Wasn’t his biggest fan by any means, but I do have to admit that I’m pretty shocked with his release. Pure ****ery, if you ask me.
All of these Men named Fit the Release list.
Except for Terry Etim.
Wow! I thought Che Mills was on an upcoming card!
He fought 5 days ago.
Che mills, Jay heiron, john fitch, matushenko, and Terry etim are still good fighters. i’m sure fitch, etim, and mill will be back.
Agree 100% with danielrchargers on etim
idk man, i think barboza knocked the career out of him.
Yeah… Yeahhh your all right… & its a shock… Haha… But Damn… Finaly no Fitch-shit anymore… Haha… & Yeah he “could” be a Champ ( Finaly what he want) in Bellator… Hahaha…. Lay & Gay & than he will call Dana im a Champ now give Me a Titel Shot vs GSP Champ vs Champ yo… Imao… Hahahaha…
I can’t believe fitch got cut. he just got back! Terry Etim got ****ed over just cuz he was highlight reeled by a stud.
woooow some of these cuts are ridiculous, Dana is losing it guys. Seriously how the **** do you cut Fitch like that? Paul Sass? Volkmann? Vladdy? What the ****.
ben askren vs fitch that will be 25 minutes! of sleep
I would like to spit in danas face
Dang, Geena!!!!!!!!
dana the fkn nazi white.
Boy you guys complain about everything… Fitch is a snoozefest from a camp that Dana doesn’t like… Clearly he gets gone… Jay Hieron is one of the most overrated fighters in the UFC…
terry etim, paul sass & che mills?.. plus he fired paul daley, he is harsh on british fighters, in my opinion dana white needs.. brad pickett, ross pearson & jimi manuwa to be the poster boys for the british fans.
Not a bad idea to send Fitch packin to a different organization where he has a good chance to make their 70pnd division to boring to watch
Man a lot of the UFC on Fox 6 guys got cut. I would still like to watch The Janitor… And I can’t believe Jorge Santiago is gone AGAIN after a short notice fight loss.
Only good news is I don’t have to be bored by Fitch anymore. Okami just needs to lose one now.
