@LacosteBoy1 fuck ajj LOL... bjj will always beat ajj... who cares if shield won against 1 bjj black belt? he has to prove beating the best bjj fighters like garcia, gracie, jacare, arona, etc...
Bloody Elbow: " Shields did what Koscheck, Fitch and Alves all failed to do-he took two rounds from the champ. Credit Shields with fighting a great fight, he flustered GSP throughout the bout. Shields frustrated GSP, despite his awkward standup, he threw the champs timing off.
Shields did more than anyone in a long time-he made GSP look bad and that's saying a helluva lot.
The last time a champ walked out hurt after losing the final rounds to a challenger, Shogun got an immediate rematch."
SHIELDS SUBMITTED THE BEST GRAPPLER IN THE WORLD AT THAT WEIGHT. THE SAME GUY THAT SUBBED GSP IN ONE MINUTE W A FLYING ARMBAR..SHIELDS STOPS HIM. SHIELDS WOULDA TAPPED GSP...NO WONDER GSP RAN FROM HIM. HE WONT BE ABLE TO RUN FROM DIAZ THOUGH. NICK WILL SMASH GEORGES ST POSER
Also on the GSP and shields fight its illegal to let a fighter fight when he cant see out a eye and can barely see out another like GSP said in the fight i cant see out my eye the Doctor and Commission should of stopped it also the commission they where under is in Canada so maybe a lil bs on that lol
@ThatKidMTL23 Yes Shields would have won if the doctor stopped the fight, its kinda weird they didn't hear any of that talk when it was repeated so many times.
But it was a close fight and Shields made GSP look very human.
Too bad for Jake this is not going to be a grappling match...lol the king of Mma P4p will show Jake what it's like to stand with gsp too many weapons in Gsps game. It will be very entertaining match but just the start of Gsp running past the Gracie team! Nick your next..lol
@yukon222 yea jake did stand with GSP ........And GSP face told the story. First time I've seen GSP look as if he's been in a fight in a while. Good win for GSP. But overall boring fight. I had more fun watching my cats scratch each other
@ahjrome True, Shields won the 4th and 5th rounds and looked ready to go 5 more while St Pierre went to the hospital, with 'nasal infartion' and a closed eye.
@oakmantex Yes Shields won the 4th and 5th rounds with a combination of damage and aggression. It was a ruptured septum, a "nasal infartion" might be same thing, not sure.
Jake looked good, even better with the sound down. GSP was smart to want to stay away from Shields, but his counter punching often turned into high speed back peddling & once Jake caught on to the patterns he started doing Damage.
I have been a fan of both, but GSP's should have banged some even risking a take down.
hes still gonna get held down and hit wiht boring ass short undamagin elbows for 5 rounds..or jabbed apart...either way..he has almost no chance against grease St. Peire
St Pierre also reminded us he has been saying Jake Shields was the toughest opponent at WW since Shields was still in Strikeforce. He believes Shields would beat all the contenders he (GSP) has beat and that a couple of Shields opponents would be hard for him.
Got to like his honesty. I remember GSP saying Shields would beat him in a grappling match and MMA there was only one way to find out.
U guys r all fuken trolls the man had a 5 round war with Hendo if shields fight the way he fought Hendo I believe he can beat GSP he took a right hand from Hendo if it was GSP he would of been knockout remember how easy GSP tap to Hughes when they fought the first time the guy shields just beat in that video was a guy that GSP lost in 5 secs
@chingon711 except for the fact that Shields is an experienced college wrestler, who has bested other college wrestlers in training and competition e.g. Fitch, Sanchez, Askren.
@AndrewBranco16 BJ Penn, Matt Serra, John Fitch is a very good grappler as well. Jason Miller practically choked out Shields and showed that his BJJ was equal or better that Shields', yet look how easily GSP defeated him. Shields is one dimensional so it makes it fairly easy to prepare, GSP will have a good game plan and he will win in a dominating fashion.
@mrJschneider2 Jake shields won't be pulling guard when he gets Gsp to the ground it's over gsp has mediocre jiu jitsu as u saw his armbar in the Dan hardy fight
@angusburg3r Yeah, the whole Hardy fight made GSP look bad, Hardy is a purple belt like Shields was when he beat 7 time black belt World Champ Leo Santos in this fight.
@angusburg3r Errrr, "when he gets GSP to the ground?" You do know GSP is pretty much the best wrestler in MMA, the only was Shields is getting on the ground is if GSP puts him there with either a takedown or a strike. GSP's BJJ is good enough to protect himself, he has beaten BJJ, Fitch, Serra, Miller and many other great grapplers. The bottom line is; Shields is a one dimensional fighter with only BJJ and brings nothing that GSP has not seen and annihilated before.
