5 Things You Might Not Know About Jon Fitch

Some would dismiss Jon Fitch as a fighter who constantly lulls fans to sleep. Or perhaps one that raised legal issues against the Ultimate Fighting Championship. But the American Kickboxing Academy standout is, every inch, a workhorse who has a knack for imposing his will on every opponent he faces.

Fitch has been through it all. He challenged for the UFC welterweight title, captured the World Series of Fighting (now Professional Fighters League) title, and recently moved to Bellator MMA in search of another one. At Bellator 199 on May 12, he will take on Paul Daley for his promotional debut at 40 years old.
