Give Jon Fitch credit: He rarely diverts from his plan.
Takedowns, periods of mild ground-and-pound and suffocating positional control carried as the former UFC welterweight title challenger to a unanimous decision over Yushin Okami in the World Series of Fighting 24 headliner on Saturday at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. Scores were 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27, all for Fitch (27-7-1, 3-2 WSOF).
Okami (30-10, 1-2 UFC) set up shop in his comfort zone in the first round, where he jockeyed for position in the clinch and stymied his opponent in close quarters.
