Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva In The Works For UFC 153 In Rio | UFC News
By Jamie McAllister
Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva in the works for UFC 153 in Rio.
Ariel Helwani revealed via his official Twitter account that both fighters have verbally agreed to the bout.
Fitch is coming off a loss to Johny Hendricks at UFC 141 where he was knocked out in the first round. Prior to that bout Fitch fought to a majority draw against BJ Penn at UFC 127. Over the past two years Fitch has been plagued by injuries and was expected to face Aaron Simpson at UFC on Fuel TV: Munoz vs. Weidman but withdrew due to a knee injury.
Silva (14-2-1) is coming off an impressive victory over Charlie Brenneman at UFC on FX: Johnson vs. McCall. His only loss in the last six years was the questionable disqualification loss to Carlo Prater back at UFC 142.
Fitch will be desperate to get back to winning ways and register his first victory in over two years in hostile teritory against Silva in Brazil. On the other side of things Silva gets the chance to make a statement in the division by defeating former long time Welterweight number one contender.

Second and third this
Lets just hope this is Fitch’s last fight in the UFC (forever) Fitch’s only chance is via lay n pray. Fans want to see fighting not “fitching”
You and rest of your gay boy fans can suck fitch’s ****
You already have the cocksucking department covered.
You ching chong bitch take get rid of fitch’s **** out of ur ass.
Could you reach the keyboard with that Fitch **** in yo mouth?
I love **** in my mouth all day long everyday.
Second and third this as well
Fitch wins by what he does best. He is gonna take him down and grind out a decision. The hendricks fight was a fluke. I hope Fitch wins in the most boring fashion and all you faggot fans feel like u wasted ur money on ppv. I hope he wins in a way where the get rid of fitch fag cries and bitches like the little bitch he is.
well khallu1991@yahoo.com that is just one mean thing to say.
Haha umad
Then dropped for constant shitty boring same fights. I bet Lorenzo and Joe Silvia are waiting for the contract to be over to never resign him again.
Btw also loses again.
Silva will KO Fitch’s boring ass and UFC will finally do the right thing and release his boring ass and millions of MMA fans around world will celebrate. Fitch wanted nothing to dowith Aaron Sinpson who EVERYONE knows is much much better wrestler and would have KO’d Fitch with his big right hand
I wanna eat John Fitch’s poo. I want Jon Fitch to take a big dump on my chest.
Two of my favorite fighters on the same card, Aldo and E. Silva. This UFC 153 card is getting very interesting.
Erick Silva will destroy Fitch in the first round and send Fitch to another organization.
Only thing Fitch will win is a one way ticket to Cage Warriors by way of LnP attempts and getting KTFO in the end.
looks like the ufc r close to finally gettin the reason to release fitch.
Fitch will win this fight in Fitch fashion. I don’t mind though as long as the rest of the card has exciting fights I’ll be just fine. Fitch fights for me = smoke break!
In between rounds are also smoke breaks haha…..PASS THE DUTCHIE TO THE LEFT CUZ THE RIGHTAWAY IS WRONG
and you know this, MAN!
Keep Fitch forever its becoming clearer by the day u have a big crush on Jon. “Fitch wins by what he does best, take him down and grind a decision” it seems like u watch his fights a lot and wish u were on the bottom getting grinded by Fitch lol shit u probably got a poster of
Him
In ur room.
Nighty night jon
Why are they still giving this guy fights?
FITCH IS GETTING KNOCKED THE **** OUT!
and old wastler vs a young man who WILL KNOCK HIM THE **** OUT.
Fitch cured my insomnia…..
Can’t wait! I’m hopeing fitch can pull out the win!
now fitch is ****ed if he thought hendricks packs a punch wait to e.silva hits you
I hate Fitch with a passion….that being said…if he finishes Silva i will give him more respect…i WANT Fitch to finish someone so i can stop hearing about him on every ****ing forum…
