GSP vs Shields
The fight I'm most looking forward to is this one. It's not 100% a go yet but when Dana re thinks his contracts and public demand I'm sure he'll see sense.
I’m not even gonna start saying too much about GSP (nickname RUSH), as I don’t think he’ll lose too many of his upcoming fights in 2011. He’s so on top of his game and completely in the zone.
Jake Shields has only knocked out his opponent three times, but has submitted his opponent 11 times in his career. Shields is excellent at submitting his opponents and has proved to be master at it. This is his strength and he will need to be able to use it when facing GSP. He only has one major weakness; his boxing. He is very well-trained in Jiu Jitsu and would definitely be considered a submission specialist.
GSP could also try to submit Shields, but keeping it standing would be beneficial to Rush. With his jab that he utilised against Koscheck, it could be all he needs to defeat Shields.
Shields needs to take control of the fight from the beginning and fight at his own pace. He is definitely outmatched in this fight, and will need to have the fight of his life in order to beat GSP.
Dana's gonna put off this fight as long as possible. Right after Shield's shitty performance leading to the split decision, Dana must have been thinking that this was the biggest waste of ink to ever go on a contract deal. I don't see Shields having a big shot in this fight, although if his cards fall right, he could pull one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. But lets be honest, “NO CHANCE!” Anyone think I’m wrong???
