Melendez: Shields will be on top of Nick Diaz everyday to prep for GSP's top game

[Skydome]

Am I the only one who thinks GSP will spend most of the fight standing?

If Nick comes in expecting GSP's GnP to be like Shields' he's in for a bucket of cold water.

Does it matter with mid-low tier guy like Diaz?
He'll get his ass whooped standing or on his back...
When was the last time Diaz beat a quality opponent...

 

[betyourlife82]

I hope they're bringing in guys bigger than Shields as well, GSP is a beast

 

[Patman]

Shields might have a better top control game, but GSP has way better strikes. His elbows are pretty nasty.

 

[Patman]

they should bring in Brock lesnar instead

This would actually be a good idea.

 

[STRONGERTHANALL]

It will make no difference. Georges will still be on top of Nick for twenty-two minutes.

I predict that it will be closer to 23 minutes. I think this is GSP easiest fight to date.

0_0 What if GSP pulls guard?

 

[MrKilroyT]

Nick has always been a bottom, but he's a power bottom.

Well done

 

[M Theory]

No bromo?

Gil looked stoned right there.

 

[PabloZed]

Funny that GSP is the one with the drug dealer friend.

Gil looked stoned right there.

You couldn't even identify a stoned person if he was smoking weed right in front of you...

Maybe Shields can teach Diaz the eye poke.

Hopefully Big John is the ref .
He doens't seem to fuck around with the eye poking lately .

If I can put my troll hat on for a minute, let's see how they both did against Leo Santos.

Posting in this thread because the first reply got GRILLED. GSP/Shields was an epic standup battle between the most accurate and technical striker in the 170 pound division, and gsp.

 

[SPL1FF]

perhaps from a submission point, shields is one of the top in the division. however from top control point of view there is no one who can compare to GSP.

i hope GSP wins !!!! please please please.

 

[SinisterSpider]

I could see diaz catching GSP in a sub, and i can see diaz teeing off on GSP standing up

however, the fight IMO will still be 50-45 GSP

then he can duck silva some more
