Former UFC welterweight contender Jon Fitch returns to action on the June 14 WSOF 3 card against another former UFC welterweight Josh Burkman. The fight card will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and be broadcast on NBC Sports.
This will be Fitch’s first action since a one-sided unanimous decision loss to Demian Maia at UFC 156 back in February, and his subsequent release from the promotion.
These two welterweights have squared off before; Fitch defeated Burkman via rear-naked choke in the second round at UFC Fight Night 4 in April 2006.
Burkman—who is known as “The People’s Warrior”—is now 2-0 in the WSOF, and is coming off an impressive first-round TKO victory over Aaron Simpson at WSOF 2.
Check out the video above. Both fighters are confident and aren’t just predicting victories; they are predicting beatdowns.
