At the UFC 87 post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White said Jon Fitch would not be attending because he had to go to the hospital. A few minutes later who showed up? Fitch. One eye and all.

He sat down and grumbled that he had no intentions of going to the hospital. If you saw the fight, you know how tough he is. Showing up at the PC is additional proof of that.

When the press conference broke up, Fitch, along with his girlfriend, hung around and talked to reporters long after the others had left. This guy is a first-class fighter and a first-class person.
