Akiyama is transforming into Phil Baroni.

Watching Jake Shields' standup is like Chinese water torture

 

[Donthizz#]

Shields fight funny..

 

[nick nacc]

"he's gotta go kamikaze on him"

 

[Balehead]

Watching Jake Shields' standup is like Chinese water torture

You gotta give a man props for making it into the UFC without being able to actually make a fist.

 

[nick nacc]

Akiyama with a mouth guard is like Mario balotelli with a practice jersey

 

[Diprosalic]

shields standing up looks like someone who never fought before.

 

[Cipherr]

WTF that takedown was so fast Im not even sure what happened.

 

[Luixfern]

Sick takedown. Too bad they both have terrible standup.

 

[polyh3dron]

I give Jake that round.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Shield won that first round without a takedown. Not that he looks great on the feet but stayed busy enough.

That trip was nice.

 

[zychi]

can anyone hook a man up with some light? my cable box just died

 

[op_ivy]

I give Jake that round.

what.

 

[Brinbe]

amazing

 

[Caspel]

How did Dan Henderson ever lose to Jake Shields. UFC Shields is ugly =/

 

[SyNapSe]

If Shields wants to win he needs to do everything possible to push the pace as Sexy is carrying a TON of muscle.

 

[abstract alien]

That was a ludicrous takedown

 

[AiTM]

How did Dan Henderson ever lose to Jake Shields. UFC Shields is ugly =/

I was just saying that to my friend.

"And to imagine not that long ago, that guy beat Hendo"

 

[dem]

Shields is going to beat Akiyama by decision.. and joe is gonna be all wtf

 

[Balehead]

That takedown was sexy, god damn

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Those trips look great but there's been absolutely nothing the moment after them offensively.

 

[The Faceless Master]

20-18 Jake

he's decisioning the fuck out of Sexyama

 

[Instro]

Akiyama is stupid. He isn't being active at all even though he is shrugging off everything Shields is doing. I don't think those Judo takedowns are enough to steal the rounds for him.

 

[Glorified G]

what.

Shields landed much more shots.

 

[Cipherr]

Those trips look great but there's been absolutely nothing the moment after them offensively.

Well, the thing is, there hasnt been anything at all on either side except for those sweet trips. So.... I dunno, Im seeing him winning if the 3rd round goes the same way. Shields has just repeatedly been stuffed.

 

[op_ivy]

Shields landed much more shots.

yeah, i guess. lots of really shitty strickes >>> couple of takedowns with nothing else. i take my statement back

 

[Panzon]

20-18 Jake

he's decisioning the fuck out of Sexyama

No way man

 

[Eggo]

Is Shields outstriking Sexyama? It's so hard to tell. Those jabs and strikes are landing, but there's nothing on them, and all his takedowns are getting stuffed, but I don't think those score points.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I like when Shields gets hit he throws his hands forward like "oh no oh no oh no!"

Jake is winning these rounds. He's not doing damage but he's more active and landing way more strikes.

 

[dem]

Akiyama is usually much more aggressive than this..

 

[nick nacc]

Zzzzzzzz

Points are points.

 

[Diprosalic]

when did the ufc start with stupid stats?

 

[Instro]

Akiyama is usually much more aggressive than this..

Its like he doesn't respect Shields at all, so he is not even trying.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

93 to 41 strikes. Sexy's takedowns don't mean a thing since he's not even getting damage, control, or positioning from it.

 

[dem]

What would you give Akiyama points for?

The takedowns shouldn't count.. he didn't even keep him down.

 

[Dysun]

How to win a fight with terrible striking: Jake Shields

 

[alr1ght]

you have never seen judges judge.

 

[Instro]

Akiyama is going to lose.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

If Sexy gets points for the trips, Shields should get points for that takedown. I'm not even a Shields fan but they need to be consistent.

That's the 3rd time Sexy has grabbed the cage to save the takedown. He did it in the 1st too.

 

[Brinbe]

oh shit

secured it in that last 30 secs

 

[Cipherr]

Doesnt matter now Jake secured it with round 3 wow!

 

[tass0]

You have to fuck up bad to have a Japanese crowd booing you.

I think Shields just stole that decision.

 

[Diprosalic]

terrible fight.

 

[nick nacc]

Refs... Please rob shields. He's so lame

 

[DY_nasty]

goddamnit sexiyama...

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I'm guessing 30-27, 29-28, and 29-28 Shields

 

[Glorified G]

If you get outstriked by Jake Shields you should seriously contemplate retirement.

 

[polyh3dron]

I happen to remember another Cesar Gracie fighter ending a fight in the exact same position.

 

[NomarTyme]

Nice job by Sheilds.
