chris weidman or jake shields

[jasonjonesmma]

I think this would be a pretty even matchup. Who do you think would get the win?

 

[Blindead]

Weidman by not being one dimensional. Plus Shields was never really a MW, just a big WW who moved up to MW for good fights. Weidman probably has a good 10 pounds on him.

 

[Papasmurf45619]

K1 shields kills him

 

[Petoria]

Weidman would easily stop his takedowns and outstrike him. Weidman by UD.

 

[J Dilla]

I think it would look like the Munoz fight only worse. Jake has nothing for Weidman.

 

[technical KO]

I would rather see an Okami rematch. I think my boy Yushin would take it easily.

Okami vs Weidman would be a tough call.

Weidman vs Shields would be pretty one sized.

 

[iloveufc123]

Weidman would stomp on Shields.

 

[rorydaboss]

Weidman is a stronger Shields with better wrestling. His bjj is not as good as Shields but I don't think it is that far off. Weidman takes this fight on the feet or from top position.

 

[wilKO]

Would be complete domination by Weidman. Not even close at all.

 

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

I would love Shields vs Jacare.

 

[SwagJuice]

lol Shields , really ???

 

[atxmmafan]

shields via eye poke

 

[Threetrees]

Weidman by striking
On the ground it's a close fight but it'd never get there

 

[Guld**]

Weidman would likely win and probably make it look easy.

With that being said....I hope I NEVER have to see Shields fight again.

 

[Karelinator]

I like Shields, but Weidman would stomp him. Bad match-up.

Weidman is pretty much Shields with actual raw power and dynamic movements. Probably bit less polished technically, but sheer physical difference is too big.

 

[VAfan]

shields is getting older and unless he puts together some sort of standup, IMO he won't be competitive again at any weight class.

 

[TheComebackKid]

It could be domination by Weidman or a Shields grapple fest. I could see either one playing out.

 

[HaulParris]

I would love Shields vs Jacare.

Intriguing match-up. Jacare's stand-up has been steadily improving, and he does have power in his hands, so I believe he would have an advantage on the feet. On the ground it's a toss-up, but if it does go the distance, I think Jake has better endurance.

 

[Mike01010101a]

Weidman is a real deal. His wresting and speed is dangerous. IMHO he is the next big thing in MW

While Mayhem almost getting a sub can be considered some kind of 'fluke', I guess, I still would say that Jacare ground game has to be considered better.
