Who would win?

[Sonny Qc]

Jake Shield Vs Nick Diaz
I know this never going to happen, But who would impose his will?
Could Jake wrestle/grapple f*ck Nick
Or
Nick would be able to keep it standing and pick appart Jake ?

I think Nick is a better fighter, but man I find this to be a bad match-up for Nick...
Tought?

Maybe but probably not

Nick should pick that apart standing all day long. Jake is fantastic on the ground, but I can't see him holding Nick down and or submitting him.

5 round I favor Nick even moreso than a 3 rounder.

Jake was able to stay on the ground 5 round vs maia ...
tough one...

Nick is no mug on the ground, Jake is a bit of a mug on the feet, so Nick.

True, and I know that Diaz has uber confidence in his ground game as well. I believe that Maia has far less of an advantage over Jake standing than does Nick, and Nick knows that.

IMO Maia wasn't trying to get back up like Nick would be trying. If Jake is able to maintain control on the ground I reckon a UD for him.

Nick easy.

I feel like this would be a terrible match-up for Shields, actually.

 

[Fight To Win]

Shields would have nothing to offer Nick on the feet but he could probably take Nick down. That's where it would get interesting. He's one of the GOAT LNPers.

You guys are acting like Nick has effective tools to get to his feet against elite grapplers.
He doesn't, but he's TDD is pretty underrated.
