Jon Fitch Twitter: Nick Diaz Is a Paper Champion, Fight with GSP Won’t Be Good

Sour Grapes Alert: Jon Fitch Describes GSP vs. Diaz as “Bullshit”

And don’t even get me started on the so called “birth certificate” of our president, you guys. Guys?

Well, that didn’t take long. With GSP vs. Diaz looking more likely by the day, you had to figure that someone would have a problem with it. Yesterday Jon Fitch let it be known that even though he is out of action due to a shoulder injury, and he kind of has a rematch with BJ Penn waiting for him when he gets back, he should be next in line to fight GSP. Jon Fitch was prompted to voice his displeasure for Nick Diaz by a rapture joke (seriously), and kept going on his Twitter account from there. All thing’s considered, it’s pretty entertaining. The results are after the jump, in chronological order.

*Note: Some of these are things that Jon Fitch re-tweeted.  For those who don’t use Twitter, “re-tweeting” gives you the option of sharing what other people wrote with your followers. Basically, it’s your way of either saying “I wish I wrote that” or “I wish I could write that without getting in trouble”.
