    Wow. I didn't know Randy vs Machida was on this card, I thought it was next month or June. I'll be watching for sure.

    Yeah, that's the one that really pushes this one over the top for me. Obviously GSP-Shields and Aldo-Hominick are title fights and great match ups but I can't wait to see if the old man can pull off one more shocker.

    Godfather picking Shields!!!

    I honestly can't believe Jake is a 4-1 dog at this point. Fans seriously underestimate him.

    I might change it when i see the weigh in, but as of right now, im confident Jake will beat him.

    I was just reading that Jake brought in Phil Davis and Chael Sonnen to work wrestling. Add those guys to rolling around with Nick, Nate and Melendez, and you're wrestling is going to be stronger.

    Something tells me this bout will bore casual fans but be an absolute treat for those that appreciate high level grappling.

    Once the fight goes to the ground, Shields has a great chance.

    well if it goes to the ground, which i anticipate it might bore people. But if GSP executes his plan, which i believe will be keeping the fight standing, it could be entertaining. I dont see GSP dominating shields on the ground or even submitting him. If that happens, GSP will be #1 in my eyes.

    :goingmad:

    GSP???? I'm keeping track dude. Anyone picking GSP automatically loses their US citizenship and will need to move to Canada at once.

    Just saying.

    If GSP finishes Shields quickly it will be the most shocking thing I've seen in MMA.

    Great card so far. Two real nice subs and a spinning back fist KO. And now a short standing elbow KO... Amazing. All the fights are ending quickly.
