Fitch is totally mistreated by the UFC and it's completely bullshit. Not only being disrespected by BJ lately but in general. He's higher than Diaz and BJ.
Jon Fitch vs BJ Penn - Draw
It would appear Jon is, in fact, not better than BJ.
Doesn't matter. It's a combination of skill and who fans want to see fight. It's sports entertainment.
BJ's top 4 was right on the money.
Fitch is top 4 no doubt
(if you don't count the first two rounds of their fight)
go play with your trucks and ninja turtles, ese
Fitch is better than BJ. He's the #2 WW.
For one BJ didn't beat Fitch either.
Also who did BJ beat at WW exactly? Not Alves. Or Kos. Or Shields. Or Ellenberger. Or Sanchez. Or Kampman. Or Hardy. Or Lytle. Or Serra. Or Kim. Or even Story. Who has he beat at all to be in the top 4? The only person he beat was Hughes.
Also the way he disrespected Fitch on twitter was fucked up. Seriously.
I'm a fan of BJ's fighting but he's getting the Couture treatment and it's unfair to other contenders.
Lesnar Fan 17 -SexiestManAlive -Also the way he disrespected Fitch on twitter was fucked up. Seriously.
Ummm im pretty sure Sonnen has said much worse
Yeah but Sonnen's an asshole anyway. It's expected by him
Lesnar Fan 17 - thats right dont reply u damn Jon Bitch fitch fan
I give credit where credit is due. Fitch actually has wins over top WWs while BJ only beat Hughes.
BJ is good and all but he shouldn't get a title shot even if he beats Diaz.
when jon fitch finishes somebody and is exciting he will get his title shot until then we will just skip his fights and ignore him.
According to the UFC title picture BJ is correct. Otherwise, it is all a matter of opinion.
Fitch is ranked in the top 5 universally. While BJ hasn't beaten any topped ranked guys recently he took the #2 guy to a draw and hasn't lost at WW since GSP who is the #1 guy. If he beats Diaz let him fight GSP again if he wants and have Fitch fight Diaz
fitch wouldnt be top 5 if he actually fought and wasnt scared he would get knocked out every time he just fights safe
him and askren shields and maynard and cruz should have a whos the most boring fighter match all of them just stall and not finish.
You are on drugs if you say Fitch is top 4 and BJ isnt. BJ is 15 pounds smaller than Fitch and beat him 2 rounds to 1.
JonesChris1990 - fitch wouldnt be top 5 if he actually fought and wasnt scared he would get knocked out every time he just fights safe
What gym do you train out of? All this MMA knowledge I see you dropping regarding Fitch I am curious as to where in my home state you picking it up. I am no Fitch Fan, but the guy "fights safe" by dominating people. I think his bigger issues are he doesnt have a dominant means to finish people, not so much he plays it safe, but rather he just lacks the heavy fire power/finesse to end top end guys sometimes.
Fitch is definitely top 4, but I would rather watch BJ fight.
I'm just saying BJ's last statement is bullshit. He hasn't beaten any top WW to be top 4. Even if he beats Diaz, he shouldn't get a title shot. He should still beat another top WW.
If anything Shields is still top 4 even though he lost
I hug Penn's nuts and yet I agree with TS.
IMO
1. GSP
2. Fitch
3. Condit
4. Penn
5. Diaz - because Strikeforce basically has no welterweight division....they have 4-6 man rotations that they call divisions down there....
SexiestManAlive - I'm just saying BJ's last statement is bullshit. He hasn't beaten any top WW to be top 4. Even if he beats Diaz, he shouldn't get a title shot. He should still beat another top WW.

If beating Diaz means nothing what does that make Diaz?
Again Strikeforce is so limited in talent that their good fighters are jumping all over every weigh class just to find a fight. You can't really evaluate them against UFC guys because the comp is sooo different.
Btw...Shields>Hendo>Fedor...and Shields is barely top five in the UFC WW division (6 IMO). The octagon is no joke.
