UFC not interested in Penn/Fitch II

Their original tango at UFC 127 in February was supposed to determine the division’s top contender. Unfortunately for the welterweight class, 15 minutes weren’t enough to determine who got next dibs at champion Georges St-Pierre’s crown.

‘Penn vs. Fitch II’ was immediately rescheduled for UFC 132 after their controversial draw was rendered, but each 170-pounder subsequently suffered injuries that postponed their mulligan.

Their rematch had been rumored to go down later this year, with October emerging as the front-runner to host the scrap. Well, it appears UFC matchmaker Joe Silva has erased Part II from the Octagon’s immediate agenda due to lack of interest.

Here is the Twitter conversation Penn and Fitch engaged in over the weekend, with the Hawaiian posting his last comment just moments ago:

The UFC just does not like Fitch. I think that has to be VERY obvious.

Penn: @jonfitchdotnet Please stop flooding my twitter with this monkey business. @danawhite

Fitch: Ill be good in oct. lets settle it.

Penn: @jonfitchdotnet @danawhite October is perfect. I’m in

Dana White:

Penn: @jonfitchdotnet still waiting for your reply about October… or was that just a publicity stunt?

Fitch: Its on.

Penn: @jonfitchdotnet Nice!!! (:

Penn: @jonfitchdotnet tried to make it happen but Joe Silva said “the fans don’t want it & I’m not interested“. Not much more I can do on my end

TweetSaw this joke today:


Did you hear the one about Jon Fitch becoming a vegetarian? Apparently, he couldn't even finish a hamburger

TweetI FITCH WAS WORTHY AS THE TOP GUY, HE HAD HIS SHOT AGAINST GSP AND GOT HIS ARSE HANDED TO HIM

TweetHe is a descent fighter.....just way too boring. He hasn't finished a fight since 2007 and he just grinds his way to decisions. That doesn't play a big role with the UFC big wigs
