UFC 100 Matchup Analysis: Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago
UFC 100 is getting closer and closer and it is getting time to break down each and every fight on this stacked UFC pay per view card. So up first is Jon Fitch against Paulo Thiago.
Anyone remember Jon Fitch? He was the guy who tied the record for most consecutive wins in the UFC Octagon including beating Thiago Alves before fighting Georges St-Pierre, losing badly and being forced to fight on the Undercard of UFC 94. Well it looks like our old buddy Jon Fitch is back fighting on the broadcasted card against non other than American Kickboxing Academy nemesis Paulo Thiago.
Paulo Thiago remains undefeated after everyone expected Josh Koscheck to dispose of him at UFC 95. Well Paulo caught Josh with his head down and knocked him straight into next week. Oddly enough Paulo is a submission specialist winning 7 of his 11 fights by submission. Sadly I do not see Paulo being able to get a submission on Fitch and Fitch will grind this fight out to a decision.
Fun Facts:
-Paulo has already beaten American Kickboxing Academy member Josh Koscheck
-Jon has only lost two fights since 2002
-The combine record of Jon Fitch and Paulo Thiago is 29 wins with 3 loses
-Paulo’s standup is freaking terrible
