Jake Shields vs. George St-Pierre

We have to think Jake Shields has a chance, to make the fight more interesting. He has a punchers chance, but with a freak submission. Thats all I give him.

Also Really looking forward to watching Jose Aldo, cant wait for that fight. Couture vs Machita is probably going to be boring, still nice to see Lyoto back in action.

I wrestled at Brock University for 3 years. I wasn't anywhere near the level of many of the UFC guys, but I can tell a superior wrestler from a guy with average skills. The link above shows a snippet from the Shields vs Kampman fight. Shields is not a superior wrestler folks.

Put him up against Hughes, Koscheck...or even one of my fellow Alumns Sean Pierson (fighting on the same card as St. Pierre/Shields) and it would become quite obvious that he isn't on their level. I'm not hating on the man -- he just isn't at that caliber. Shields is a grinder like Jon Fitch, not a superior technician.

Both guys win by lay and pray. So really I think its gonna come down to who ever can get the other guy down and lay on top of him each round. Expecting another boring ass fight from GSP especially when hes going up against another guy who's basically the same.
 
Shield will win by only submission. Which I don't see happening. How bout GSP wins this fight, QUIT DUCKING my boy Anderson Silva. Put your skills to the test, p4p. Puss.
 
Shields is no slouch. I remember people giving Hardy a better chance than Shields.

Shields has 15 straight wins with wins over Henderson, Mayhem, Okami, Robbie Lawler, who are all strong middleweights. He also has a strong chin and recovery, great cardio and insane BJJ.

His wrestling isn't at Kos' level, but he is more relentless and will try 5 rounds straight to take you to the floor, he has the cardio to do it, unlike Koscheck who think's hes a K-1 kickboxer at times and only shoots on you if he's in trouble.

It is certainly possible for Shields to sub GSP, but getting the fight to the ground is another story, plus even if he gets him down GSP is a great BJJ fighter too.

GSP is the best at WW. The guy is ridiculous and will probably be talked about for a long time after he's done fighting.

I think Shields can win 2 times out of 10 if they fought, GSP is too complete, too strong and too smart.

I think GSP's biggest hole is his stand-up, and that isn't too big of a hole anyway because he's pretty damn good at it and always getting better. Plus he doesn't have to worry about this aspect during this fight anyway, Shields is the probably first guy you'd want to have a kickboxing fight with if you were a UFC welterweight.
