Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva Fight Video UFC 153 RIO 3.
Erick silva fought like a warrior, to the end of his strenght, which is admirable considering the man he eis fighting. Im really sad about the result but Erick show heart, i know he will be back
holy crap what a beating.
Jon Fitch can’t finish a fight against a person w/no takedown defense. Sad.
oh one more thing to Marco. Obviously you didnt watch the same fight i did cuz warriors dont taunt and disrespect their opponents or they get beat. That anderson-erick silvia taunting ends tonight, thankfully. Some people view it as showmanship i view it as crap. Indio got Endioed.
Fitch exploited Silva’s weakness which was grappling and imposed his will. Good win for him. Silva is a young talented fighter and will learn from this loss.
fitch looked like a new fighter still a wrestler but looked motivated
Erick just got fitched bad.
Nice work John..and thanks Bruno..
Got a little story for you Bruno:
About 2 years ago, I had 7 very young chickens that were hatched out by my own hen. Ya see, the hen had sex with my rooster. That’s how reproduction works.
Anyway, for those that don’t know, you have to keep very young chickens separated from the rest of the flock until they’re big enough to fend for themselves. The adult chickens will go all “Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir II” on their asses. So we put them in our horse stall down by our pond. Well, one morning I went down to feed them and all but two chickens were mauled to death! Pissed off this MMA fan pretty bad. So I took a picture of this mess and sent it to my good buddy via my cell phone. He asked what happened. And I responded “Well I can guarantee you that it wasn’t Jon Fitch, because he’d still be laying on top of the first chicken he got a hold of!”
With that being said, I have to admit that he was very impressive in this fight. He didn’t get the finish, but that’s only because of the amount of fight in Silva. Let’s hope Fitch keeps fighting this hard in the future.
Nice job on Fitch’s part. It’s a hard fought loss for Silva, but the first time he’s faced a top five fighter and he now knows what he needs to do in the future to improve his game. Bruno your wallet is now 100 bucks lighter.
Bruno: On that fight but came out +$370 on the night.
Damn I said I hoped Erick doesn’t get Fitched,he did,badly…still no KO.
Nice beatdown clinic. Silva will come out of this better cuz of it.
Fitch is a stud. Let the haters hate.
how was the last round not 10-8 or even 10-7?
sweet! nice fight!!
Erick is good but at a lower level.
They shouldn’t put him in front of Fitch. Fitch is a different class.
That was a nice ficth beating. Dominated. Sometimes those are worse then getting finished. Getting pummeled for minutes on end. He got beat the F*** up
I’m happy to see Fitch win. He looked good against an athletic young killer like Silva.
This was like the Dave Terrell fight, a young talented rising star who was KO’ing people quickly, then he came across Evan Tanner and got handled and was never the same…I hope Erick Silva comes back but he got Tannerized badly, and he looked broke psychologically….he may never have the same confidence again, ever..just saying.
Welcome back John Fitch. What a fight!
This dude is a beast, he just overpowered a more powerful fighter Like GSP says, it’s all about technical skills.
John Fitch is the most hated underrated fighter; it’s my opinion, just an opinion folks.
As far as I am concerned he belongs to the top 3 WW, and has been for a very long time.
Dana just doesn’t like him at all, since this stupid video game controvercy.
I love how people say Silva has no grappling skills. He was fending himself pretty well and attempted some submissions himself.
Fitch fought brilliantly, Erick fought arrogantly. Differently of what “vegas” said, Erick’s showboat in the beginning has nothing to do with Anderson’s strategy. Anderson uses it to reveal his opponent’s weaknesses, to control the fight, and to break his opponent’s spirit. Erick is far from that. He is good, but taking this beating will teach him a lesson he needs to learn and will make him much stronger in the future.
Wow haven’t finished anyone in 5.5 years, impressive. I guess the interesting thing is, with that much cage time he’s only been stopped once. Logged a lot of mat time.
Fitch really, has finally evolved to a real sick gnarley type of fighter, a dangerous fighter now. Fitch style and skillset is what ufc is about, that is the fighter who would be going home to his family that night if it was a real hand to hand him or me combat situation. Excellent fight there Fitch.
Vegas, i dont think you understand that erick silva`s movement is part of his strategy, the “taunting” is used to distract his opponent from his real intentions, just like his movement or the placing of his hands, they are low so the opponent doesnt anticipate what he is going to hit him with, anyway i still think Erick show a lot of skills and with few adjustments to his strategy he can become a future contender
Bad scoring, again…
last round was a 10-7 in my opinion. At least a 10-8.
Judges shut give 10-8 way more often. 10-9 should be when a round is close. 10-8 obvious winner and 10-7, etc when dominated.
Funny how everyone keeps saying fitch doesn’t finish. It’s worse getting your ass put on the grinder that long. I’m sure more would rather be finished and over with. At least he doesn’t lay there. He works and fukks people up. Took Erik to school.
Thanks for getting this vid up, Bruno.
Waited around most of the day to see this amazing, “changed” Fitch everyone is raving about.
All I saw is the same old Jon Fitch. Heavy in the grappling, didn’t get the finish.
On the other hand, can’t wait to see Erick’s next fight♠
Bruno: Had to do a lot of work around the house today. Made it hard to keep the vids up as they get taken down so fast. I can’t believe nobody is comenting on the CRo Cop fight from today with the sucker punch and all.
John Fitch is the most hated underrated fighter. — Agreed. Also Silva is a punk, and with this fight he was educated. It was so one sided, and I also couldn’t believe Silva couldn’t put the fight away with his chock attempts. Pathetic and overrated, but he will get better.
I like to see my boy fitch making a come back.. He is a grinder.. Love the kid.. still remember when he was undefeated and had his eyes on that belt.. unfortunately GSP is just “that much” better then most.. Congrats Jon..
I love when Rogan says someone is getting ‘battered’. Really funny to hear …
they should show more states during fights
P.S.. i absolutely loved how silva came out all cocky in the first and fitch takes him down and takes his back within a minute.. The look of silva… lol its like he all a sudden said OH s***,, THIS GUY IS GOOD.. lol What a dumbass.. totally deserved an All American Ass whooping..
id say that was the best performance i seen in fitch in a long time.
Good performance by jon. I think jon was a little to much to fast for erik hopefully both will have good performances in the future
watched this last round again.. still cant figure out out they did not stop the fight near the end.. That should have been stopped.. there was no intelligent defense..
I never comment but I got to give credit to Fitch he came in this fight looking seriously hungry , this kinda fight teaches those whom are too cocky to be humble n retrain to go into their prime
Fitch is Awesome! who else could have got out of that choke? true Warrior! Fitch Owned him in the 3rd.
