Jon FitchOne of the great things about mixed martial arts is the diversity of styles it offers. Some fighters like to stand up and strike, others look to go to the ground as quickly as possible, and some of us put it all together and feel comfortable wherever the fight goes. I have always prided myself on being well-rounded, well-conditioned, durable and able to break the will of my opponent.

I think that because I bring so many tools to the table, a lot of my opponents don’t know where I’m going to go and more often than not concede to the fact that I will overwhelm them. It’s very hard dealing with more than one thing at any one time, and I always make sure I’m bringing multiple threats into a fight. I never just rely on one skill or discipline to win a fight.
