Fitch is one of the most underrated MMA fighters of all time. During this era nobody wanted to fight Fitch. GSP was just levels above everyone
Man sucked when juiced up Big Rig Hendricks put his lights out he was actually good.

People: "Usman is the greatest WW of all time!"
GSP: "Hold my poutine... "
Usman has quite a ways to go before he can fuck w gsp record
@@joshuajames2425 he already fucks with it tbh, he has to move up to middleweight and fight the current champ to truly cement his legacy
@@hayate503, no, he doesn't. 😆
And, he's not beating anyone in the Top 5 at 185, or at least the Top 3...
usman levels above George it’s a new time...
Yes, a new time, but no way in hell is usmin on the level of GSP
I see Fitch wobbly and cut, and I'm like: " Shit, GSP looks fresh still"
Then I stare at the clock and noticed it's only been 3 minutes. 🤣🤣
Thought the same 😂
bruh
Man I remember GSP winning every round but I forgot how dominant he was in this fight. Could have easily been stopped in those early rounds. Fitch has some ridiculous heart and conditioning!
Yea I thought the same. Could of sworn it would of been stopped first round .
I liked both fighters alot,when the announcement for this fight was made i thought that this would GSP's toughest fight and could possibly lose.
@@sunofpeter2 I remember feeling the same way
Yves would let fighters get bludgeoned without stopping shit
taking juice helps with heaet i guess
This version of GSP defeated everyone when there was no USADA. This man is one of the GOATs if not the GOAT.
Not mat Serra lol
@@yasin_ucar I'm not sure if you watch MMA but he beat Matt sera lol.
He was on the juice, why did he leave when USADA came in?

For me GSP is the most wholesome elegant Mixed martial artist.. Discipline , integrity , gratitude , , hardwork , always respect his opponents , control mental state in any scenario ,pure athletic performance , humble ,...for me he is the greatest one...
Almost all his wins someone puts him on their shoulder who could not like gsp

Racist!!
100%. So composed, fluid, and consistent.
Agreed!!!

despite being ranked in the top 5 he got cut after losing to Hendricks. His career was always in jeopardy and it set a precedent for who makes and who doesn't. At least Colby learned from Fitchs mistakes.

This fight could have been stopped 10 times over.
I feel like it should've been!
@@RebuildingSaad definitely bro
First round I was callin for a stoppage. Yeesh what a beating.
@@gminor6288 yeah man, he was wobbling like crazy and in my opinion was not able to effectively defend himself
It would have been stopped if they fought today
A most respectful scrap of gentlemen.
we can all agree GSP is the most complete fighter of all time, a wrestler that has proper striking and can utilize all of his weapons without taking much damage
Well, he was a striker first who somehow developed top of the line wrestling far faster than he should have been able to. Remember, he came to the ring in a karate gi for a reason.
@@Elthenar Exactly
You mean a striker with proper wrestling. GSP background is Karate, which, imo, was a reason his timing and explosive his double legs were.
A striker who has proper wrestling is rare af
@@Elthenar Yea but then again that's a statement to his mentality.Shael said GSP obssesed over doing everything perfectly so imagine the sheer amount of time spent to make great wrestlers look like amateurs in a short period of time.
His best win in my opinion. Fitch looked unstoppable until the matchup.
GSP was probably my favorite fighter in this era. An absolute beast but so humble and respectful as well. The dude put in work.
Sadly, all we have left are the memories. Miss him so much. My favorite fighter of all-time. GSP, ladies and gentlemen. The GOAT.
As sad as taking those 4 years off and then retiring again there was no more he needed to accomplish. Dominated guys who were also ahead of their time as well and at their peak could all be ranked in the top 8 in WW and LW today... Penn, Hughes, Fitch, Diaz, Hendricks, Condit, Alves, and Sherk.
Probably the best performance of GSP’s career. He was unreal in this fight.
Matt serra 2 was my favorite performance from his. It looked like an insecure pitbull fighting for his life who got unleashed on somebody
Holy shit Fitch is a tank, took so much punishment in this fight and went the distance
He was never quite the same after this fight
He might be a tank, but he was so completely outmatched. He went into that fight with extreme confidence and left humbled and never quite recovered from this beat down
dude cannot take big punch anymore after this.
And then Big Rig gave him the touch of death.
People forgot about Fitch. Guy was a beast.
Yeah specficially he was a Boar. Coz he was BOARing ASF to watch.

