As Jon Fitch prepares for his WSOF 24 headlining fight against Yushin Okami tonight, his mindset going into the fight couldn’t be more clear.<\/p>\n

He spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a> to explain his plan for the fight, as well as what a win over Okami will mean for his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI plan on smashing him on Saturday, earning another title shot, and then fixing myself and my legacy in this sport and leaving it as a champion someday.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
