lol Mayhem is a funny dude, just relaxing and shrugging his shoulders as the guy is punching his ribs.

good fight between Shields & Mayhem, Shields saved by the bell when Mayhem had him in rear naked choke for a full 9 seconds.

side note, Shields is slowing this fight down with some leg tie up bullshit

Screw Jake Shields, he's the TUF version of Roy Nelson; way to get fans on a huge TV card...

Good fight. I really thought Mayhem had Shields finished with that RNC.

Using good wrestling and jits is a lot different than patting someone on the head with their arms trapped.

All right. It's time for another "Nate Hates Wrestlers" post.

Jake Shields is garbage. I'm not really a Mayhem fan, but in my opinion, he showed a far better range of skills in that fight. I can't stand fighters who use the "take him down & hold him down" strategy. If you're good enough to get a dominant position, do something with it. Honestly, I was more impressed by Miller's 10 thousand and one escapes than Shields just dragging him down and laying on top of him over and over again. Mayhem's BJJ was better. Shields won the match thanks to lay & pray.

Yes, say whatever you want. Shields "manhandled" Miller. He "dominated" him. But he sure as hell didn't win a fight. If you've got a guy's back 8-10 times, have him flattened out on his stomach twice, have him turtled a couple times, and STILL can't finish him, you are garbage. In summation, Jake Shields is garbage.

I agree

Damnit at all these commercials!

In response to BoSoxFan900; I'll ask you to reference n8's post as it sums up my feelings.

Jake Shields is garbage? Seriously man? His last two fights, he finished Robbie Lawler and Paul Daley. He's 23-4-1 in his career. Do you think GSP is garbage because sometimes he goes to decision by showcasing his superior wrestling, like he did against Alves? If you don't like that fighting style, that's fine, but its a bit far fetched to call Shields "garbage."

Did you really just try to compare Shields to GSP??? As I recall GSP knows how to use his hands, watching tonight's fight I couldn't tell if Shields even practices striking.

No, I'm not comparing Shields to GSP. He's not even in the same ballpark as GSP. I'm just saying that they're both wrestlers who use their wrestling to hold their opponents on the ground, which doesn't always lead to a finish.

But GSP actually does something when he's on the ground. I assume you're referencing his fight with Alves. Yeah, he mainly won because of his takedowns in that fight, but they were explosive takedowns and he actually tried to end that fight. Shields had a couple half-hearted RNC attempts, but how do you not just wail on a guy when you've got him flattened out on his stomach?

I'm calling it garbage because that's my opinion. I'm not saying the decision should have gone to Mayhem. That would have been crazy. But a "fight" like that might as well be called a no contest. It's like Shields didn't want it to end. He was having too much fun humping Mayhem's leg like a cocker spaniel.

I hope the guy who *may* have changed my car battery wins.

I never witnessed a Fedor fight, so lets see how "great" he is or so I hear

lol funny, watching Rogers crawling on his back as Fedor stalked him at the end of round 1

Treat first round. Fedor got all messed up. Second round should be interesting.


Fedor has a broken nose.. damn

Fedor knocked him da out, crucial hook

why did they stop it though, he was guarding and was not render defenseless or nothing

Goddamn. That hook was out of control.

He was done by the second or third punch and you could tell he didn't know wtf happened when he sat up.

Darn, I was hoping for an upset by Rogers... I'm surprised Big John of all people didn't give Brett a second to compose himself as he ROCKED Fedor in the 1st (in similar fashion) and let it continue.

Damn, Fedor's interpreter sucks ass, lol.

But his skills, on the other hand, are still freaking out of this world! The power behind his punches is just ridiculous. And his timing is impeccable. He knocked out Rogers essentially the way he KO'd Arlovski. He just watched, waited, and struck. One punch is enough for him to knock out anybody. As for Rogers "defending", he rolled over and grabbed his head, haha. He was done. Good showing from him though, but there's nothing you can do when somebody is faster than you, but still punches just as hard. I'm guessing Overeem has to come out of hiding before Fedor fights again.
