Jeffro21 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 If by test you mean get out wrestled, TD non stop and GnP then yes he will test GSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba_Pilks Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 He's got a pretty solid ground game, there's no denying that and GSP would have a hard time controlling him with his hip escapes and BJJ knowledge in general. I don't however think he could get the fight to the mat himself and GSP would absolutely own him in the standup. GSP strikes against wrestlers and wrestles against strikers and I think he would come in with the right gameplan to defeat Shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has an amazing ability to keep the fight standing so that's more then likely what will happen against a wrestler like Shields. We will see a good amount of stand up mixed in with his wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple_Jack Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Also, a guy who defeated Hendo especially after being rocked hard few times, in common sense can defeat GSP. Will he? Not likely but if he gets a hold of him and takes him down, GSP would have trouble getting up. Shields has a solid ground game, good ground control and he's strong. His striking, however, needs improvement but anyway i'm thinking his plan is not to strike with GSP but to get him down and keep him down (just about the same thing that GSP does 90% of the time).

Craig_M Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I want this fight to happen so GSP can show off his underrated striking. GSP could do what he usually does to his opponents, he can do it to any WW, but i think he will strike. The only thing that might make him take Sheilds down is to avoid Sheilds taking him down. GSP does not want Jake on top of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Eight Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 What about Shields v Koscheck...that could be an interesting one, cant see Kos getting past GSP...he couldnt before and GSP is stronger now...plus he wont be able to fake any illiegal blows from his back.

Liljarheadjer Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 WTF, i dont care what stats say GSP is not some outstanding striker, awesome he can throw a jab or two and take his opponent down right away and lay and pray for 5 rounds thats not ultimate fighting it's ultimate wrestling. GSP won't stand with anybody who has any kind of standup, Serra 2, Alves, Hardy... sure we'll see him work his standup against Fitch lmao. Shields is used to handling guys at middleweight recently and he's a big welterweight with incredible wrestling he'll hand GSP his **** if Kos doesn't. Oh and somebody tell me something, Silva moves up to prove he's the best, no big deal right? BJ moves up multiple times even when he doesnt have the frame so he just puts on fat when he knows it'll gas him but still does it to fight the best. But when asked about GSP moving up Dana says thats insane next we'll want him to put BJ against Lesnar, Im sorry i must be the only one catching the hypocritical double standard for this scared baby the UFC has been protecting!

You just proved that GSP is technical. When he faces opponents who are Strikers he breaks their will by taking them down. And please if these strikers were exceptional they would have known GSP is going to take them down so why not work on your TDD. Silva moved up cuz their was no competition @ 185, BJ moves up cuz he thinks he the ****in man and GSP sent that baby back to LW. And no GSP is not my fav WW, but you got to respect that man for being technical and sticking to the game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect what GSP is able to do in the UFC but i think he's being protected from possible losses and a threat to his legacy which would be what would happen if he fought somebody like Silva... the competition at 185 is as much of a threat if not more than what is at 170, when you can clear out a division by simply taking your opponent down and laying on em thats not saying much about it!

Dan_Eight Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I respect GSP but maybe its time he stops wearing the karate get up to the octagon and just starts coming out in a wrestling leotard and grows a massive moustache like hulk hogan.

That's like hes saying he will be booked until the end of 2011. What threat is @ 185? IF Silva cleaned out the division, there is no threat BUT, what I do hate is ****in rematch after rematch.

Erjabo Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 If Shields can take GSP down, then Georges will be in serious trouble. Shields' ground game is light-years beyond any WW's in the UFC. That being said, I doubt GSP would get submitted by Shields if he is in the guard, and GSP dominates it easily standing.

Chuck42 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Not a GSP fan at all, with that said, I dont see anyone that can out wrestle GSP! He is so dominate in that area. I would love to see him stand a bit more and maybe SHeilds is the guy to make that happen. However I see the match up if it ever happens to be another GSP controlling the pace, GnP, and just smother another guy like he has done with everyone since he got KO'd by Sera. I think Kosh will be a bigger threat with his wrestling and KO power. It will be interestign to see if GSP can have his chin tested by Kosh and get him to the ground. I dont see the same one punch power by Shields to test GSP in the stand-up game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
