Daley has about 17 seconds to KO Shields. Once this hits the mat, its over.

Shields by RNC 1:49 of the 1st.

if Jake cant take him down, he is dead meat. just as dead as Paul would be on his back.

and Semtex is an athletic-ass motherfucker with a pretty good sprawl

Shields is going to use him as a grappling dummy.

First round RNC

From what i have seen Paul's tdd isn't something to talk about. It is not horrible or anything, but its nothing special.

Jake is a big strong WW, has good wrestling an will take him down. Also i think Jake could beat him without taking it to the ground

Jake is by far the best WW outside the UFC and he is still top WW in the world. He doesn't lose outside the UFC imo.

Daley is a tough mofo imo

Im actually excited about this fight. This is a great fight for an Elite xc card.

Should be exciting but I see Jake coming out as the victor

[AJL416AZ]

now Shields should take this handily

but to say that he wouldn't get fucked up standing by Semtex is untrue
that guy has fucking dynamite in his hands and he knows it. he attacks aggressively from bell to bell, and has good boxing and good Thai. he is a danger to anyone that doesnt have ridiculous granite block-type of chin.
and Shields sucks standing up.

Shield's standup is the weaker part of his game. But that's like saying the BJJ is Wand's weakest area. He's still good enough to fuck you up with it.

What Shield's lacks in power, he makes up for in technical ability. He lands a high percentage, but most importantly, his striking defense is phenomenal.

Over this past stretch of fights, and even before that, he has taken very few punches. He keeps his distance, and has really good head movement. With his game, all he has to do is force the other guy into making a mistake and get himslef overextended on a strike, the next thing anyone knows. Shields has taken them down, passed their gaurd, transitioned to the back, and is choking him out.

He's like Demian Maia. He neutralizes strikes and wrestling/GnP with his BJJ skill. I don't think there is a chance Shields loses this fight.

Shields via knock out RND 1 just to be different . If I could get any Shields matchup I'd like to see Shields vs Condit. that would be a good test and fight for both of them.

Man, I was really hoping for Aoki

Well you can see it! Shields already beat Condit

btw I agree.. Daley would mess Shields up standing, I dont think Shields standup sucks but its so far away from Daleys standup game.. but that isnt much of an insult just about everyone in the division is far away from Daleys standup game.. Shields takes it via arm triangle.
