UFC: Ranking George St. Pierre's 12 Title Fight Wins
10. GSP vs. Jon Fitch
Jon Fitch is the Rodney Dangerfield of MMA. He just gets no respect, we tell ya! Well, that's mostly due to a fighting style that's about as exciting as watching paint dry. Fitch got his shot at GSP at UFC 87 in 2008 after the champ reclaimed the welterweight title from Matt Sera. It was, unsurprisingly, a decision victory for St. Pierre (he would have only one finish victory after the Fitch fight). The difference between Fitch and GSP, however, it that while both had dominant wrestling, GSP was active when he had guys down, while Fitch used a lay and pray style that put fans to sleep. Arguably due to his unpopular style, Fitch never got close to a title shot again.
