Jon Fitch has confirmed that he'll be facing Akihiro Gono in the stacked welterweight division at UFC 82. Fitch, who has only 2 professional losses and is undefeated in the UFC, most recently defeated Diego Sanchez in 2007.
Gono has been in various organizations before signing on with the UFC and earning his first victory in November.
Fitch has been flying under the radar for the past 2 years and with a victory over Gono, should be a serious contender for the welterweight title. Either way, he'll have to play the waiting game with Matt Serra on the mend and scheduled to defend his title against Georges St. Pierre in April.
