I just don't like Shields. There are a lot of nice guys, class acts, and good resume guys...doesn't mean they are supposed to be liked by everyone.

He is a poor man's Jon Fitch or GSP. He is not an exciting fighter (most of the time). He lays on his opponent and bores them to the win. That's what he did to Dan Henderson...and that's what got him in the UFC. In his last 17 fights, he has 15 wins...4 by submission and 2 by TKO...all the others are boring decisions. I know, a win is a win, but that's what he does, lay on them and get the win.

He almost subbed Henderson like 4 or 5 times, he actually looks for submissions unlike Fitch who just holds people down. I don't think he's a poor mans Fitch as I think he would beat Fitch.

Rogan had to be fucked up during the broadcast the way he was stumbling over words. I lol'd when he said fart instead of fight.

Rampage is at his best in post fight interviews after he has won so I'm hoping for him to come out on top so I get a chance to listen to his rant.

I will be watching this weekends fights at a BW3.

I am excited about this whole card, can't pick who to root for in the title fight as I really like Jones and Rampage.

I am excited as well about the Hendo/Shogun fight, that will be amazing, and probably the winner gets the winner of Jones/Rampage (or Evans if he is back healthy).
