Jon Fitch looking for an upset against St-Pierre

Fitch enters UFC 87 as a 28 percent underdog, according to the betting odds at Bodog. While the American Kickboxing Academy product has ousted numerous ranked welterweights in his path to a title shot, on paper, there isn’t one area where the challenger holds a clear-cut advantage over the multi-faceted St. Pierre.

“I’m not a gifted person,” Fitch said in a video interview with MMAJacked. “I don’t have any natural attributes. I’m a regular guy who just busts his (expletive) to get where he is.”

UFC 87 is in many ways a proving ground for both fighters: a test of whether St. Pierre can truly carry the mantle as the undisputed king of his division, or whether Fitch can achieve that indefinable quality that would make him more just than just a face in one of the UFC’s most crowded fight divisions.
