Jon Fitch Considering Retirement, Thought He ‘Did Enough to Win’ Against Rory MacDonald

Jon Fitch has been on the brink of retirement for a few fights now, but the fact that he continues to win keeps him coming back for more.

The former UFC title challenger didn’t exactly lose against Rory MacDonald in the Bellator 220 headliner, so that personal vow is kind of in limbo at the moment. Fitch battled the MacDonald to a majority decision at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., in the final quarterfinal bout of the promotion’s welterweight grand prix. Since MacDonald is the reigning champion, he gets to advance to the semifinals of the bracket against Neiman Gracie.
