A note on the interview with Jon Fitch: when the recording starts, he is talking about his fight with Demian Maia. He fought sick because he knew how the UFC treats fighters who pull out of bouts on late notice. They cut him anyway after the decision loss. He covers that and much more, including details on the anti-trust lawsuit, his ukelele videos on Instagram, and some free life advice on diet and healthy habits.
