GSP vs. Jake Shields: An MMA mismatch.

GSP’s next title defence is going to be against Jake Shields. Personally we at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ feel as if this is going to be a mismatch.
That statement will shock some people but not everyone. Let’s face the facts. Jake Shield’s is a tremendous wrestler and BJJ specialist. Any fighter one can go on a 15 match winning run in MMA deserves some attention.

However we at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ believe there is one key reason or should http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ say area which makes this a mismatch and that is stand-up. GSP is one of the most well rounded if not the most well rounded fighter in MMA. He is arguably one on the pound for pound contenders in MMA. It does not matter where the fight goes GSP will be extremely comfortable. GSP had won 30 straight MMA rounds. That record alone considering the competition he has faced is incredible.

As http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ statement earlier Shield’s greatest weapon is his ground game. If he can’t take the fight to the ground then he will have a really big problem. There is an old saying about MMA. 80% of MMA matches go to the ground but 100% start standing up. Martin Kampmann was able to hit Jake Shields numerous times in Shield’s Octagon debut when the fight was standing. Dan Henderson was able to do the same. We at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ believe that if Shield’s can’t take GSP to the ground then it will be a very long night for him.
