John Fitch :"aybe after I'm going for the title"

Jon Fitch (21-3-1) will have their rematch at UFC 111 on March 27 against Thiago Alves (16-6) at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ

The American Academy of Kickboxing feel you should get another shot at the title with a victory.

At its first meeting in June 2006, Fitch was dominated by Alves with wrestling and in the ground until achievement Alves finish the fight in the third round with a bang.

"I'm very excited about this fight. I can not wait," said Fitch.

Asked if he is doing something different with their gameplan or elsewhere in their training in the rematch, Fitch said: "No. As I follow the same course that I have been in the past year - the strength and conditioning coach, my instructor standing in the fight Gary Owens, and returning to my wrestling and all that last year - I assume this type of game plan. I've had much success with it. "

The game plan can be the same, but the California-born militant known to have improved much since that night in Las Vegas nearly four years ago.

"We are two different fighters from the first time we fought," Fitch said in MMAWeekly.com. "He has also improved its standing fight, but believe it will become amazing? This is something we'll see. I think I have enough tricks that if I have to fight standing hurt.

He is currently ranked No. 2 in the welterweight division and Alves is No. 3, Fitch feels that with a win should get another title shot. Asked if there will be an option to fight for the title if you get a win, the wrestler, 31, said: "I think so. If I can finish in Thiago in three rounds, there was no way anyone can argue that I deserve to fight by the belt. "
