I think GSP has enough versatility to dictate this fight and choose where it goes and how he will perform. But the odds on Jake Shields to win are too good to not put money on. I'm leaning on GSP to win but I think shields doesn't get enough credit for this fight. Just like Couture, I've learned to never count him out. that said Machida will destroy him.

Some guys just don't have finishing power, I enjoy watching shields but others say he is boring because he doesn't finish but when Frankie doesn't finish people still like him because he stands. It's just lack of respect for the ground game. [/color][/quote] Yeah, I don't think a lot of guys get enough credit when they win by decision... it can be awesome watching someone totally out-box or out-wrestle their opponents and fight more intelligent fights. Look at St.Pierre in his last 7-8 fights - his detractors will say "he hasn't been finishing fights": to me, it doesn't matter - he has been totally dominant, never even losing a round and never being in trouble - against the best of the division too. [/quote] Some of the best fights I've ever seen have gone to the judges scorecards. BigNog/Couture, Maynard/Edgar II, Rampage/Henderson etc.

I get the same way before a Silva fight. I think GSP will win. So no worries same here I think we'll either see a rerun of the Koscheck fight or GSP will take Shields down so much that Shields will look like he is one of Stevo Poulin's victims.

How many professional MMA fighters have you fought and finished? I guess your not in the place to judge. [/color][/quote] really? that's your argument? this logic says i can't judge politicians since i've never been a politician. i can't judge basketball players since i've never played professional basketball. i can't judge cashiers since i've never been a cashier. [/quote] I've been a cashier

I've actually always rooted against gsp (don't care for him) but am actually stuck in a rut for the first time.
