only thing I don't like is that he's at ATT which means he won't fight Thiago Alves, Hector Lombard, or Robbie Lawler all of which would be fireworks.

right now it's looking like they've all discussed it and they'll fight each other. They all want the belt and know that's what they'll need to do.

If gsp had trouble taking Hendricks down, I highly doubt shields can. Hendricks wins that fight handily.

wow, i disagree breh. i think you are under estimating shields. the only "bad" performance he's had was that ellenberger fight, but that was understandable since his pops had just died. people forget that before the hendricks fight, shields was the only guy that won rounds from GSP.

 

[Roman Brady]

@King u want to cite his loss against shields as being outmatched by some1 that cud take out hendricks...ok but what's the excuse for getting ko'd by a marquart that wasn't even on trt save that anointing oil for someone other than woodley brah, foreal

Shields could beat ANYONE on the right night. Hendricks would be a tough fight though for sure. The top 5 at 170 is crazy competitive. They all have something that could beat the other guys.

He looked mediocre in the Kampmann fight as well [and the Woodley fight from what i remember]. Hendricks is a better wrestler and striker, he takes that fight soundly.

How does Shields win that fight? What advantages does he hold over Hendricks (besides BJJ)?

Is this Bizzarro World's Jon Fitch and Josh Koscheck?