@YesLloyd94 He is arguably the best. As far as I am aware he has the most successful takedown and takedown defence stats, there is not a single person that he cannot take down at will and he out wrestles the other top wrestlers such as Koscheck, Fitch, Hughes etc.I don't know what he pure wrestling is like, but inside the cage he is essentially the best.
@sinhaserpente Your talking about Shields right. Jake choked out Fitch at the Gracie Open, choked out 7 time BJJ World Champ Leo Santos in the semi's of the ADCC's, Leo tapped out GSP in one minute of the opening round of the same tourney.
Shields dominated 3 time heavyweight BJJ Champ and TUF Show finalist Vinnie Margalheas to win the Pro Sub Absolutes(all weights) giving up 40lbs and 2 belt classes. All on Youtube.
Shields is the best MMA grappler in the game, now that Nog has past his prime.
@tanglestrangle As someone who does MMA I can tell you that grappling in MMA is a lot different than pure grappling comps. GSP is the better wrestler, GSP will decide where the fight goes and GSP's BJJ and wrestling is good enough to avoid most submissions. Look at what he did to BJ Penn, on of the best fighter of all time, bjj world champion, it didn't count for anything when GSP took him down and dominated him.
Cont. Sure, pure bjj BJ Penn would have annihilated GSP, but in mma, bjj can be shut down with the right strategy. Shields barely survived his fight with Kampmann and you think he is going to defeat the most dominant UFC welterweight? Hell, Mayhem essentially choked out Shields yet could not submit GSP. You have been smoked some weird s*** my friend, I hope you don't have any money on Shields.
Shields is gonna get his ass beat against GSP, doesn't matter how good his Jiu Jitsu is, first of all he has to catch GSP makin a mistake, secondly, he isn't strong enough to pull this shit on him and thridly every time they stand them up GSP will rip him to pieces, this isn't grappling, it's MMA, he isn't gonna be pullin guard when they fight.
Santos tapped GSP in seconds. Lissent GSP is a good wrestler but Jake do it since he is 5 years old. He have more little secret tricks for any positions than GSP could dream to know. Also Jake is a Gracie jiu-jitsu black belt under Cesar Gracie. You have good black belts and you have medium black belts. Jake is the Sidney Crosby of Jiu-jitsu. He is high caliber world class jiu-jitsu champion. His nickname is the Specialist. Jake will put GSP down and submit him don't even worrie about it.
@rpinnacle1 lol , Sheilds fought full 5 rounds dude , if he was tko'ed and ref didnt stop then why didnt hendo kill him ??? i am a huge fan of hendo and happy he is that champ but he lost that fight fare and square .....
Uh, Leo Santos is a multiple time mundial champion? Since when? It was a good win by Shields but no need to bullshit and make his opponent out to be something he isn't to make it seem better. Santos is a great grappler, but not a multiple time world champion. wish people would stop bullshitting about these things. Before anyone says anything, world champion = black belt division.
@murphygp I think the article this info came from said blue belt once, purple belt once, brown belt once and black belt four times. I saw it a year or two ago but think it was also counting no gi along with BJJ.
I think anyone who wins a championship in their belt division and goes on to win in the next one and the next counts, IMO.
@mixmaster2669 Well as great as an achievement as winning the blue/purple/brown belt mundials is, it doesn't make him a world champion, the black belt adult category are the only world champions IMO. And Leo Santos has never won the mundials (This is the IBJJF tournament, you might be talking about something else) at black belt as far as I know. Look it up on wikipedia.
This was the semi's of the ADCC World Sub Wrestling Championships. Leo Santos 7 time BJJ Blackbelt World Champ lasted 90 seconds with Shields.
The day before Santos put GSP out of the Tourney in one minute of first match, bout on side bar. Both Shields and St Pierre were purple belts.
Same year Shields won the Absolute Challenge Sub Championships, beating 3 time Heavyweight BJJ Blackbelt World Champ (& TUF show finalist) Vinnie Margaelas, 18 to 0. Giving up 40 lbs and 2 belt classes.
@gies100 A close fight 48-47, St Pierre fought a smart but overly safe fight, he ran from Shields & refused to engage. He was afraid that if he traded with Shields he might get taken down, thats what his own trainer said in a post fight interview.
"Georges was a little off his striking game because he didn't want to give Shields a chance to take it to the ground"
Won a close fight, but you won't hear about Silva anymore after Shields out landed him on the Fight Metric & the Comp-Strike counts.
