Let's not forget the man who beat Maia on the mat and beat the WW champ too

Didn't Demian Maia have gas tank problems vs. Shields? Modern Maia would whoop him easy.

Super boring also popped for roids. Pretty forgettable despite his skillset.

Wasn't roids was it? Pretty sure it was a diuretic.

...but yeah, terrible stand up (plod, 1 2, plod) and to be honest, despite his proficiency, even his ground game wasn't that exciting.
 
Why do pussies call themselves mma fans if they don't like grappling, .

Maia had gas problems in his most recent fight with Brown and didn't look too fresh against Nelson either. I don't think his stamina has improved all that much.
 
He "beat" Woodley by going 0 for 20 on TDs and throwing a bunch of putter pat leg kicks.
 
I see rematches in Jake Shields future.

This is what most people fail to realize when hyping up Shields's wins from seven fucking years ago.

And Woodley did nothing the entire fight

They both looked like shit. Citing that win without noting the fact that it was an awful joke of a fight is... curious.

He SAYS it was dieuretics but didnt let the commission release the actual results. So it must have been something worse. Giblert did the same damn thing. Sketch ass camp.
 
Don't think anyone will watch to watch Shields vs Woodley or Maia.. they were hardly "fights". lots of stalling and staring
 
St-Pierre vs. Shields was a great battle of GOATS.
25 minutes of awesome.

There are guys like that in prizefighting. Guys like Darnell Boone, Sokodjou, and the fine specimen below were made to be spoilers. Cats with one great attribute or skill, but shitty records. Those guys exist to fuck up prospects' records.

Yeah... ummm... so you realize that Jake isn't one of those guys, right?

Dude has one of the greatest streaks of all time. Fifteen in a row including Okami and Condit on the same night, Daley, Robbie, Hendo...

Then he takes the first rounds from GSP in eternity.

And then, after the loss to GSP and another loss, beats Maia and Woodley.

One of the greatest WW fighters of all time.

Silly to compare him to Dennis Hallman.

Shields' fight with Condit was one of the reasons why I was shocked with last night's outcome... Condit not only survived 15 minutes of Shields on top of him, but actually managed to be pretty effective off his back at the same time. Considering Condit was a pretty young kid at the time, it was impressive.
 
Shields is the man. Nick Diaz always used to put Jake over, even before he signed with the UFC.

Jake's fight with Maia lit a fire under Demian's ass for sure. [A "flaming" fire;)] Maia has been on a tear ever since that fight and his decision loss to Rory.

Would like to see a rematch between Shields and Maia someday. Even if it was under EBI, grappling-only rules. Against Palhares, too, although Jake might just want to Felony Fight that mean little tree stump in a parking lot.
