I think if Fitchy boy can handle Gsp standing up he could pull it off.
So yea i say Fitch

Tough one. I think they're pretty equal standing,both have good subs,but the advantage in sub defense IMO goes to Fitch. The advantage in wrestling goes to GSP...just by a tad. I also think Fitch has the better chin,but I dont see this staying on the feet long. GSP will try and take it to the ground very early.

Im hoping for Fitch via 3rd round TKO,but I see GSP winning a decision.

Yea and besides Penn...

I also consider Fitch, as one the most toughest and talented fighter that GSP will face.

I think Fitch is overrated. He's a good fighter, but I don't think he 'andle da rhydum that GSP will set. I also don't think Fitch will be able to do much when GSP puts him on his back. Fitch's sub D and his scrambling are both good, but I think GSP will have his way with Fitch. Fitch's standup, imo, is very mediocre.

I am rooting for Fitch, but I voted GSP cause of the way he handled Hughes. While Hughes is starting to go downhill, he is still a top three or four in that class.

Fitch is a very solid fighter and deserves the shot but GSP is better in every area of the game. His stand up is better (George's kicks make the difference imo) and his defensive and offensive wrestling is too good. The fight will take place where GSP decides it takes place. If he wants to stand they will stand and if he wants to take Fitch down he will. This fight is GSP's to lose.

I can't believe this is even debatable. GSP out matches Fitch in every catagory. I think we've got a GSP vs. Koscheck II on our hands. GSP wins this fight by domination.

I'm not a GSP fan but I want him to keep the title because GSP-Penn II is much more intriguing that Penn-Fitch for the title.

GSP is going to stuff Fitch's takedown attempts just like he did to Kos. This will frustrate Fitch and cause him to wade in more than he normally would. From there it's lights out, nice knowing you. Just my opinion.
