Fitch and GSP

Fitch wants his title shot...he prolly will get it and lets assume GSP wins next month (probably will though)...fitch and gsp for the title next...who takes it? i dont see anyone beating gsp..i love fitchs style but i cant really see fitch beating him and i dont see this fighting ending by any kind of stoppage...i see a 5 round decision in this fight...probably in favor of gsp...what you guys think?

GSP has been on a roll against wrestlers (and everyone else not named Matt Serra for that matter) The way he handled Kos, Hughes, I don't see Fitch being a problem.

I felt the same about Serra though.

It will be a cardio war.

Fitch is no push over, but he hasn't face anybody at GSP's level.

I think he will manage to stay out of troulble submission-wise and his stand up is good enough to fen doff GSP. But I don't see what kind of offense he can perform.

GSP can't be taken down and he will stand with Fitch with no problem, althoiugh John can pull a Serra you never know.

I think we will have to wait until 2009 to see this fight, as they are the obvious choice of coaches for season 9 of TUF....

people that have seen them in person say GSP is a much bigger guy walking around, despite them both fighting at the same weight. Therefore, GSP by top position beatdown.

Before the last Fitch fight, I would have said its a tough call. But now I would say GSP will steamroll him.

I think it might go 2-3 rounds, but i just think in the end GSP will dominate the wrestling, get position, and either GnP him or finish with a RNC.

I'd rather see Fitch vs Kos first.
