Fitch is making his first appearance since being cut from UFC, you guys going to watch so far there cards have been ok I still think Bellator is the next best thing after UFC for good fights but if you team is on a bye these will be two good days for fights.

 

[alfy!]

At least post the card name and fight list.

World Series of Fighting 3: Fitch vs. Burkman

Welterweight Jon Fitch vs. Josh Burkman
Welterweight Steve Carl vs. Tyson Steele
Lightweight Brian Cobb vs. Justin Gaethje
Lightweight Jacob Volkmann vs. Lyle Beerbohm

​

Middleweight Kendrick Miree vs. Krasimir Mladenov
Featherweight Jeff Smith vs. Jerrod Sanders
Bantamweight Carson Beebe vs. Joe Murphy

I won't be watching this.

Honestly, i'd probably only be interested in the main event match, unless i'm alerted to something particularly awesome on the card I need to see. I'd expect Fitch to come out guns blazing though.

Yeah I don't mind when I have no idea who the two fighting are but one puts on an impressive performance and you see potential going forward and can track their progress.

Wow, Burkman just choked out Fitch in no time! That guy has come such a long way since his last fight in the UFC.

 

[Guy Threepwood]

A walk off submission at that. Mazzagatti didn't stop the fight, Burkman felt Fitch go out, rolled him on to his back and stood up.

 

[MMAPride Scott]

omg that was amazing I couldnt believe what I was seeing that is two in a row for fitch they had him ranked 6 in the world i wonder where he sits now

 

[Guy Threepwood]

That was pretty surreal. I was swearing at my screen when he initially went for the choke thinking that there was no way he would finish it. i figured Fitch would just bide his time, pull his head out and control the rest of the round from top position.

I liked the look of Carl in the co-main event and his RNC finish, while a bit unorthodox was very effective. And who was the bantamweight that got beaten by Beebe... Mitchell or something? That kid looked outstanding on the ground! Gaethje did well to survive the first round against Cobb but didn't look all that impressive. I thought he had his leg hurt about mid way through the second, but he stopped throwing kicks at it until near the end of the round.

Dana White ‏@danawhite 32m
Glad Burkman stopped. Mazzagatti is a clueless idiot who will hurt someone and continue to ruin guys legacies. Much respect Josh

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Dana's right in this situation. What the hell was he looking at? The choke was tight and he was just hanging back. You can bet Herb would have been less than a foot from the action and called it as soon as Fitch went limp.

 

[Nickos66]

Hahah, pretty big shot fired by Dana White.

 

[100action]

hahahahahha "ruin guys legacies". How long did he expect to ride the Brawk gravy train? 10 years?

 

[BradWCE]

Can't look much better than Burkman did. Very impressive to finish like that when someone like Maia was on Fitch's back for the majority of a three round fight and couldn't get too close to submitting Fitch.

It's hard to take Dana White criticising Mazzagatti seriously because he's really got it in for the guy. I saw Keith Kizer defended Mazzagatti, he said how Mazzagatti's performance wasn't good or bad because Burkman letting go of the hold meant he had nothing to do.

I don't think Kizer's correct at all. Mazzagatti was badly out of position, just because Mazzagatti wasn't needed to stop the fight doesn't change that.

I was thinking that was in reference to Mazzagatti handing Jon Jones his only loss.
