Fitch @ UFC 82
Looks like the landscape of the 170 lb. division could be cleared by next summer. I'm pulling for the Fitch vs. Parisyan fight personally, but neither have a shot vs. Fitch IMO.UFC 82: Jon Fitch to fight in Columbus against possibly Akihiro Gono (Exclusive)
MMAmania.com (UFC blog for UFC news, results, videos, rumors, fights, pics and tickets — MMAmania.com (UFCmania.com)) learned earlier this morning that welterweight contender Jon Fitch (15-2) has been approached about fighting Akihiro Gono (27-12-7) at UFC 82 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on March 1.
Fitch will fight on the card; however, Gono is not a lock to be his opponent at this time. Our sources indicate that the Fitch camp is working hard to line up a showdown with Karo Parisyan instead. That fight makes the most sense in terms of clearing up the 170-pound log jam.....
Damn. I wanted to see him fight Karo too.
Yeah, Karo would've been a good one to see but guess we might have to wait.
Fitch seems to have a decent following. Could he be one of those fighters w/o "haters"...you know...those Internet Warriors?

If I was Karo, I would defintely not want to fight Fitch. It seems he's still got a sour taste in his mouth for not being offered another title fight since the last one and he'd most certainly drop a decision to Fitch, probably knocking him out of the title hunt for good.
It defintely makes the most sense though. I feel both fighters are worthy of a title shot and you would think the winner would get one asap.

I would want Karo to win vs Fitch, but its not gonna happen. But then again, you never know with those xtreme couture fighters.
Chael Sonnen: I’ll bet 25 percent of Paulo [Filho]’s purse on “The Natural.”
I want to see Fitch vs. Karo with the winner getting the next WW title shot after GSP.
Yeah, me too, but unfortunately for Karo I think it would be Fitch's title shot. There were rumours of Alves vs Gono, and that makes better sense to me than Fitch/Gono.
Randy Couture: I’m more of a battle of attrition, take you down, beat you up till you really don’t want to fight anymore, type of fighter
BJ Penn: It's just the wrong time to fight BJ Penn.
ARE YOU READY?
ARE YOU READY?
LET'S GET IT ON!
I think Fitch vs. Karo would be better, however Fitch deserves a title shot more then Karo, and I believe he has a better chance for the title over Karo. Fitch has a great run of victories whereas Karo... doesn't. Karo should of had his deserved and promised title shot right after his injury, but after losing to Diego, I think he now has started from the bottom again, and I do feel that the UFC giving him Chonan makes me think that the UFC want that to, its a shame he had the injury but things happen, and if Karo beat Diego we wouldn't be having this thread and still discussing it now.