@agyfd The score was 48-47, St Pierre went to the hospital with a ruptured septum and bleeding behind the eye. Shields partied until 8am then got on a plane for home. Get a dictionary and learn to use the language.
@tanglestrangle Why was gsp's eye bleeding? because of a really hard punch? I don't think so señor, shields poked him in the eye early in the fight and gsp still managed to DOMINATE the rest of the fight. How many times was gsp taken down? and don't answer that shields didn't even try, because the truth is that gsp was so successful with his game plan that he took shields completely out of his element, nullifying his ONLY weapon. Get your facts right douche...
@agyfd St Pierre's doctor said the damage was bleeding behind the eye, trauma, there was no damage to the protective outer layer of the eye.
The Commission made it clear the damage to the eye was caused by the knuckle of Shields left jab near the end of the 3rd round. (the Commission in Canada is not protecting Shields)
If you want to see a poked eye look at photos of Shields bright red eye after the Kampmann fight, scratched outer eye.
@tanglestrangle shields will never win a fight in the ufc.. i know they say he beat kampman.. but i said he will eerwin afight. there. even his next fight. he will be thrashed. vs ellenburger. 100%
@mazzadude I know GSP will kill him in the octagon, I actually support GSP, look up "GSP highlights" But what I'm saying here is let Jake shields enjoy his win. GSP got beat by sanchez and sanchez lost to shields.
@ShawtysPro he will get his ass handed to him. GSP knows his strking is 100 times better than shields, so he'll use his better wrestling to keep it on the feet and knock him the fuck out
@mazzadude Every fighter who has fought Shields knows exactly what he will do, yet can't stop him.
Many have been great strikers with really good wrestling like Henderson, Lawler, Sakurai and Thompson. Others have been great strikers or grapplers, Daley, Okami, Condit and Mayhem.
Fighters poll on Inside MMA said you need to be really good at two arts with one being wrestling. Wrestling/Jiu Jitsu or wrestling/kickboxing. Shields proves the poll true.
I think leo santos was clearly exausted, Shields took him down, do the techniques fine. from that to say then shields his BETTER than santos... I really don`t think so.
@papelti Thing is Shields has fought Santos twice with the same results, so his jitz is better.
Shields was a puple belt, Santos 7 time Welterweight Blackbelt BJJ World Champion. Same year Shields beat Vinnie Margalhas 3 time Heaveyweight Blackbelt Champ to win the Pro Sub Absulute(all weights) Campionships.
Some of the reasons Rogan said there were only a couple grapplers at his level.
@papelti Shields fought Santos twice and the outcome was the same both times. Shields also beat 3 time heavyweight BJJ champ and absolute Champion Vinnie Margalhaes (also TUF Show finalist) he was only a purple belt then, he is black belt now.
The fact that he has been winning major tournaments against BJJ black belts since he was a Cesar Gracie blue belt tells the story of AJJ, Shields grappling style.
That simply because Jake Sheilds is on that level! Jake Sheilds is an all time great, he got the jump on Santos and that's just the way it goes. I tapped a jiu-jitsu great in training at a seminar one time and lord you should have seen these guys panic and tell me you know that was just training and he let you do that right!!!! I said sure but the fact is he gave me his back in transition and I tapped him fare and square. Jake is good enough to be on that level with Leo Santos, St Pierre is not!
It would be funny, but it is almost scary, I went to the Santos vs GSP in the side bar and there were several people in a row saying it wasn't really St Pierre.
I am a fan of Shields and Georges, but I'm not about to deny it if one of them loses.
we all know jake shield is the real deal ( true and legit mma fighter ) the only people doubting his skills are the ones that only watch ufc, because to them if you are not fighting in ufc you are not legit, rofl trolls
@isakdick well he has been destroying good strikers like semtex/robbie/okami/condit/henderson... light years behind but his ground skills are unmatched.
kampmann will be a good test for him in the ufc, he is also known for his decent ground skills and good stand up.
@isakdick Shields has very good striking technique, he does not have power striking, but his technique sets up his take downs and help him keep his opponents off balance.
@tanglestrangle he doesn't look very comfortable striking, look at his fight with paul daley or dan henderson. luckily he has takedowns and jitz. it'll be interesting to see what he can do in the ufc and if he can continue his win streak
Hendo caught Shields with his power in the first, only time he's been down, but Shields went on to be " winning the stand up war" a quote from about the fourth round.
