lets see

GSP takes down D1 wreslters
Shields is a PURE nogi jiu jitsu black belt

9 more days!!!!

GSP - "i dont want to be a paper champion i want to fight the best"

Gsp is all around better
Shields has a black belt in gi jiu jitsu
Jake shields has a black belt in no gi jiu jitsu
So on the ground i think its a tie
I honestly think gsp will just box him, and then he will take him down the last 2 rounds
I wanna see gsps entrance though!!!!!

Lol

I predict the fight will be GSP whooping his a. Shields lost to Kampman - despite what the judges said - and he will lose to GSP.

from my understanding, jake has never trained in the gi. i believe hes the only gracie black belt, never to have trained in the gi.

Hmm
Well gsp got his brown belt with a gi from a gracie so thats why i say its a tie

i've never been more neutral for a fight, i'm a big fan of GSP & Jake

I am also neutral, but because I hate both equally.

how?!

Jake was a wrestler before he was a jiujitsu practitioner. Granted it may cover only his earliest years, but his sick ground game and top control is based on wrestling.
