It seems that no matter what Jon Fitch does he is hated by MMA fans everywhere. Part of it has to do with the way he doesn’t finish fights.
The man has rarely ever seen a win that didn’t see the scorecards. Making it worse he won’t fight teammate Josh Koscheck. Not willing to fight the best in the world even if they train with you and then complaining about not getting title shots is not the way to make more fans.
Fitch may talk about trying to finish more fights, but actions speak louder than words and his show that he would rather win fights without risking a great lead rather than go for the glory. It isn’t something he can be faulted for. Fighters step in the cage to win and get paid and Fitch does both.
At the same time fans help with who get title shots. If they are more willing to pay to see one matchup then a different one. Fitch doesn’t seem to realize this or at the very least accept it and because of it he rubs fans the wrong way.
But he isn’t the only one. Here are some more fighters who can’t seem to get love from the fans no matter what they do.