Shamrock said he looked uncomfortable on his feet 3 fights in a row, during the Hendo fight the other commentators told him not to bring his personal animosity into the booth. He turned down fights with Shields in 2005 & 07, been trash talking since.
Daley IS the one guy who was better,but only landed 11strikes & no damage
Shields and GSP are both good enough to give each other a great MMA fight and anybody who pretends to "know" differently are full of poopy. And enjoy nutriding while being so.
So what, Marcelo Garcia lost to Ronaldo Jacare Souza, and Demian Maia beat Souza.....Maia then loses to Marcelo Garcia...so the logic you guys are using is crap. Anyways, St. Pierre was awarded his black belt in 2009, and this ADCC was way before that. But, I'd have my money on GSP....but by points. No way he could Sub Shields.
Shields dominated Hendo on the ground, wow what a clinic he put on, taking Dan down and passing his guard at will, getting full mount, an absolute clinic
@TheTerrorUforgot True it is important that Shields got caught by the best Hendo had to to offer and got up and kept fighting. It's what Champions do, when ya get put on your ass you keep fighting.
@tanglestrangle I agree. Kinda the way Anderson kept fighting when Sonnen put him on his ass, kept him there and continued to beat on him. What did Anderson do? he kept his cool and when the opportunity presented itself and hit him with a triangle. It is indeed what champions do.
GSP has improved massively since this tournament. shields is a better jiu jitsu guy yes but in an mma match GSP will kill him. shields has a glass jaw and hates being hit, he has pretty much no power in his hands and with GSP's wrestling he wont be able to take him down, leaving him to get mauled standing up.
Shields beat Santos twice, first time in a Supper Fight at Grapplers Quest.
Shields beat Vinnie Margales the 3 time Heavyweight BJJ Champion and TUF finalist in the Professional Submission Absolute Championships.(Shields gave up 40lbs) They met in the finals and Jake dominated.
@brystr2 for one it was a flying armbar not a choke and that was a long time ago when matt hughes could still beat gsp he was not even half the grappler he is now. he would absolutely dominate leo santos...
@brystr2 This was GSP first time in this turnny and this dude is like a 7 time BJJ world champ ? i really hope ur not trying to talk shit about gsp just bcuz he lost in a BJJ turnny
marcelo beat jake in a competitive match. marcelo lost his only mma fight. still top pfp grappler. i saw an interview shields said he loved sub grappling and he would keep working tourney,s, but he makes his living doing mma.
GSP just said Jake Shields would be a dream fight like, Fedor vs Lesner.
He also said he thought Shields would beat him in a grappling match, but he was confident he could beat Shields in MMA, but there was only one way to find out. Cool that he was so honest.
HEY. SHIELDS was added to SPORTS ILLUSTRATED'S P4P rankings. First of the big sports sites to include him. Shields said earlier that he was proud to represent BJJ and Submission fighting in MMA.
Thee rounds before this fight, while Shields was beating Diego Sanchez, Santos Subed GSP in 1 minute. Jake has beat Santos every time they fought. Jake has wins over Jon Fitch(choke out) and many of the top MMA guys that grapple. This is his advantage over GSP.
Some helpful links if u want 2 be smart, strong and a good guy like life long vegetarian (says on his website bio) Jake Shields and other great athletes.
Garcia beat Jake in sub wrestling, Shields has won a lot of top Pro Sub tourny's, but Marcelo did win a sub match, not BJJ . Read an interveiw, asked Shields if he wanted to fight Garcia in MMA. Jake said no, Garcia only had 1 fight, but he would like to fight him again in sub wrestling because Marcelo is the best in the world at that.
hes a top bjj guy in mma, in the world very different story. also, though personally being a big lawler fan, it is not very hard to sub lawler and doesn't prove him to be a top bjj fighter in mma or otherwise (though he is in mma like i said)
Hey karoolta, This is the ADDC World Submission Wrestling Championships. Leo Santos is the 7 time BJJ Champ, Jake was one of only two Americans to bring home a trophy. In straight BJJ Jake has never been beaten, includes Pan Am's etc.
@jaycosta7 Marcelo Garcia tapped Jake in PSL. not to take anything from Shields he is a baller at BJJ and Wrestling. he owned Leo Santos in this match.
@crpony07 Yeah Marcelo is a great grappler, the only one to tap Shields in grappling or MMA. I saw an interview where they asked Jake if he wanted to fight Marcello in MMA. Shields said "no, he only has one fight, but I would really like another chance to fight him NO GI because he is the best in the world."

