UFC 111’s Fitch says he’s ready for title shot, but trash talk not part of his plan to top

Top welterweight contender Jon Fitch needed an unheard-of eight-straight
wins in the UFC before he finally got his shot at the 170-pound title
in 2008.

He lost that UFC 87 clash with Georges St-Pierre rather handily, though
he’s since bounced back with three more wins.

While Fitch believes he’s more than ready for another crack at the belt,
don’t expect him to engage in some manufactured war of words to
convince fans or UFC brass that he’s next in line.