@@lukebroderick6920 Their both exiting fighters I have no clue what either of you are talking about

@@lukebroderick6920 casual.
Fitch might be the most underrated fighter in UFC history. If GSP wasn't so damn good Fitch would have been champion.
@PJ Rivera entertaining you is not his job..his job is winning the fight and taking the least amount of damage. Clearly you've never been to any martial arts gym in your life.
@PJ Rivera It's that kind of thrash logic that gets us forced to watch guys that are clearly washed up getting beat up for the sake of 'entertainment' .
Olympics counts as entertainement too and still results are everything. Call me a purist or w.e but your kind of reasoning is what ruined boxing.
If you think the fights are boring then change the rules accordingly.
@PJ Rivera And your point? I said change them accordingly, boxing is dying. Do you understand what accordingly means?
@PJ Rivera Boxing is not dying look ! We have a youtuber and an old man past his prime ! The mere fact that you have to mention them prove how low boxing has become. You can't kid anyone, the days of quality boxing where the top guys would actually fight eachothers is long gone. It's a cash grab for casuals now.
@PJ Rivera Pacquiao is washed lmfao, Canelo vs Saunders made 900k ppv, Fury vs Wilder did 850k meanwhile Mayweather used to make 2 and a half million back in 07.#notdyingtho
By the way 99% of boxers and mma fighters make shit money, everybody knows that. In MMA the belt allows you to promote your image as the best in the world and then market yourself as such, fighters under UFC contract aren't allowed to fight outside of it and that's a good thing.
No amount of boxing belts lead by garbage orgs will ever compare. When the UFC copies boxing and does huge mistakes like kicking or blaming someone for being boring without really good reasons it's a massive mistake.
Gsp perfected the art of mma , he’s like a stage performer everything is so perfect and flows together
GSP put on the clinic! This guy was no easy fight! He was on a 16 fight winning streak and GSP made him look easy!
Dead ass, Fitch was actually one of the men who got me interested in mma when I was around 12. Been a fan and a student of the sport for a long time. Definitely a savage
I felt like Jim Ross while watching this

