Quote:
UFC welterweight Jon Fitch will be out of action a bit longer than he was hoping, as the former title challenger posted on his Twitter account on Tuesday that he will need to undergo surgery next week on his injured shoulder.
Fitch's injury forced him out of a UFC 132 bout with B.J. Penn, a rematch of their UFC 127 headlining bout that ended in a draw. He was hoping to rehab and return to training, but after meeting with his doctor today he got the bad news.
"This is the longest I've ever gone without training. Hope the doc has good news today," Fitch wrote early in the day. Then came the bad news:
"Looks like I will be getting shoulder surgery next week. Not the news I was looking for."
When asked on Twitter how long he would be out for, Fitch revealed it's now expected to be four to six months after surgery.

Hopefully they forget about him and do a new no1 contender fight, maybe BJ v Condit.
