Nothing against Fitch's next opponent, but he should really be fighting Koschek. Dana, it's time to walk the walk!

I have no questions about Fitch's skills, and no question about Koscheck's mouth. This fight will be hypable (is that a word) and sellable, particularly to nouveau fans since TUF because of Koscheck. Though I personally think he's got the most annoying mouth, I know a lot of it is just hype. What I really hope is that he knows it's just hype and he hasn't bought his own hype, because Fitch is going to kill him, and I wouldn't want to see Koscheck's ego injured in that fall. ;) But seriously, I would pick Fitch to win here. Maybe not handily, but win decidedly, either by late sub or by UD (though I'm not so sure about judge's decisions these days).

No he doesn't electrify with huge knockouts but he out works EVERYONE(except GSP) and he even did better than either Thiago(couldn't capitalize on a wounded GSP) or BJ(didnt answer the bell in the 5th). I think before anyone gets a shot at the crown at WW they should have to go through Fitch. Fitch is 10-1 in the ufc and provided he could get some better striking going I still think stands the best chance of beating GSP. That being said I agree with Sergio on the fact that Kos is talkin some trash for someone who is 3-2 in his last 5. Come on Joe Silva make this happen so Kos goes 3-3 in his last six....Fitch by decision or late Submission! I think Fitch is the number one contender period.

What about Paul Semtex

that guy is high up there and they could still do

koscheck vs Semtex

and fitch vs thiago alves
