UFCCagerattler Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hendo's only chance was to clip him early and he did it and came within a punch of ending it,. In the end Shields won because he has a far stronger game than HEndo ever did. Thats how good Shileds is. He will beat GSP the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotchEight Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 By not finishing him when he held a dominant full mount position the majority of the fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCCagerattler Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 By not finishing him when he held a dominant full mount position the majority of the fight? He had 8 sub attempts? I forget the score card but Shields dominated Henderson in every aspect of the game. SHields will outfight GSP because he is a better fighter.

Leiting Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Up front I'll admit I am a HUGE Hendo fan and as a fighter and a person I've never liked Jake Shields. But I'll man up and admit Jake was a better fighter yesterday. He had a game plan and he stuck to it. Would I have liked to see him be more active? Sure. He seemed rather content to mount him and punch him - but we all knew Jake never had the power in his hands to knock out Hendo, so it became a waiting game. I wasn't excited by Shields performance, but in terms of winning and keeping the belt, he did exactly what he needed to do. During the SCHEDULED fight he was a champion, the impromtu fight was another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSanta Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Jake Shields. I actually used to like him. Now I feel he is a mediocre fighter with mediocre talent. I couldn't see him fairing well in the UFC...I can't criticize his performance because I missed the event...but from what everyone says...it sounds like Shields did the same thing he did in the Miller fight. I can't see him beating GSP. I can't even see him beating someone like Koscheck or John Fitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoPig Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Yep I called Shields to win too. A few people wanted to sig bet me but it never went through, shame I had a doozy lined up. Never mind I will save it for Rashad v Rampage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