Uh, Leo Santos is a multiple time mundial champion? Since when? It was a good win by Shields but no need to bullshit and make his opponent out to be something he isn't to make it seem better. Santos is a great grappler, but not a multiple time world champion. wish people would stop bullshitting about these things. Before anyone says anything, world champion = black belt division.
murphygp 1 year ago
@murphygp I think the article this info came from said blue belt once, purple belt once, brown belt once and black belt four times. I saw it a year or two ago but think it was also counting no gi along with BJJ.
I think anyone who wins a championship in their belt division and goes on to win in the next one and the next counts, IMO.
mixmaster2669 1 year ago 14
@mixmaster2669 Well as great as an achievement as winning the blue/purple/brown belt mundials is, it doesn't make him a world champion, the black belt adult category are the only world champions IMO. And Leo Santos has never won the mundials (This is the IBJJF tournament, you might be talking about something else) at black belt as far as I know. Look it up on wikipedia.

This was the semi's of the ADCC World Sub Wrestling Championships. Leo Santos 7 time BJJ Blackbelt World Champ lasted 90 seconds with Shields.
The day before Santos put GSP out of the Tourney in one minute of first match, bout on side bar. Both Shields and St Pierre were purple belts.
Same year Shields won the Absolute Challenge Sub Championships, beating 3 time Heavyweight BJJ Blackbelt World Champ (& TUF show finalist) Vinnie Margaelas, 18 to 0. Giving up 40 lbs and 2 belt classes.

