LOL at GSP finishing a fight. He wont fear his hands but he will fear the takedown. GSP will jab and run. Shields ate Hendo's right, I think he will be okay with GSP's.

if gsp wins, who's next? do people really want to see fitch again? i just don't think gsp vs fitch would play out any differently with fitch's wrestling being outmatched by gsp's. i just think gsp should take the silva match while he still has the chance. maybe beat up on diaz before that though.

**Pratik** · 03-31-11, 08:30 AM

I highly doubt shields will win. Shields has strong ground game but GSP is just way too good anywhere stand-up or ground. This fight will be kept standing and gsp will jab till shields eye is shut

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 04-01-11, 04:28 PM

wow, all the reports coming out that Shields bringing in Chael Sonnen to train him. This might be a lay and pray fight for the ages.

We knew Jake Shields had brought Chael Sonnen in to train with the Cesar Gracie team to get him...

If he trains him to take steroids maybe.

doubt this fight will ever happen. silva's already said he has no intentions of ever fighting jon jones. i'm more interested in a sonnen rematch. no way the odds will be as high for sonnen as it was in the first fight.

Holy shit! Chael looks like he weights 230lbs in that pic. Dude is jacked.

**Cap dat 4ss** · 04-04-11, 04:58 AM

I think shields only real chance is to catch a leg in a scrum

**rocky502** · 04-04-11, 07:47 AM

You will know who the winner is by mid round two. If Shields can take him down and control him on the ground, then we are in for a 5 round grinder that will be quite boring to watch because I don't believe Shields can finish him. I suspect the fight will go the other way and GSP will either stuff the takedowns and pick him apart. Or he may even win the tie ups and outwrestle Shields and if that happens, Shields will look irrelevant.

**sirchadwick1** · 04-04-11, 12:01 PM

Yeah, Chael looks huge in that pic... scary actually.

**JoshB** · 04-04-11, 01:31 PM

I think it will be like Fitch-St.Pierre, with Shields unable to get the takedown and being forced to stand with GSP. Shields will get lit up if that happens imo.

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 04-04-11, 02:50 PM

I guess Chael has not learned his lesson, he's on another steroid cycle.

**jin2daj** · 04-04-11, 03:54 PM

lol chael is looking gigantic but hopefully its just because he doesnt have any fights coming up.

**Pin2Win** · 04-05-11, 09:09 AM

I'm pumped for this fight, these two match up so well that anything can happen, I know GSP is one of if not the best wrestlers in the game but people are under estimating Shields wrestling, Shields will have to take him down and pound him but can he keep him down, can GSP get out from bottom, will shields be smarter then KOS and not block GSP's jabs with his FACE haha
I like both fighters so I really don't care who wins but just hope it's a great fight

**Camdemonium** · 04-05-11, 05:14 PM

Are you guys delusional? This is going to be the worst fight ever, except maybe GSP-Kos. Shields is way over matched. The guy "lost" to Kampmann for christ sake. I know everyone is going to bash me but after the UFC this post will still be here and I can point to it and say I told ya!

This is another event that the UFC hype train has got behind and the build up far exceeds the actual event.

**phillybadboy** · 04-05-11, 05:25 PM

guy hasn't lost in eight years,

**sportsfanatic** · 04-06-11, 05:32 AM

i actually think shields is the number #3 ww in the world. but this fight is just a horrendous stylistic match up for him. shields has a better chance of beating anderson silva than gsp.

**Vaughany** · 04-06-11, 06:23 AM

This is pure comedy...dude absolutely jizzin in his pants whilst interviewing Shields! His enthusiasm is CRINGE!....

**Vaughany** · 04-06-11, 06:25 AM

And more, Koscheck is like "Is this dude for real"!!!...

That dudes STARE and SMILE after every question is just creepy. I'd never be able to make it through an interview w/ him...

**Pin2Win** · 04-06-11, 10:29 AM

If Shields/GSP is not a good match up in the Welter weight, what do people think will be a more exciting matchup to watch? I couldn't really think of one but maybe someone else will...

That's one animated interviewer. He definitely ejaculated at the end.

I don't have an answer for that. Maybe Diaz. GSP seems to me to be head and shoulders above everyone else in WW div.

Dunno.

**phillybadboy** · 04-07-11, 12:31 AM

nick diaz will win inside the distance, 4-9-11, and his boy shields wins inside the distance 4-30-11 and then they'll meet to unify titles, shields beats diaz unifies ufc and strikeforce welterweight title

**phillybadboy** · 04-07-11, 12:33 AM

to win long term bet underdogs

ha yeah, even more of a joke that he was talkin about it to Shields, a guy who gassed out in his last fight after 2 rounds!!

**phillybadboy** · 04-08-11, 11:09 PM

diaz will win inside distance
