miller.. he beat Hendo (who is close to a title shot again and a legend), and he beat kampmann.... And the Skrap Pak has a big fan base!!! q; D GO HARD: im rite. Giada Esposito: There is no way way Fitch is clueless enough not to know why he hasn't been given another title shot yet. That being said, he is very deserving of one, and he should be fighting Condit for the challenger slot, not Kos. nygiant: Jon Fitch is such a boring fighter AS WELL AS such a boring character I really didn't even want to come in here and post this. This is all the time i'll spend in this thread....sorry Fitch...respect ya as a man, though. nygiant: LMAO You prick...you just had to keep enticing me to come in here dammit!! Oh and im used to wrestlers beating up on Alves...he needs to work on his tdd Hizoka: kinda it does.... honestly if Zuffa cannot make money off you then you are not gonna get big fights. Its all about making money. Fith is not a personality or an exciting fighter... honestly most people prolly have no clue who he is, hell he had like 7 or 8 UFC wins before he was even off the undercard. TGroves: Fitch needs exactly ONE exciting win and he has his title shot. If he went out and submitted Johny Hendricks in the first round, BOOM title shot. That's all he has to do. It's not that hard to figure out. Until then exciting fighters, like Diaz, Condit and Ellenberger will continue to pass him up.
