Is anyone giving Sheilds a chance against GSP?

Anyone at all?

No. GSP will brutalize him with superior technical striking and stuff all his take downs. It would probably be more one sided than this fight was.

Not with the way GSP was striking and comfortably doing so last night. He might be wary to go to the ground with Shields because Shields has that awesome sweep game. I think he'll just stand and box Shields' ears off for five rounds.

I give him a chance based on the fact that I gave him no chance vs Hendo and won that fight convincingly.

I can not completely rule out that he grapples his way to a decision.

But I am pretty confident that GSP KO's him.

i honestly think Nick Diaz's skill set would be the hardest for GSP to deal with. His boxing mixed with his jiu jitsu could make it an interesting match. Since that fight won't happen, i don't really see anyone giving GSP much of a challenge.

Seeing as I thought Kos had a chance to even compete, I will have to say no, barring devine intervention, but even then there is little chance. We're talking about the Saint.

Top Strikers - he beats them on the ground
Top grapplers - he beats them on the feet.
A guy great at both- He beats them however he likes.

GSP is still the #1 P4P fighter in the world in my eyes.

nope. GSP will smash Sheilds and i am excited for Sheilds to get beat up ive never liked the guy.

Sean Sherk, Diego Sanchez. That is all.

Nick would beat these guys asses now. Not that GSP would mangle his corpse though.

What he would do to them now is less the point than what they have in common with GSP. Great pace, excellent takedowns, Almost impossible to submit especially from the bottom. GSP is the kind of fighter that has given Nick problems all along.

GSP will beat Shields, but it will be on the ground alot more than the Kos fight was.

Oggy are you nuts??? GSP would kill Nick Diaz. It wouldn't even be a good fight imo. Nick would get pounded out in the first.

i think GSP destroys Shields, he'll do to him what he did to Kosh only this time Shields is going out
