Jake Shields vs Yushin Okami 2? It wouldn't surprise coach Cesar Gracie Quote:
Gracie talks to Sherdog's Beatdown Radio about the future of his American Jiu-Jitsu (AJJ) fighter and why a rematch against fellow middleweight Yushin Okami would not surprise him.
Quote: |
"I think people have seen some really great fights of Jake’s where he’s tapped people out with one-arm guillotines and stuff from the mount and all these other things he’s done, armlocks and everything, and I think for Jake, he needs to really get back into that, to finishing. We’re not going to change a tiger at this point in the game. We have to [say], ‘Look, Jake. This is what got you here. It’s finishing people. You’re a world-class grappler. Let’s focus on finishing.’ There’s so many great 185-pounders. Jake has already fought Okami. Jake beat Okami. Hopefully they’re going to give him somebody else, is what I’m hoping for, but like I said, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did want that matchup."

It would be a good and close fight.
Shields is not a very exciting fighter imo, but he is getting overlooked in the MW picture. He beats just about everyone at MW besides a few guys.

I agree this fight would be both good and close. I want to see it. Okami has advanced as a fighter.

If Okami can avoid the takedown he is going to win by decision. Jake Shields has a horrible stand up game.

Okami takes this ones | Yes, they should have matched Condit up with Silva. that would have been a good standup fight.

Good, I'm glad Jake Shields is still in the UFC because it saves me of having to buy sleep aid the night he fights
