Have you ever spent 2 years hard conditioning to add 20lbs of muscle & then cut 40lbs in 9 weeks to fight a top 10 contender?

Look at MMA media 9 weeks before Kampmann fight,Shields was talking about fighting Anderson Silva or the # 1 contender at MW.

The UFC wanted him at WW because Georges has beat all the top guys AND all the top fighters at WW have already fought each other.

Adrenaline dump & anxiety had nothing to do with it, he beat fatigue, 20lbs in 9 weeks, 20lbs in36 hours

I like Jake but I don't see how he can beat GSP.

Hope GSP doesnt just take hium down and lie on him for 5rounds hope Jake wins

@ScottJG21 Bro, dont be a hater. Look at what Kos and Fitch both looked like when GsP was done with them. Whether he finished them or not, they are the best in the world, most other fighters would have been finished. Look at the sick submissions and positions he had Hardys body in and he just wouldnt tap, again anyone else would have. He finished Penn in their last fight. But to answer your question he finished Matt serra and Penn as the champion. Even though you say he hasnt??

[Jeffery Morris]

LOL I hate GsP but cant help but agree with you. Except anybody who knew anything wasnt saying that about Penn 2, Hardy or Alvez. Me personally I didnt think he would beat Fitch or Kos the second time. But no matter who is fighting you always think someone is gonna win and someone is gonna lose you know. But now Gsp is kinda becoming like Anderson Silva to me now, I plan on seeing him win until he loses lol.

Jake Shields was the Showtime headliner of the K 1- EliteXC fight held at the LA Coliseum, attendance 43,743. The biggest MMA crowd in North America until now.
