Hey anyone interested in the up comming UFC. I am looking forward to Couture and Machida, and of course the GSP and Sheilds fight. I personally have never seen Sheilds fight yet so its a hard call for me.

Shields is very good but I'd go with GSp, he's better in general except submissions from top, arguably.
Couture-Machida, I'd go with Machida this time.
Shields is very good, but GSP is all time great. Gotta go with GSP.
I'm going with GSP but this will be a very good fight.
It will be an easy fight for gsp if it stays standing. If it goes to the floor who knows what can happen there. Shilds is a very good grappler but is stand up sucks ass.
GSP...but I'm biased.........
A gentleman...classy......well respected......makes us Canadians proud!
Yea, I'm going with GSP as well. Great fighter.
GSP all the way. Only prob is his fights are lack luster. They rarely carry any kind of excitement factor.
Can't wait to see how couture does against machida...as much as I love Randy, can't see him doing to well..his age has to be catching up w him.
Although I'm going for GSP, Jake Shields is +325 right now, so a $10 bet can net you a pretty good return.
(yes I live in Vegas)
I wonder how their training compares, Sheilds is in a great fight camp however, GSP has some cracy workouts & training camps not to mention he is a beast!
shields is a better bjj practitioner/gsp is better at every other aspect of mma. its going to be a good one. dont count shields out,hes tough.
Because no fighters were idiots enough to get in close enough. They knew...once he had them down....they were done!Quote:

He was forced to drop a lot of muscle for this fight so that will no doubt hinder his ability to handle an opponent like GSP on the ground.
As for the Machida vs couture fight, hard call... if Machida goes back to his elusive ways, the moment Randy steps in for the clinch for some dirty boxing, Machida will kncok him down much like what liddell did. Randy is far more effective when he fights as heavyweight in the 220-225 range where the added weight allows him to take those shots while trying to get close enough to clinch
If Shields learned how to cut is weight down the right way he is going to be a major treat for GSP, but if he shows up looking as weak as he did in the Kampman fight its going to be a walk in the parc for GSP.
Shields is very dangerous with is subs.
Hope Lyoto loses again i cannot stand that shotokan fighting crap anymore.
The prime time shows on spike are interesting, great to see an inside view of how the worlds top mma fighters train. its inspiring to say the least, I am 30 and reinveting myself as a person and a martial artist. I am going to be in the best shape of my life and keep it that way. I joined a gracie bjj school which implements a lot of this type of training and I can tell you its hard to life weights after doing an hour of wrestling and what not. These guys are training 8 hours a day and something GSP said is formula 1 cars dont use bad fuel when they race, and I can't eat what everyone else eats if I am going to be at the top. Smart guy and world class athlete.
GSP!!!!! He gets better every time he competes. And I am undecided with Couture and Machida.
Did anyone see what GSP is doing now in his training, he is now doing gymnastics. He looks for any weakness and tries to fix it.
My sport doctor treated GSP for is groin injury what you are saying is right on the money, they have special trainers, and also have nutritionist. I am glad that my sport doctor clinic is getting all theses services this year at the clinic, blood testing and even food science. There will be 4 nutritioniste at the clinic, one of them does nutritional program for bodybuilder, 2 women one of them is an ironman tri athlete and the other one is a marathon runner, and the fourth one is my sport doctor daughter who as a degree in sport nutrition. In June i will get a consultation. I am older at 39Quote:

GSP all the way babbyyy!
I think Shields has a shot...that is unless the "classy...well respected" GSP decides to greese himself up like he did the last time he was up against an elite bjj practitioner
he play classical and that is why he have more chances than the Pierre.
