UFC, Fitch Reach Agreement

News

According to Greg Savage at Sherdog, talks have re-opened between American Kickboxing Academy and the UFC. Jon Fitch was cut Wednesday after refusing to sign a merchandise deal that would give Zuffa lifetime non-exclusive rights to his name and likeness, and fellow AKA fighters Cain Velasquez and Josh Koscheck were expected to follow Fitch out of the promotion after their respective next fights.

UPDATE: Fitch has signed the merchandise contract and is back with the UFC. His January 31st fight is back on.
