New opponent? No problem for UFC 111 fighter Ben Saunders’ fighting style

On Wednesday night, Ben Saunders and Jon Fitch were just two guys on the same fight card.

Saunders went to work out in the rooms designated for UFC 111 fighters and happened upon Fitch. Thinking nothing of it, the two joked around in between exercises and wished each other well at the end of the session.

Thursday morning, Saunders got a text from one of his friends. He then jumped onto MMAjunkie.com and realized a fight with Jon Fitch, who lost opponent Thiago Alves, could be a possibility.
