Thumbs downBest fight: none. McKee vs. Thompson was off to a good start before the bullshit finish.

He also managed to miss Sapp tapping out right in fro...

By Leland Roling The big problem, however, is that Fitch has already lost to Georges St. Pierre as has Josh Koscheck. If Thiago Alves loses to GSP at UFC 100, an impressive performance could vault Swick toward the top simply to mix up the competition that GSP is defending his title against.
