10 MMA Fighters We Want Back in the UFC

While Jon Fitch isn’t exactly the most prolific finisher in MMA, there is no denying that he is still an elite fighter. At 40 years old, Fitch is best known for fighting Georges St. Pierre for the UFC Welterweight title, but he has gone on an impressive win streak since parting ways with the promotion. He has beaten the likes of Paul Daley in Bellator, Jake Shields in the WSOF, and even has a title fight scheduled against Rory MacDonald.

The real question is: Can Jon Fitch compete with the UFC Welterweights currently on the roster? When it comes to the older generation, such as Carlos Condit and Dong Hyun Kim, I think that Fitch could dominantly beat both of them with his suffocating top pressure.

But don’t let his age fool you, as I think Fitch may also have a chance against some of the newer Welterweights in the UFC as well, such as a Dhiego Lima or even Mickey Gall. Will he be able to beat a ranked opponent? That is something that I am not bold enough to suggest, but I would like to see the former top contender turn back the clock to his glory days.
