Josh Burkman is a man of his word. So when he signs a contract, you can expect him to fulfill the terms of it. That’s why the resurgent welterweight, who upset former UFC title challenger Jon Fitch this past weekend in World Series of Fighting 3′s main event, won’t be returning to the UFC even if his former home made him a new offer. Right now, his loyalty is to the WSOF, where he’s 3-0 with wins over Fitch, Aaron Simpson and Gerald Harris . Now 8-1 since his 2008 UFC release, Burkman recently nabbed an honorable mention slot in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA welterweight rankings . That was a direct result of his 41-second guillotine-choke victory over Fitch (24-6-1), which aired June 15 on NBC Sports Network from Las Vegas.
