Official UFC 144 RBR Thread !

Sexiyama looks a lot healthier at the weight. I picked Shields to win in the league, but I can see Akiyaka forcing a brawl with him and stopping him.

 

My picks have been hideous, but I'm enjoying this card tonight.

Still four good fights to come.

 

Yeah, I can see Akyama winning this.....Jake´s stand up is awful.....

Interesting fight......

 

MARKUUUU HUNTUUU!!!Ftw

 

I would love this to break out into a grappling contest.

 

they couldn't be worse than mine. :-(
I'm only good at picking losers. :verysad

 

Closeish round. I give it to Akiyama, who stuffed and then tripped Shields. He looked the stronger of the two but Shields was in there.

 

that was an amazing trip.

 

That liddel right hand was beast

 

Shields looks weak at 170.

 

Another great throw! But Shields has worked hard this round. Akiyama didn't allow Shields to really impose himself though.

 

Shields working harder and more consistently but can't score a takedown and has no power. Sexiyama only working in bursts but doing the more spectacular work. Hard fight to score IMO.

 

Which one of you said that Akiyama had "world-class" Boxing ability?

He if was half the boxer that some of you have made him out to be then Shields would have been starched in the first. I swear, that guy is complete garbage. He looks like the grade school playground ***** flailing away at a bully.:roflatsch

 

So Akiyama has no stamina at the weight. Shields took the last round fo'sure, that was classic Shields at the end there. Could go either way, especially in Japan, but I'd shade te 2nd to Shields as well.

 

every time someone tries to sink a rear naked choke, I instinctively drop my chin down to my chest, it's weird ****.
