Jon Fitch speaks out: "I'm irritated, I'm pissed off. I'm tired of being ignored."

“I get no respect, I tell ya.”
-Rodney Dangerfield, Comedian 1921-2004
In his nine-year career, UFC veteran and welterweight contender Jon Fitch just seems to not be able to catch a break despite being 13-1-1 in his UFC career with his only loss against current champion Georges St-Pierre.
