Jake Shield's @70 in the UFC , good move !!!!

I like the idea of a fight with Kampmann.

 

If Shields closes the distance he can take anyone. Shield's stand up may be awful. Henderson bounced a seemingly fight ending right off his head before being dominated for over 20 minutes, but that was at 185.

It's either knock Sheilds out, or lose. That goes for GSP, and maybe even Anderson Silva. Shields' ground game is that good.

 

Shields would grapplef%ck anyone at 170. Except. of course for St Pierre!

 

Glad to see Shields back at his natural weight: Jason Miller, Robbie Lawler and especially Dan Henderson are some big middleweight scalps to take, but 170lbs is where he belongs.

His finishing rate at welterweight is a lot better, he hasn't gone to decision since April 2006.

 

Good i really want to see someone challenge GSP at 170.

 

Shields stand looks bad, even on the pads. This is the fight where GSP could show his stand up in all its glory and avoid the ground. However I want to see him grapple with Shields. It would be like GSP saying he is unstoppable at grappling no matter who he faces.

 

I think Shields gets beat by 3 or 4 of the UFC WW's including Dan Hardy.

 

GSP only finishes Matt Hughes and Lightweights.

 

Shields would do to hardy exactly what GSP did. Hardy isn't that good, and his power is hugely overrated.

If Shields could dominate Henderson, he would have no issue with a one dimensional fighter like Hardy. He is on a 14 fight winning streak that includes these names:

Dan Henderson
Jason Miller
Robbie Lawler
Paul Daley
Nick Thompson
Mike Pyle
Carlos Condit
Yushin Okami

If all of those fights had taken place in the UFC, he would easily be considered a top 5 P4P.

 

100% and despite the fact he isn't pleasing to the eye, I definitely consider him a top P4P.

UFC hyped Daley as an eliminator level fighter. Condit is the man chosen to rebuild Hardy. Henderson is a bad man. These wins are top quality wins.

 

This man knows his stuff.

 

yeah shields is good, I do like that he is going back down to 170 (in SF his teammate nick diaz has the belt that he vacated) in the ufc he will -if he wins- will move up the p4p rankings currently according to sherdog rankings he is #8 ahead of him are guys like:
Jon Fitch
B.J. Penn
Frankie Edgar
Jose Aldo
I personaly put him at #4 p4p behind #3 fedor (#1 silva then #2 st pierre) when he enters the ufc if he wins agaist kampman his status will soar with the hype machine behind him.
shields striking is not great but better than most at welter though he doesnt have ko power even in his gnp.
