Josh Koscheck Willing to Leave UFC to Avoid Fighting Jon Fitch

Want to see Josh Koscheck fight Jon Fitch?

Well, the closest you'll ever get to seeing this bout go down is either popping in a copy of "UFC: Undisputed" or traveling to American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, California to watch the teammates spar.

Koscheck and Fitch have had spats with UFC President Dana White in the past about fighting one another, and their stance hasn't changed over the years.

Both welterweight contenders have been close friends and training partners for a long time.

"If there's no one else for me to compete with at 170 other than Koscheck, I'm going to move up," Fitch told MMAWeekly.

At a recent Q&A session with fans, Koscheck continued to show that he shares the same mentality towards the idea of facing his teammate. But if forced to face Fitch, he admitted that he would do more than merely change weight classes.

"No chance (we will fight)," Koscheck assured. "It's not worth it to me. I would rather step away from the sport than fight Jon Fitch."

The idea of teammates fighting has been debated amongst MMA fans and pundits for years. With super camps forming and some of the world's best training under the same roof, it's becoming tougher to progress through a division without facing a few teammates or friends along the way.

Still, who really wants to see a fight between unwilling competitors?

"Me and Jon Fitch have been training together for eight years now. You guys really want to see us fight–Monday, Wednesday, Friday–come to AKA in San Jose. You guys can stand up there, you can watch us fight, and it will be free. You don't have to pay $54 for it," said Koscheck.
