GSP 16-2 has proven him self to be a very dominate fighter in the having clamed the welterweight title not once but twice. He has wins or some of the UFC top contenders in Bj Penn, Matt Hughes and Sean Sherk. It seems every time GSP steps back into the octagon he gets better and better. His TKO loss to Matt Sera cost him his title and since then he has looked better then ever. Now he faces what could be his toughest opponent to date in Jon Fitch.
Fitch 22-2 is a fighter that has been under the radar for most of his UFC career. This however says nothing about his skills, his UFC record is 8-0. This is very impressive since no one in the history of the UFC has had 8 straight wins. Fitch also has impressive victories over top contenders such as Diego Sanchez, Thaigo Silva and Josh Burkman. This is certainly going to be Fitches toughest fight in his UFC career and he has earned his title shot.
A fight between two of the worlds best fighters at 170lbs and there is not doubt in my mind that is going to be one of the best fights of 2008. These fighters are two of my favourites and I couldn’t say who’s going to win it’s very tough to call because both men are so well rounded. GSP has knocked off many top contenders and Fitch is the only man to have 8 straight wins in the UFC, these stats can only make for one amazing fight.
