Who we lose?

 

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.

 

I was away for a bit did I miss out on any predictions?

 

No sir... You are current...

 

Godfather picking Shields!!!

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

: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.

 

As much as I would love Shields to win, I can't pick against GSP. I will be happy to lose points for this one if I am wrong. WAR SHIELDS!!!

• Georges St-Pierre UD
• José Aldo TKO 3
• Jason Brilz KO 2
• Randy Couture UD
• Ben Henderson Sub 2

• Nate Diaz Sub 1
• Jake Ellenberger UD<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-UFC129_0-7></SUP>

 

GSP UD
Aldo TKO 3
Machida TKO2
Brilz UD
Henderson UD
MacDonald UD
Ellens Burger TKO 2

 

Just curious, why would anyone root for that goofy looking dork Shields over Georgie boy?

 

Think Shields needs a special mouthpiece?

 

Shields UD
Couture UD
Aldo TKO1
Henderson TKO2

 

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.

 

The Henderson fight was boring, I don't know why people are cheering it.
