After a nearly a year-long layoff following a first round submission loss to Rousimar Palhares, Jon Fitch is back and ready to headline WSOF 24 next Saturday night.
At the height of Jon Fitch's Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) career, his last name became a verb -- "Fitch'ed" -- a descriptive for fighters who had their momentum derailed in one-sided matches by one of world's top Welterweight grinders ... and contenders.
It wasn't always a flattering description. Despite being among the mixed martial arts (MMA) elite, Fitch had to string together 16 consecutive wins before UFC gave him a title shot against Georges St-Pierre in 2008.
