TFW Jake Shields has wins over Robbie, Condit, Woodley and Maia

[antithetic]

Palhares still owned him though via cup choke.

Damn that's some slippery taint.

Jake is the world's baddest nerd. Love the guy

Jake got angry and frustrated by the constant eye gouging and terrible reffing. It changed the whole fight. Steve is the worst ref ever. He should have been fired after that fight.

There was literally another thread on this exact same subject recently

 

[BigGucciSosa]

TFW he got REKT by Ellenberger

 

[Mr. Hammer]

Worst UFC cut in recent memory.

 

[Kalmah]

Not all wins are equal.

 

[Agnawedbone]

I could watch Shields and Maia fight each other three times a year.

 

[StephanieB]

Not to mention a prime Hendo who is a top 10 goat in most people's eyes. Shields is somewhere in the top 20, possibly 15 in the greatest fighters of all time list. Deal with it people.

Sheilds and Fish were unmarketable as champs, and contender killers, so they had to get rid of them.

The NHL never got rid of the New Jersey Devils in the mid 90's.
Just sayin.

only after I paint my entire house and watch it dry

 

[chubbman]

that fight was my highlight of 2015

Shields is top 5 WW in the world still.

I think Lawler, Condit, Hendricks and Rory beats him. Outside of that he probably beats rest of top WW division.

 

[accolyte1022]

Palhares needs to be let back in the UFC. That's the real WW champ right there. I think he beats everyone but Rory. Rory will put on his best Alan Belcher impersonation. I no he's an asshole but he's a damn special fighter.

Yeah...

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Yeah...

He has a fan friendly type of bjj. Idk get a translator to explain to him that he could face legal recourse if he doesn't let go of a submission in a reasonable amount of time

 

[Davemeddlehed]

Tbh I miss shields, and I enjoyed his fight with palhares. Even though I was rooting for rousimar, I felt bad that shields was essentially cheated against after a great grappling war.

Shields could still beat most of welterweight top 10 IMO

Call it karma for all the finger in the eye action he had against GSP. Seemed kind of fitting in a way that someone would do it to him down the line.

The guy has fucked up too many times for it to be a coincidence.

He's either slow or willfully injuring opponents., take your pick.

 

[Drake]

Jake is pretty under appreciated. Sad, considering how good he's been his whole career. Wish he was still in the UFC.

I'm hoping he's just slow. He can't come back if he's holding on to purposely injure people.
