UFC 129 Predictions and Discussion

Here is the main fights. My predictions are listed below each fight. -GSP VS JAKE SHIELDS- Unlike most, I know Shields can win this very quickly. Georges can't. But, I believe this will go to the judges, leaving GSP with a hard won UD. -JOSE ALDO V MARK HOMINICK- True enough Mark is technically the best striker in the FW division. And he will make it out of the 1st and 2nd round, but not the third. 3rd TKO. -RANDY C. V MACHIDA- Randy retires the winner of a split decision. -NATE DIAZ V RORY MCDONALD- Nate wins 3RD SUB . -BEN HENDERSON V BOCEK- HENDERSON VIA SUB 3RD Your thoughts on the main as well as the under cards?

There are a topic for this already you know?

Anyway:

GSP vs Shields: I am betting in another jab festival. Most likely a unanimous decision for GSP. If it ends up in the ground though, Shields may pull a submission victory.

Aldo vs Hominick: Hmm, Aldo by 2nd round KO/submission probably

Randy vs Machida: I am betting on 3rd round KO for Machida. If he doesn't ge the KO then Randy by decision

Diaz vs McDonald: Diaz by submission probably

Henderson vs Bocek: Ah, who cares lol. Maybe henderson.

GSP by 3rd round TKO.
Aldo by 2nd round submission.
Machida by UD (though I REEEAALLLY want Randy to retire on a win 🙁).
Nate Diaz by 2nd round TKO.
Ben Henderson by UD.

Wishful thinking? 😛

That's just how I see it in all honesty. I don't think Jake will be able to take GSP down, and he's going to be lit up on the feet. Wishful thinking would be me saying Georges will TKO him in the 2nd, but I'm giving Shields the benefit of the doubt.

And all this time I thought it was Kampmann vs GSP for the title. -_- lol

Poor Kampmann, two bad decisions in a row. His time will come.

In your defense, the Shields/Kampmann fight could have gone either way. I kinda suspect that the judges were playing favorites.

Without a doubt Shields was brought in to win against Kampmann in order to set up a fight with GSP.

Shields is going to win.

I'll bet batdude's life on it.

Looks like I'm safe.

So you think Shields will win too?

I'm just saying, Shields landed 4 out of 15 takedown attempts against Kampmann. And I understand he's training with Chael at the moment, but if MMA math works in this situation, Shields should technically have tons of difficulty taking down GSP.

You can't be serious.

Why the hell wouldn't he be? Surely you can't be serious about Shields winning...

Surely you didn't just go full retard.

Mindset, you're the best there is at what you do.

batdude is afraid to embrace the truth that Shields will win.

I'll hold him in my strong arms and comfort him when that time comes.

I can't tell if you're serious or not.

GSP is a better striker and wrestler than Shields. Sure anything could happen, but I'm not really seeing how being slightly better at BJJ gives Jake decent odds at winning.