I was wondering what that was!
pretty sure that's snot.
@@ShinkaTV Or Vaseline?
GSP has an underrated punching power though.
"The greatest challenger to GSP"
Yea, the first round itself made it crystal clear.
I’m from Québec and I can’t be more proud to be represented by such an athlete. At the third round we already know who was going to win gsp dominate him.
Vive le Québec libre mon homme
Fitch has a heart and an unfortunately strong chin in this fight. OOOf.
Career altering fight
This was very hard to watch.
@@nn-NeuralNetwork you telling me he had MORE FIGHTS after this. Whewwww
If this fight happened today, it would've probably been stopped. Especially when he was getting popped while on wobbly legs. Still a tough fucking dude.
GSP is fucking terrifying
I went to Purdue like Fitch . Too bad he never got the gold. GSP was just a beast
Gsp called his shot with never losing an upset again after that Serra 2 matchup those takedowns in the first counters in the second and the knock down(s) and escape in the third that heel hook at the end of the 4th this is honestly one of my fav GSP fights technical control amazing cardio proving the Serra matchup wasn’t a fluke guys the goat end of discussion
how about throwing in a comma or two there, buddy
Wtf is punctuation, right?
Losing to Serra was a fluke.
@@consumopersonal2900 FUCKING GRAMMAR POLICE EVERYWHERE !!
Everyone is talking about how underrated Fitch was but so was Jake shields. He had wins over all the top welterweights around 2014. Condit, Tyron, Lawler ect.
Never mind some top light heavyweights too such as Dan Henderson
Yeah and Fitch beat Shields too
Jake Shields is easily the most underrated ww fighter ever, when he fought georges he was on an insane streak
One of my favourite fights ever. People forget how tough Jon Fitch was. And both fighters showing what real respect & humility looks like.
Respect to Fitch, he was a seriously tough fighter
I watched this live, great fight.
Real talk Jon Fitch was one of my first ever favorite fighters in MMA, Dude was a beast and honestly looked unbeatable for awhile, It was unheard of back then for a fighter to go on such a huge win streak, By the time he had won 5 in a row it was wild he hadn't got the title shot yet. Was truly the dark horse of the sport. Dude was so dominant but not exciting by any means, Imagine Khabib without the ground and pound lol "Embrace The Grind" lol that was the story of every Fitch fight. I remember when he fought GSP I honestly thought Fitch would push him to the limit, This was the fight that made me never bet against George again, Absolute masterclass by GSP. But also great display of toughness by Fitch. Also, Nothing gave me goosebumps quite like Fitch coming out to Johnny Cash's Rusty Cage and timing his walk into the octagon exactly when the switch up happened in the song.
This guy has everything on every department of his art, even the fair-play...
He's the definition of a champion.
I love GSPs superman jab and leg kick combo.
Hoooly f*** how tough is Fitch? unbelievable
Lol the man was a tank with a chin of steel and heart full of grit. Lol
Such a great edit of the fight.. This happened before I started watching UFC so I’m thankful you put context of what led up to it. I feel like I saw it back when it happened now. 🙌🏽
This is the first video I've ever watched in this channel and I have to say the editing is superb. Great job.
It was crazy to see a division where there was clearly a number 1 (gsp) and an absolutely amazing clear cut 2 (fitch)
As a hard core GSP fan I always feared Fitch for his elite MMA game. However, watching this fight prove to me just how great GSP was. I was so impressed with Georges' speed and his ability to use a mix bag of mixed martial arts to get the win. This was a fantastic win especially after all of the questions that he isn't a true champion unless his defends. Well he definitely did and then went on to destroy Penn in the next fight. Great vid man.
A minute and 44 seconds into the video and I knew I was going to sub and this was my new favorite channel
Well put together video, nice job fr 👍
GSP is my absolute favorite fighter ever. I truly believe if he was in his prime in 2021 he would still be champ.
Easily. If people knew their MMA history, they would truly know that MMA hasn't evolved as much as they think it has since 2010. An argument can be made that the top 5-10 guys in the 2010-2013 Era are better than today's Era of fighters. Humans didn't suddenly evolve to the next level the last 5 to 7 years. GSP would be just as dominant in today's MMA, if not, more dominant.
@@one0onelion248 yeah cause people have been fighting for thousands of years but we just figured out how to do it in the last 5 years! like these guys in 2012 clearly had no clue what a jab or a left hook is. they just want to hype up current fighters saying they are all on a different level and it works, sadly.
@@shiiiitstain Bingo. Couldn't have said it better myself
@@one0onelion248 the only difference today is how much weight they cut
This was such a one-sided fight
Should have been stopped
GSP is the goat undefeated undisputed jk he isn’t undefeated but he is the goat doe
Word shawwty
Thought you were talking about Chael Sonnen
He still defeated every man he ever faced. He avenged both of his losses. Funny enough they were both named Matt! lol
The video shows he got koed by mat Serra lol
@@yasin_ucar And he avenged it dude 😂
And usada wasn't there back there uh? I LOVE GSP striking, is so underrated, people always talk about his wrestling but his striking is a thing of beauty. 😍
Usada came after the Hendricks fight, GSP was a karate guy his striking has always been pretty
GSP was one of the pioneers that advocate for USADA on the old years. Is just that he was really that good mate.
@@dreadslimglass4599 there is a famous interview when he gets on his knees and ask Dana for a title shot in that moment there is no way! He was natural, he was buff as fuck and vascular as hell.
How did George become such a good wrestler he didn't even grow up wrestling to take down all Americans and stuff their takedowns with ease it's crazy
His black belt in bjj might’ve helped
His fight IQ was extremely ahead of the mma curve at the time. Allowed him to dictate his takedowns like a master chess player.
he spoke about it a few times... he credits his karate background. his take downs and sprawls are based on the timing he used to get in and out of range in karate competition.
He trained with Canadian Olympic wrestlers
His wrestling coach was Russian!!
Fitch, not exciting but looked unstoppable, until he met GSP.
Guys like Fitch is why GSP is called the GOAT
This might be the most impressive performance of GSP's career tbh. Yeah finishing Hughes 2x and the revenge on Serra was great, but this was an absolute 25 minute domination of a very game top contender in Jon Fitch who had all but cleaned out Welterweight, and GSP made him look like an amateur in there.
Nice upgrades to production value!
Always enjoy a good reminder of how good GSP was
Requested video "Donald Cerrone nasty head kicks" or "Carlos Condits killer combos"
It's so crazy growing up during this era of the UFC and MMA because there's so many followers of the sport that will never understand just how GREAT GSP and all these guys who paved the way were.
It was watching history being made without even knowing it.
Great one ,thank you.
Fitch wasn't dangerous, but incredibly good at control. GSP's ability to crush people at their own game is unmatched, even today. The jab is the key to all striking IMHO.
GSp one of the completest fighter i ever seen,he is soo strong an he can all of the mma skills,stand up,crapling,boxing,kicks.. i love his fight skills
Good editing here :) I liked it :)
Bro Please Stay More Active ...
Your Videos Are The best And I Can Never Get Enough ...
Keep Up The good Work 💯
Man the money id pay to see this GSP fight khabib
Fitch’s wins I recall are smothering affairs, where the opponent gets mauled on the ground , and is powerless to stop it. Against top tier guys. GSP’s ability to better Jon in the ground game is startling, considering how in many other areas he was also top notch. Well rounded, but also superior, is jaw-dropping.
wholesome . full of class. both of them. love to see it.
But both still tried to annihilate the other. this is what respect amongst competition really means .
Not a lot of people talk about Fitch these days. Even new fans don't know about him. Hopefully, guy will be known to more fans.
Imagine dedicating your life to fighting, earning your way to the top MMA organization in the world after a series of tough fights, grinding your way through eight fights against the best fighters in your weight division in the world, only to find a freak outlier like GSP waiting at the top of the mountain. Then you get mauled like you're not even in his league. Young MMA fans likely don't even know who Fitch is, history only remembers the winners. RIP Jon Fitch, an extraordinary fighter forever in the shadow of a legend.
The fight could have been stopped many times.
I fuking love how perfectly this video is edited and put together, props to the creator.
GSP was on a level that few humans will accomplish.
I will always mention GSP vs Fitch when anyone ask about the most one sided fights in the UFC
I'd say Roy Macdonald vs Nate Diaz or Bj Penn
@BONNEE MCGEE he's right. Rory ragdolled Nate like a bitch in their fight. easiest win of Rory.
I still think it's Ferguson vs Gaethje.
Kattar vs Holloway is the most one sided
I still think it's Masvidal vs Askren
"mauling"opponents long before the term was coined
Merci de nous montres ces combat de st - Pierre apprécier
Full credit to Fitch in this fight. He seemed so close to being finished on multiple occasions, but he gritted his teeth and kept on fighting. GSP was a total beast at this time.
This GSP vs Usman wins 10 out of 10 times.
Lol no. I'm a fanboy of gsp but ppl wanted him to fight khabib a guy in a lower weight class. Different time, different animal
@@lecookie007 Khabib is a natural Lightweight? He was a 170lb fighter back in Dagestan. Dude was dying by just cutting too much weight. Khabib is a natural 170lbs fighter.
@@eetfuk3571 Well then that means Dustin, Chandler, Kevin Lee, basically All the 155ers are all natural 170 pounders.....well duhh.

