    As a MMA rookie how good are Lawler and Shields? Top ten? Top twenty?

    Lawler is the best MW in the world outside of the UFC.

    Lawler's the best middleweight not in the UFC that's not named Cung Le. :D

    Lawler is certainly the more active of the two fighters. No doubt the winner of tonight's fight will become the challenger for Cung's middleweight title.

    I only saw Cung fight Frank and frank is washed up so I don't have an accurate gauge on him. Lawler Cung would be an excellent fight. How do you think the extra weight will effect Sheilds? I think it"s a bigger deal then anyones alluding to.

    The weight difference is the intangible in this fight. Lawler could be too strong for Shields and just manhandle him - and conversely Shields could come in just fine with good conditioning and a speed advantage on Lawler. If he can put Lawler on his back - Shields should be able to hook a submission. I wouldn't be surprised to see anything from a guillotine to a arm triangle choke to a kimura or armbar.

    Read 'em and weep, guys. Five out of five on the main card tonight. Too bad I missed some of the rounds and subs.
