For Josh Burkman It’s Not About Avenging a Jon Fitch Loss or a Title, It’s About Being the Best

BAD MMA News — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 21:47:33 +0000

Since signing with the World Series of Fighting last year, welterweight Josh Burkman has worked his way into the position of being one of the promotion’s top 170-pound fighters with two wins in two fights for the company. As Burkman told MMAWeekly.com , getting to this point was his objective from the beginning. “My goal was to go in and win fights against top competitors and become a feature guy in the organization,” he said. “(President) Ray Sefo and (matchmaker) Ali (Abdel-Aziz) promised me they’d go out and get top talent and they’ve done that. “I’m real excited about the show, their deal with NBC Sports Network, and I think we’re headed in the right direction.” Burkman will get a chance to prove he’s tops in the promotion when he takes on fellow former UFC welterweight Jon Fitch on Friday in Las Vegas, live on NBC Sports Network. The bout is a rematch of their initial fight seven years ago. “The only thing that carries over is I remember getting beaten up by a very good fighter,” chuckled Burkman.
