UFC 141 Preview: Johny Hendricks vs. Jon Fitch

Posted in Boxing classes | January 1st, 2012

No disregard to Johny Hendricks, a unequivocally good warrior given a unequivocally good shot to boost his career here that he won’t income in, yet a genuine torment will be subsequent after this quarrel is over. Nobody would seem to be improved positioned to gain on a new damage to UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre than Jon Fitch. He is a male who has spent a past few years as flattering most a plain #2 male in his weight category who could never strech a mountaintop given he had his one shot to play aristocrat of a palace and unsuccessful miserably. But now with pronounced aristocrat on a sidelines Fitch should be means to strech up, squeeze a halt pretension and afterwards wait for a lapse of GSP. Of impetus he has other problems, namely Dana White’s condemnation of his harsh style, that is given a admittedly some-more fan accessible Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit will get initial moment during it. Should Fitch win here, and he should rather easily, afterwards he should be in line to quarrel a leader of that fight.

The matchup itself seems to be a bit messy in a origination yet it is what it is and we are kind of stranded with it. Hendricks is somebody who could simply arise adult a ranks and plea for a pretension one day yet to chuck him into this low of waters during this indicate seems a bit ill advised. Then again if he ever were going to force his approach into a top row of a multiplication now is as good of time as any. His 11-1 symbol for his career is strong, no doubt about that, yet where accurately is his large win on that resume? He also has a same fad spin problem that Fitch has as his wrestling complicated diversion can put a fans to sleep. Fitch is entrance off a pull so forcing him to quarrel an adult and comer creates clarity yet they should during slightest give him a honour of fixation him a diminutive bit aloft adult a card.

The quarrel substantially deserves co-main eventuality standing yet a UFC can frequency be blamed for showcasing Cerrone and Diaz in that container deliberation what this foe is substantially going to demeanour like. A integrate of intensely successful college wrestlers incited churned martial artists who will be bringing really identical gameplans into a cage. Fitch has mowed yet foe most thicker than Hendricks and it will be engaging to see if he has any difficulty scoring takedowns given really few people have been means to stop it so far. Hendricks will also demeanour to occupy some belligerent and bruise yet he is also distant some-more assured on his feet, maybe overly so. Two fights behind he netted a KO of a Night reward yet a chances of him alighting one of those on Fitch are kind of long.

Age could be an X cause here and anybody deliberation laying income on a loser should remember that Fitch is giving adult 5 years and has not fought given February. Also his final 9 bouts have left to preference (he’s 7-1-1) so if Hendricks can somehow moment a formula and find a approach to start alighting bombs he should have a whole 15 mins with that to work. But as tasteless and terribly tedious as it sounds my prophecy is that this quarrel will demeanour only like a rest of Fitch’s UFC career. Hendricks might hang with him a bit longer than others have yet in a finish we should see Fitch out scheme him during each spin in a grappling department. I’ll go out on a prong and contend that Fitch will take all 3 rounds and impetus towards a quarrel of a opposite arrange as he looks to finally explain some arrange of UFC gold, yet this is where a play comes in to play. For years we have had to watch Dana White turn himself into pretzels to equivocate giving Fitch a pretension shot. An halt pretension is something different, something that White would cruise permitting Fitch to spot yet who is to contend what will eventually turn of his career.
