Top welterweight contender Jon Fitch (17-3) and Akihiro Gono (29-13-7) have been offered bout agreements to face off once and for all at UFC 94: “St. Pierre vs Penn 2″ on January 31 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, MMAmania.com has learned. This fight was originally scheduled for UFC 82 “Pride of a Champion” back in March at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, until a hand injury suffered by Gono forced Chris Wilson to step in and take his place. Fitch would go on to defeat Wilson, his eighth straight victory in the UFC, before losing a violent five round decision to welterweight deity Georges “Rush” St. Pierre in their championship match from UFC 87 “Seek and Destroy” on August 9.
