Report: Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch II Moved to August 7th
Earlier we discussed the fact that there’s nothing wrong with wanting to see some GSP vs. Jon Fitch 2 action, but as everyone knows, that bout isn’t going to happen anytime soon. As we posted this AM, not only is it looking like the winner of next Saturday’s bout between Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley [...]
Jon Jones Would Fight Rashad Evans for a Million Dollars
Dana White recently decreed that the days of teammates refusing to fight each other are “over,” comments that came after another tit for tat with Jon Fitch, who continues to annoy the UFC boss man by refusing to fight AKA training partner Josh Koscheck. This is a doozy of an issue; no question. Some fighters [...]
Dana White Announes Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch for June 12th
If there’s one thing we’ve learned, while rattling on and on with each post, is that many of us here at MMA Fix have a remarkable ability to be wrong (no effin kidding right?).

Dana White Says Days of Teammates Not Fighting Are “Over”
One of the fascinating things about MMA is that sometimes good buddies have to get in the cage and, well, brutalize the other dude’s face.

Thiago Alves Eyeing UFC 114 for Next Bout
By now even ‘I only watch Chuck Liddell fight’ fans are aware of the fact that Thiago Alves underwent successful surgery this week in NYC, to correct the irregularity in his brain that punted his scheduled UFC 111 rematch with Jon Fitch (some ‘I only watch Matt Hughes fight’ fans could still be in the [...]
Ben Saunders “Jumped On” Opportunity
Unless you’ve been ignoring the internet the last couple of days, trying to show it who’s really in charge, you’re probably fully aware of the fact that Ben Saunders will now fight Jon Fitch Saturday, instead of his American Top Team buddy, Thiago Alves. It’s a ballsy move stepping up to fight a dude like [...]
Thiago Alves Says He Was “Too Young” in First Fight With Jon Fitch
This coming Saturday’s welterweight clash between Jon Fitch and Thiago Alves may be getting lost a little bit in the mix, which isn’t too surprising, considering that the UFC 111 card also features 2 title fights. Really, when you look at the resume of either Alves or Fitch, it’s a bout that could easily headline a [...]
Dan Hardy Blasts Josh Koscheck, Mike Swick and Critics
Recently, we’ve talked about the fact that talk regarding the upcoming March 27th welterweight title fight between champion Georges St. Pierre and challenger Dan Hardy, hasn’t exactly been burning up the internet. With the bout now just a few weeks away, perhaps this will change, especially if Hardy continues to get opportunities to share his ‘gift [...]
Cain Velasquez and Jon Fitch Debate the Guard’s Mortality
In an interesting story posted on MMA Junkie today, American Kickboxing Academy teammates Jon Fitch and Cain Velasquez apparently disagree as to whether or not jiu-jitsu’s hallowed closed guard, is an effective position any longer to end a fight in modern MMA. Fitch told Fox Fight Game recently (and we’re paraphrasing here in our own [...]
Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves Official for UFC 111
There was a time when news confirming that two of the UFC’s best welterweights were going to throw down, would drop the productivity of hardcore MMA fans working that day to less than our interest in seeing “Valentine’s Day” starring Ashton Kutcher.
