Considered one of the greatest challengers for the welterweight belt, the American John Fitch (15w and 2l) is seen as the greatest revelation in the UFC category. The wrestler will enter the octagon this Saturday in Ohio at UFC 82 to challenge Team Quest representative Chris Wilson, who is coming off of a four fight winning streak. John holds a series of triumphs even more impressive than that of his opponent, as he has won all seven of his fights since arriving in the organization.
Only one man holds a more expressive winning streak than Fitch (which may be equaled this Saturday). That man is none other than UFC hall of fame legend Royce Gracie. The Brazilian won eight in a row, all by submission in only three UFC shows (1, 2, 3), having had three fights during the first event and four during the second. The title of definitive champion of the category will be disputed in Canada at UFC 83 between Georges Saint-Pierre and Matt Serra. According to rumors, Fitch would be next in line to challenge the winner of the bout, should he beat Chris Wilson.