@@lecookie007 gsp's walk around weight is 180 lbs. You are low-key a gsp hater
@@teamholloway7865 No I'm not, GSP, is GOAT for me. Khabib doesn't even make top 3-5 goats list. But no doubt Usman is knocking on that door of Goats right now. He's #2 in all of welterweight history.
This is one of my favorite GSP fights. I was afraid that Fitch would grind GSP and give him a hard time, but it was a one-sided beatdown. Respect to Fitch for enduring and staying in there.
Two of the classiest fighters to ever step in the octagon. Tri-Star 💙
Fitch was legit one of the best of his era.
I miss the days of watching GSP mercilessly beating his opponents to a bloody pulp.
That was a beating
In a YT genre replete with amateur hacks, this was a really great job, with truly lovely editing, (nothing else matters in fight videos) well done 👏🏼 SUBSCRIBED 😃
great reminder
Exactly how GSP vs Khabib would go if both fought in their primes. @ me.
no doubt about that
Very true. Gsp would dominate
Yep. GSP is too athletic, too well rounded, too fit, and too disciplined for Khabid
GSP WOULD ABSOLUTLY WRECK KHABIB
Well, yes, people highly underestimate the opponents gsp had to face in his career
I can’t believe buddy hung in with GSP all the way. Nowadays they would’ve stopped that shit a minute in😂 What a specimen prime GSP was. Sooo dangerous
No doubt in my mind the goat he snapped someone’s 16-fight winning streak and made it look easy
GSP was my fave MMA fighter of that era.....all class and always exciting to watch. The consumate athlete and showman
I always liked Fitch. I think Fitch stood at the top of the mountain. He was tough, had grit, very durable, had a vast array of skills, etc. Therefore, it's incredible to see how much more GSP had.
Can you make a video on Leon Edwards or Robbie Lawler
From Quebec George was at the beginning better known in USA and Japan than he was in Canada!!!
We are really Proud of the supers athlete and perfect gentleman, as opposite at Matt Huges Georges is humble like a real leader is.
Picking up Pierre after that beat down just shows the character & heart of Jon Fitch.
GSP é o maior meio médio das história do MMA!
GSP was the new generation MMA before the new generation arrived.
The toughness of Fitch is insane.
One of the best mma/ufc related channel, at the moment at least with all the work put in, jfcombat fell off and Martial liam made a name, i hope the channel owner sees this and make a Anderson silva pre ufc montage because theres a lot around but not like a martial liam production/montage 👊🏽
Nowadays would of been stopped in the first
And people still think Khabib can defeat GSP
This fight was insane love gsp man.
Gotta love the respect from Jon after taking the loss.
Or respecting the love, great sportsmanship and two class acts
Can you make a Mousasi top class fight IQ moments video
Calling out welterweights and such, man destroyed his own legacy, now nobody will remember him fighting heavyweights
Could have stopped in the 1st round imo
epic fight. keep the holden ones coming
John Fitch is one tough dude. Took a hell of a beating and kept fighting.
