Yup, that is all Fitch ever does. He is just going to grind out all 3 rounds and win by decision.
And I don't think BJ is going to get much chance to keep it standing or even do much damage standing. Thiago Alves couldn't do it and he is a far better striker than BJ and has strong takedown defense as well.
Fitch will just keep knocking him down, sit in guard and do enough to get a decision. I don't see him submitting or TKOing BJ, but I don't see BJ submitting Fitch either (not if Fitch sits in his guard anyway).
The only way I see BJ winning is if he somehow manages to get his BJJ game going and can get Fitch out of his guard. Fitch is just too experienced to be caught with something in guard.
