Jon 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.
