Most people outside here are saying Shields will take it. Shields has the sickest wrestling this side of GSP.
Personally, I hope and think he will win. I want to see Shields fight a whoooooole lot of people in UFC, so I don't want an early loss ruining his chances. GSP vs Shields needs to happen.
But please...PLEASE! KEEP YOUR CHIN TUCKED JAKE!
Thank you Cain. The second Brock couldn't coast with his size and wrestling, he got destroyed. Thank you for removing that jackass.
We now have a true champion. Cain Velasquez. I am so happy right now.
As for Shields, I am surprised. He won obviously, but he looked so shaky towards the end. I wonder if the weight cut got to him.
Either way, Shields and Cain both won. Some goodness has returned to the universe.
Now if someone could just knock Nick Diaz out.

Brock is the real deal, he just has no stand up. Once he improves that, he'd come back and murder Cain.

Fedor is only overrated to the Brock nuthuggers, which is hilariously ironic especially after what we just saw happen tonight.😂
You know we all love you.
Orale Velasquez, guey! Nice to see a home-grown Arizona boy as world champ.

Some thoughts on the fights:
-Did Brock actually shove that cop on his way to the ring?
-Brock looked drunk the way he did that 360 twirl.
-It was also too short, and the way he was abnormally humble, makes me wonder if Brock threw fight...who knows.
-Kampmann got screwed; he definitely beat Shields.
-Tito definitely threw that fight. He's the better fighter and underperformed today. I think he just didn't want the stigma of beating someone with a disability.
Nobody threw anything. Cain threw extremely hard punches. That's it.

I think the pure ease with which he outgrapples most people is fun to watch, but I can understand your sentiment. Either way, Kampmann has no real chances against GSP outside of luck. Shields could at least throw speed bumps at GSP.

That is possible, but I think GSP will use that opportunity to remind everyone of his extraordinary striking. I am still curious how their wrestling matches up though. I think Shields might put on a show if cutting weight isn't hindering him like it probably did tonight.

I turned my head before I heard Joe say he shoved the cop, but I'm sure a GIF will pop up soon.
Maybe, but the humility is a welcome addition to his persona.

Shields lost IMO. Did NO damage.

No not even. Shields used an age-old transparent tactic: hug him when you're gassed so it looks like you're doing something. That's all it was. He couldn't even lock a rear-naked, even though he had Kampmann's back for the last 30 seconds of the fight. That last clinch knee is what messed up Shields. After that knee, it was over for him. He just never fully recovered, so he figured he'll convince the judges that he's still in it by hugging Kampmann, and hopefully they'll give it to the new guy. ...And it worked; they gave it to him.

I didn't really get Cain's statement that "we did it" to the "latinos" in the crowd. It's not like they transferred ki energy to him.
Why did you put Latinos in quotes?

And yeah, in large numbers we have this supernatural ability to transfer our life-essence into another like a conduit. So Cain didn't win, it was the collective hive-mind of all the other Mexicanos in the arena who won through him. And his "we did it" comment was a veiled "thank you".
Called it for the main event fight.

Both top notch wrestlers, both with great cardio, Cain has the edge in striking, I'd give power to Brock.The fighter with the better game plan will win this. We've learned that Brock does not like getting hit, and in his last fight, he looked lost when he got hurt.
Cain is patient, and once he lands that one punch, he will capitalize and take advantage in an intelligent approach.
I'm going with Cain via TKO but would not be surprised at all if Brock dominates.