Jake Shields was the big winner in Strikeforce last night, even though he has moved on to the UFC.
Three of Shields last five opponents won by first round KO, Henderson KO'd Babalu, Lawler stopped Matt Lindland and Daley knocked out Scott Smith.
Shields tapped out Lawler and Daley and dominated Henderson.

@tanglestrangle why did he stand with st. pierre?
gies100 8 months ago
@gies100 A close fight 48-47, St Pierre fought a smart but overly safe fight, he ran from Shields & refused to engage. He was afraid that if he traded with Shields he might get taken down, thats what his own trainer said in a post fight interview.
"Georges was a little off his striking game because he didn't want to give Shields a chance to take it to the ground"
Won a close fight, but you won't hear about Silva anymore after Shields out landed him on the Fight Metric & the Comp-Strike counts.

@agyfd The score was 48-47, St Pierre went to the hospital with a ruptured septum and bleeding behind the eye. Shields partied until 8am then got on a plane for home. Get a dictionary and learn to use the language.
tanglestrangle 6 months ago 5
@tanglestrangle Why was gsp's eye bleeding? because of a really hard punch? I don't think so señor, shields poked him in the eye early in the fight and gsp still managed to DOMINATE the rest of the fight. How many times was gsp taken down? and don't answer that shields didn't even try, because the truth is that gsp was so successful with his game plan that he took shields completely out of his element, nullifying his ONLY weapon. Get your facts right douche...
agyfd 6 months ago
@agyfd St Pierre's doctor said the damage was bleeding behind the eye, trauma, there was no damage to the protective outer layer of the eye.
The Commission made it clear the damage to the eye was caused by the knuckle of Shields left jab near the end of the 3rd round. (the Commission in Canada is not protecting Shields)
If you want to see a poked eye look at photos of Shields bright red eye after the Kampmann fight, scratched outer eye.

@mazzadude Every fighter who has fought Shields knows exactly what he will do, yet can't stop him.
Many have been great strikers with really good wrestling like Henderson, Lawler, Sakurai and Thompson. Others have been great strikers or grapplers, Daley, Okami, Condit and Mayhem.
Fighters poll on Inside MMA said you need to be really good at two arts with one being wrestling. Wrestling/Jiu Jitsu or wrestling/kickboxing. Shields proves the poll true.

papelti 1 year ago
@papelti Thing is Shields has fought Santos twice with the same results, so his jitz is better.
Shields was a puple belt, Santos 7 time Welterweight Blackbelt BJJ World Champion. Same year Shields beat Vinnie Margalhas 3 time Heaveyweight Blackbelt Champ to win the Pro Sub Absulute(all weights) Campionships.
Some of the reasons Rogan said there were only a couple grapplers at his level.
jaycosta7 1 year ago 11
@papelti Shields fought Santos twice and the outcome was the same both times. Shields also beat 3 time heavyweight BJJ champ and absolute Champion Vinnie Margalhaes (also TUF Show finalist) he was only a purple belt then, he is black belt now.
The fact that he has been winning major tournaments against BJJ black belts since he was a Cesar Gracie blue belt tells the story of AJJ, Shields grappling style.

That simply because Jake Sheilds is on that level! Jake Sheilds is an all time great, he got the jump on Santos and that's just the way it goes. I tapped a jiu-jitsu great in training at a seminar one time and lord you should have seen these guys panic and tell me you know that was just training and he let you do that right!!!! I said sure but the fact is he gave me his back in transition and I tapped him fare and square. Jake is good enough to be on that level with Leo Santos, St Pierre is not!

Yes Jake shields is more talented in the BJJ aspect, put him in a octagon, GSP will defeat him, as in kick his ass.

Hendo caught Shields with his power in the first, only time he's been down, but Shields went on to be " winning the stand up war" a quote from about the fourth round.
Shamrock said he looked uncomfortable on his feet 3 fights in a row, during the Hendo fight the other commentators told him not to bring his personal animosity into the booth. He turned down fights with Shields in 2005 & 07, been trash talking since.
Daley IS the one guy who was better,but only landed 11strikes & no damage

Jake Shields was knocked down for the first time in his career against Henderson. He got up and dominated the fight.
Shields has fought a lot of top tier strikers many more powerful then GSP, Robbie Lawler, Mach Sakurai, Paul Daley etc and he has beat them all.
He is hard to hit. Hard to catch flush. All glancing blows and partly blocked punches.
Shields is not a power puncher but his stand up is better than a lot of people think.

@tanglestrangle I agree. Kinda the way Anderson kept fighting when Sonnen put him on his ass, kept him there and continued to beat on him. What did Anderson do? he kept his cool and when the opportunity presented itself and hit him with a triangle. It is indeed what champions do.

GSP has improved massively since this tournament. shields is a better jiu jitsu guy yes but in an mma match GSP will kill him. shields has a glass jaw and hates being hit, he has pretty much no power in his hands and with GSP's wrestling he wont be able to take him down, leaving him to get mauled standing up.
