Prime vs Prime: Franklin vs Shields

[Drake]

VS

How would it go down?

 

[ilfirin]

I'd say Franklin would have taken that one due to size and power. Shields only chance would be to wrestle fuck him.

 

[BayStyles]

Rich imo

 

[trendkill101]

Franklin, I can only assume he'd have the size advantage since he's a MW/LHW and Jake is a WW/MW and that wouldn't help Jake hold him down... Rich is much better on the feet and if Jake couldn't get it down I don't think it would last long.

 

[Squirrel master]

I still think Franklin wins, its not like franklin has looked shitty in his last fights. Yea he got caught by cung but I think everyone would agree franklin could beat cung 8 out of 10 times.

 

[Calivornia]

I think that's interesting. I also think Rich could keep the fight standing and win a decision. He's athletic enough to avoid the takedown, which Jake is good, but not great at.

 

[the ambush]

how I forecast the match:
round 1-Shields 10-9 wrestlefucks and octagon control
round 2-Franklin 10-9 stronger stand-up
round 3-Franklin 10-9 or possibly 10-8 stronger stand-up, tooling

Franklin FTW! I might even be underestimating Ace here, if he took round one it wouldn't surprise me. Shields would be jumping into deep water here imho, Franklin won't gas badly like Hendo.

 

[CarloSpcyWeiner]

Ace is extremely undervalued by most people on here. In his prime, he was a beast. I say he'd take it by decision or late TKO.

jake by split dec.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Why is this a thing?

 

[BayStyles]

jake by split dec.

Is your avatar Werdum and Maia?

I like to guess all the ones I see lol. I wish I knew how to make one myself though

 

[MikeyCanFly]

k-1 shields

 

[Xyiencemma]

Maybe you should do a poll next asking who wins Prime Fedor or Prime Tito

 

[Ecker707]

wasteland by majority decision

 

[alpharowe3]

I see Jake grapplefucking him.

 

[BearVictim]

Whatever happened to rich? I think he'd get a late round tko or lose a split decision

 

[beefcake180]

Ace would stick and move all day on the most boring fighter to ever exist.

 

[KO By Knee]

Ace is too strong and well rounded, he makes shield gas for a late fight ko/tko

 

[Sosua]

I'm going to go with the MW champ who KO'd dudes at 205 over the WW with the worst striking in the UFC.

 

[scrap style**]

Franklin wins 100/100
