Yo, I’m Jon Fitch. I’m a coach, writer, and retired MMA world champ living in San Jose, California.

I was born in the All-American city of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Super competitive from the start, I began wrestling and playing football at just 9 years old. My love of wrestling never went away and I found myself walking on to the wrestling team at Purdue University. Uninfluenced by people advising me down a “safe” path, I pursued a professional fighting career in 2002, which lasted 18 lengthy years. And I ain’t even tired yet.

Since retiring from MMA, I have focused on raising my two amazing boys, Mason and Atlas. I’ve also repurposed my fighter mindset into the workings of a serial entrepreneur through starting Fitch SMASH LLC and my one-on-one consulting and coaching services. I aspire to motivate others to reach their pinnacle, both physically and mentally. I work hard to promote a community of purpose-driven individuals through my weekly podcast, Jon Fitch Knows Nothing and my online community, SMASHSociety.
