JON FITCH Before UFC Career

Send a textJon Fitch stopped by the #LytesOut Podcast to discuss his career.  Fitch was one of the top five welterweights in the world when he fought for the UFC, Bellator and World Series of Fighting. But his road to the top was not easy nor was it a straight trajectory. Here, Mike Davis and Chris Lytle take Jon Fitch from his initiation into the sport while he was wrestling at Purdue University through the heights of fighting for the UFC. At times, the UFC isn't the lofty place it may seem. Fitch talks serious and honest. Thank you Jon. Subscribe to the Lytes Out MMA History Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdcebSeWpoMqcotWR_1rHnQ CHAPTERS:0:00:01 Intro0:04:02 Mark Coleman as a BJJ Coach0:28:45 Brad Kohler - Broken hand0:36:30 Fighting Wilson Govia0:40:38 Telling the Family I was a Fighter0:43:20 The Ultimate Fighter0:44:50 TUF Interview Process0:45:24 Creepy UFC Doctor0:46:18 Kicked out of TUF 10:47:48 UFC hates managers0:48:33 Crazy Bob Cook beat up Ken Pavia0:52:42 Christian Wellisch - Kensuki Sasaki FAKE FIGHT0:56:47 Shonie Carter / Dana White58:47 How UFC came to power - Conspieracy1:01:20 John McCain/Ali Act1:02:10 Fight Cancelation Conspieracy1:04:20 Can’t Find a Fight1:05:06 Fighting in a Tournament with Mono1:06:10 Fighting Mike Seal1:07:00 Master Vic Davila1:07:36 Fighting Jorge Ortiz1:08:31 Fighting Alex Serdyukov1:11:35 Jeff Joslyn was just a “Karate Guy”1:20:47 Jeff Joslyn controversy1:22:15 Telling Koshchek -Jeff Joslyn was tough1:24:30 Brock Larson was supposed to win1:26:30 Training at AKA1:30:15 Dana White isn’t my Dad1:30:47 Dana White Forcing Fights1:33:04 Contract Issues & Snakes1:34:22 Warning to Managers & Promoters1:39:45 Who is competing with the UFC?1:40:09 Scott Coker on UFC Payroll???1:45:18 UFC stole from my friends1:45:47 Mark Coleman as a cornerman1:48:56 Training With Coleman1:50:40 Phil Baroni1:52:30 Josh Burkman1:54:35 UFC Steroid Conspieracy1:57:05 Steve Mazzigati1:59:45 Popped for Steroids2:04:10 Firas Zahabi thoughts2:05:57 Training KhabibSocials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lytesoutpodcast/ iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lytes-out-podcast/id1568575809 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3q8KsfqrSQSjkdPLkdtNWb Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LytesOutPodcast/ Cash App - $mikedavis1231 Venmo - Mike-Davis-63 ZEILE: [email protected] / ph#: 773-491-5052 Follow the #LOP team on Instagram: Chris - @chrislightsoutlytle Mike - @mikedavis632 Miguel - @iturratemSupport the show
