I wonder if Nick Diaz told Shields before the fight: “aye homie, this frenchy aint got no stand up and you stand and bang with the 209 so knock his frenchy bitch ass OUT!! 209 SON!!!”
dunno bout you guys but I just saw makdessi and man:
There are gonna be some gifs tomorrow…
I didn’t watch any of this UFC.
But did George apologize for a boring match and say he will be more exciting next time?
wouldnt be shocked at all if that happened. the way gsp was striking…man stockton’s number 1 hero woud be toolin him on the feet.
Can’t expect GSP to always annihilate his opponents. I’m sure a ton of you thought he had a good chance against Silva after the Sonnen fight. Sometimes champions just have bad nights. It’s not like any of you were really expecting him to outbox Silva. I’ll never forget that he almost ended Koscheck’s career though.
GSP i am not impressed with your performance

Diaz would make GSP look like food.
and i’m not saying that just because i live in Stockton
lol kos has worst hands than shields. and no one thought he was gonna win on the ground. basically kos only had a hail mary ko on him. shields def had more tools.
Even though I lost $30 on this fight, I never thought I would ever see Jake Shields keep a fight standing and actually mess someone up. I just think Shields could get another title shot after 2-3 more fights if he just embarasses them.
give GSP 2 good eyes for the whole fight and the finish would be different
really? we’re gonna go that way lol.
Like most of UFC’s champions, GSP is the product of a considerable amount of hype. You can’t really consider guys like Hardy top contenders, they’re just sacrifices. GSP beat a washed up Hughes and a LW. Outside of that he doesn’t really have true quality wins. I guess a lot of the UFC divisions are kind of weak, but I do think Silva has had better comp and the LHW division is stacked. Just nobody except Rampage ever defends the LHW title. Bones probably will though.
Shields has fought some pretty good comp so I knew GSP couldn’t roll over him. I gave Jake a really good chance to win. I knew GSP wouldn’t be able to damage him standing, and I figured on the ground Shields had a solid shot. But GSP wanted nothing to do with the ground. It’s funny because usually GSP fans make excuses for him and claim ground work is far more technical and exciting. Now his nuthuggers have to pretend that standup display was technical, which I don’t think even they want to try.
This is sad, I’m seriously going to have to beat up GSP myself. What is the worse that can happen if I try? Shields didn’t even look like he was in a fight.
Shields definitely has the better form but I think Koscheck would still destroy him standing up. Hope they set that fight up next since Koscheck is expected to return soon.
Thats like saying “give Shields a brain and the fight would have been different”
I think Shields is done with WW. He’s better off at MW because he doesn’t have to cut as much weight and is healthier.
The only fights I would be interested if Shields moves to MW is Maia and Okami.
Damn, this means Chael Sonnen failed in his prediction of this fight. Oh well, as long as both cesar gracie fighters lost I don’t care how bad the fight was.
This. I’m not saying traditional martial arts are like zomg the best… but there is still valuable stuff to be gleaned. I feel like people crap on and give TMA no respect and blindly worship the Holy Trinity of MMA…
they may have lost but they def are in the upper echelon of fighting. that really says sumtin.
I never saw their fight but I always thought Okami would be able to do what Mayhem did but better.
