    Tough fight for Robbie, Shields may be a welterweight, but he is a big one and Robbie also used to fight at welter.

    Shields is a very determined grappler who won't give up on the takedown and isn't afraid to take his time in getting the win on the ground. Conversely, his stand up is not in Lawlers league and he could very well get KO'd.

    Tough fight to call, I enjoy both fighters, and am glad Strikeforce is finally giving Shields a good fight.

    Awesome freaking fight I like the matchups Strikeforce has made since buying Elite XC.

    Lawler would knock shileds the fockkk out. Shields better go for the takedown cuz if he stands with lawler, he will get knockout.

    Yeah, Strikeforce seem to be doing a good job. Also unlike Affliction, they plan of doing shows regularly.

    They're not much for weightclasses are they? Oh well. Let everyone from 160 to 190 fight and see who comes out on top. I guess at the end of all this I'd hope to see Shamrock vs. Lawler, but we may end up with Sheilds vs. Diaz. Weird.
