I suck, LOL.
And yeah, if he just mauled the shit outta someone who knows... Anderson basically clinched his title shot by WTFpwning Leben in such amazing fashion. Who knows...

Going in there and eeking out some wins is clearly not enough in the UFC, you have to be impressive constantly and let that marketability ooze from your system. | eek out some wins? Besides his split decision win over Deigo, his other three decisions were unanimous and his other 4 wins were 3 RNC's and 1 over Alves...

Even at 100%....he's in trouble against GSP. Big trouble.

"I know this is the ADD generation, but 'what have you done for me lately' seems to mean within the last 10 minutes these days."
Still, though, with the 3-4 months between fights, if you have a lot of decisions, then it's going to create skepticism. Hell, look at Machida; the dude has been embarassing everyone he's fought, but he's still tagged as boring, despite finishing Soko.

Sweet, if he has only showed 35% so far, he'll have to use his other 65% percent against GSP. I'm pumped, just got tickets to the show, looking forward to at least 4 awesome fights.
I say Fitch wins by sub in round 2.

I don't see Fitch subbing GSP, if he finishes him at all I could see maybe a ground 'n pound TKO.
Still going to be an amazing fight, though.

I thought wrestling was 90% of his game? If it's only 35% I'm interested to see what else he's got in his arsenal.
If this fight is exciting it will be because of GSP, not Fitch.
