Jon Fitch Feels He Should Get Next Shot At GSP
Fitch was a guest on this past weeks HDNet episode of “Inside MMA” where he felt a victory at UFC 111 should make him the undisputed No.2 welterweight in the UFC. Both Fitch And Alves met at UFN 5 where he defeated the Brazilian in the second round via KO. “Mentally he’s matured a great deal in that time period,” Fitch said. “He was pretty young when we fought. … His wrestling defense is much better and he’s harder to take down. He’s stronger and I think he’s matured physically. Maybe he’s a little bit slower. We’ll see. … I’m a much better athlete than I was a couple years ago. I’m a much improved fighter from when I first fought, and so is he.”

At the end, it’s not fighting anymore. That’s not the martial arts. Martial arts is about respect. When somebody is knocked down, stop. I really respect Sugar Ray Leonard. Come on, [when a guy is down] stop. Don’t fight. That’s not the spirit. When you’re down, I’ll grab you up. Are you okay? Should we continue? That’s the martial arts spirit. That’s what I want.”

MFC: Hrynchyshyn Eagerly Awaits Next Tests In New Deal
Luck very nearly wasn’t on Hrynchyshyn’s side in his last outing, but the fight certainly proved one thing. Faced with adversity, the six-foot-one 170-pounder is able to pull himself out of the fire and, in the case of the fight against Jesse MacDougall, put the heat right back on his opponent. Badly cut and up against some dangerous ground-and-pound action, Hrynchyshyn was in danger for a spell, but reversed his fortunes and roughed up MacDougall until the referee had no choice but to step in at 4:29 of Round 2. It was a far cry from his first outing when Hrynchyshyn needed all of 45 seconds to finish his outgunned foe, but it served as a stepping stone and learning experience for a developing fighter.

Junior dos Santos Feels An UFC Interim Heavyweight Title Fight Should Include Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira
Tatame: With the Brock Lesnar moved away for indeterminate time, the UFC must create a temporary belt in the dispute between the Frank Mir and the Shane Carwin. Do you find it just? Dos Santos: I find that it is not just, I find that (Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira) was in the time to dispute the belt and would be more just to dispute it, but as it does not follow the MMA rankings, it has to follow the decisions of the UFC. Tatame: You have some you bet? Dos Santos: It is half difficult… I find that it goes to be the same thing as Frank Mir against (Cheick) Kongo. If the fight will be standing, Carwin has more possibilities, but, if it will be on the ground, Mir has more possibilities. I go to be on of the wall, I do not have a favourite person or thing (laughs).
Paul Daley Looks Towards UFC Welterweight Title In 2010
With 32 professional MMA bouts under his belt, Daley isn’t taking Hazelett for granted.

I’ve always had ambitions to fight for the UFC title and that is definitely something I want to achieve in 2010. I don’t just want to compete for it; I want to win it. I don’t care who holds the title at the time – I want to take that belt and put it around my waist. The UFC title means so much to me, simply because the UFC itself was the reason I first got started as a mixed martial artist. The UFC probably started everyone off, except for the Gracie family.
