UFC welterweight contender Jon Fitch will get a second chance to dazzle the New Jersey crowd this Saturday night at the Prudential Center as the UFC has re-booked him to face Ben Saunders on Saturday night (March 27) following Thiago Alves’ sudden withdrawal from the event due to a failed CAT Scan.
“Killa B” was already scheduled to appear on the UFC 111 fight card opposite Jake Ellenberger, who now gets bumped in favor of Fitch.
Ben Saunders Steps Up To FIght Jon Fitch At UFC 111
- From MMA Mania
This is a huge change for both men. Ellenberger/Saunders was a nice fight to begin with, but the change to Jon Fitch presents an interesting challenge for both me. Fitch’s wrestling style isn’t too different from Ellenberger, but he is a better all-around fighter. For Fitch having to go up fight a much longer opponent that he was training for is a huge test.
This is arguably the most interesting fight on the card now.
