News

After his surprise release from the UFC, former UFC Welterweight contender Jon Fitch has reportedly signed a four-fight deal with World Series of Fighting. ESPN.com were the first to break the story.

Fitch is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Demian Maia at UFC 156. Great decision by Fitch, who presumably could be a few fights away from another stint in the Octagon but first he could be presumably headed toward a clash with the winner of the Aaron Simpson-Josh Burkman fight later on this year.
