“They want me and Fitch to fight but i feel like i earned my spot in a title fight, and I’, going to try to push for that. I think Jon Fitch could definitely be my opponent for that, but I think he should come in here and try to win a fight first. He is coming off being cut by the UFC and coming off a loss, so I think he should come in our organization and win a fight and then I think me and him need to fight for the title if he wins that fight.” – Josh Burkman
