Gsp will do the same thing JOnes did to Badar. Take him down in the first 30 seconds. that is what the elite Jackson guys do. Unfortunately for GSP Shields is crafty and won't fold up like and old used tent like Badar did with Jones.
Still can't believe Badar tried to pull guard. :facepalm: Looks like one of the rare times GSP is gonna go in with a size disadvantage. shields better get him early or GSP will start picking him apart at the end of round three. No wager for me tho. To high a risk for a guy fighting someone who has won 15 straight.
this is what i`m curious to see....st pierre has out-grappled everybody of late...but shields has been out-grappling guys for years....
and some of it at 185 to boot...
i hope it goes to the ground from the jump...i know everybody hopes for violent action....but for this one,i want to see two top level grapplers doing what they do best....
but his grappling is probably top 2 or 3.....very curious to see how this shakes out once it hits the ground...if it hits the ground....i suspect that an athlete like gsp will be difficult to take down if he wants to stand...
i can see taking a shot at shields...i may...not sure...but i think that gsp has huge advantages in strking and cardio...shields tends to gas a bit...
i hope we get to see the two grapple early...i`m sure it will be seriously high level stuff...
I think GSP controls it standing or on the ground. Shields grappling is not much different than Fitch and remember what GSP did to him. Plus GSP is a sick maniac who has only been training and getting better since then.
You are way off. Fitch is a wrestler that has grappling. Shields is a wrestler that is an ELITE grappler.
Fitch is a grinder. Jake is great with subs and is very dangerous in a ground fight.I meant to say that their styles are almost identical :shrug:
Btw how is fitch not an elite grappler?
