Fitch "may" be right, but i doubt it.

and i'm a Jon Fitch fan as well as GSP but Fitch wouldn't stand w/ GSP and thats the truth.

GSP is the best wrestler P4P in all of MMA and he brought Serra down into his world, that is GSP's game.

GSP has the best takedowns in the game!

Watch for GSP to move to MW in '09.

GSP will embarrass Fitch at his own game just as he did Kos.

No, it showed he stuck to the game plan that was givin to him. When they were standing GSP dominated there too, but he stuck to to game paln he trained for. That is one thing that makes him such a great fighter he listens to his trainers.
And GSP will kill Fintch, when they fight.

GSP is one of the few fighters that have no preference as far as stand up or the ground, which makes him very unpredictable. I think GSP just had a little trouble with Serra due to his smaller dimensions. Fitch thinks GSP is playing it safe, but what is wrong with playing it safe if you still finish almost everyone in less than two rounds? If someone just strikes you can say they are afraid of the ground too. It works both ways.

Fitch will be finished via TKO in the second round after being dominated during the first.

Haha, ok... Dude, you're WAY off. St. Pierre is one of the most diverse strikers in the game. You have no idea what you're talking about
