Georges St. Pierre vs. Jake Shields

That would be great. Apart from Alves I dont remember him being in guard for years.

 

GSP is very hard to take down, Shields could get worn down quickly if he does not time his take downs well. That said, biggest test for GSP since Fitch.

 

I don't think this fight will be boring because I am actually interested to see who is better on the ground between these 2. GSP has a big edge on the feet but should it go to the ground it should be interesting.

 

i think gsp has better conditioning, and js will tire if it goes in to later rounds

a guy who cant submit anyone vs. a guy who refuses to try to finish anyone. this will be one of the most boring fights of the year

 

It's fun to believe in the hype and think this is actually going to be a competitive fight. Reality is, GSP dominates Shields. GSP is better on the feet and ground. Make no mistake. We can talk all we want but we'll see saturday night.

 

Shields wins by first round armbar.

 

I like your analysis method Pelench, someone is only what their last two fights are, I will try it myself:

Based on your last two posts, you have a very low attention span and if you are still reading this, you would fair better watching something like pro-wrestling.

 

Shields best six wins are probably Henderson, Miller, Kampmann, Condit, Sakuari and Okami. All by decision. The simple fact is that whenever Shields goes against anybody with decent grappling he fails to come anywhere near to submitting them.

 

nick thompson Bjj blackbelt and holder of 22 wins by submission submitted by sheilds.

Mike Pyle Bjj brownbelt and has 17 submission victories one over Jon fitch was submitted by shields.

 

Sorry your points have completely contradicted me. After all its only like Thompson had 14 defeats in his MMA career (half of which were by submission) and Pyle has been submitted by such world class fighters as Matt Horwich, Valdas Pocevicius and Brock Larsson. Boy do I feel stupid. Egg all over my face.

 

what you said was that he never submitted anyone who has decent grappling, you are wrong. Im sure your used to being wrong though.

But also the original point that Pelencho said was that "Shields never submitts anyone" which is obviously not true considering he submitted Robbie lawler and Paul daley as well.

Ps. saying half of Thompson's losses were by submission is not completly accurate considering 3 of those submission were to strikes.

 

I stand by what I said - MMA grappling is different to jiu-jitsu.

 

so what is your point? is it that Shields is unable to beat Gsp by submission?
