Actually, Jake is bigger than Georges...and has much, much better BJJ than Georges. GSP has the edge in striking and takedowns and cardio, Jake has much better submissions and far better striking defense. That still gives Georges more ways to end the fight, and an enormous edge if it goes the distance.
I'd say Georges wins 6 or 7 out of 10, at this point.

Like someone else said (sort of) Shields would have a tough enough time getting through the likes of Alves, Thiago, maybe Fitch, etc. |
I think it's a dream match, for sure. I think Fitch poses issues for Jake, but I think he destroys an overrated and undersized Alves, and I'm not even sure why [Paulo] Thiago is even mentioned in your post. He wouldn't make it out of the first round with Jake.
