Good! Lawler is way over rated.
Wrong gameplan for Lawler. He should have KO’d him. Shields’ standup is so horrible. He could never hang with guys like GSP.
Anyone surprised?
Predictable.
Sliiiick. Thanks for fast post.
Sorry now that I got first post lol, … It was a good win against a bigger opponent and a guy who many feel is a top 5 185 pounder in the world (i don’t agree with at all). That being said Shields should still fight at 170 and he’s one of the best at 170. That also being said if he fought GSP he’d get his ass handed to him quiet quickly. His stand up looked ok but not dangerous and there is no way he’d be submitting GSP as easy as he did Lawler
that was a nice choke, by the time he got up to slam him, he was already passing out…
Muahahah.
Thank you Bruno, you’re the best.
Shields is a very good fighter, but boy is he fucking stiff on his feet. No head movement, he has a bad KO coming soon if he doesn’t fix that.
He doesn’t have bad speed, he just needs to loosen up and move.
sheilds…hes needs to leave strikeforce and fight some fights that actually matter …hes the real deal
wow, arm-in guillotine. and he pulled it out. you rarely see that.
More evidence that Robbie is a blockhead with no brain matter. He fell right into it.
Shields…I like the man I do. But he would not last at all in the UFC.
BTW Jakey…its call HEAD MOVEMENT and you might want to look into it.
now that’s how you finish a fight. UFC here we come
shields toom quite a beating trying to get lawyer down. i was expecting lawyer to be more aggressive during that. good gameplan of shielsds to make lawyer think that after the firsst takedown attempt he would just stand and trade. id love to see thiago alves vs robbie lawyer though that would be a war.
Shields needs to work on his stand up game then come to the UFC
Never, ever, underestimate Gracie Jiu-jitsu.
Let’s hear it for Bruno folks. He really brought it tonight. As usual his post timing was on point, but I’ve really been impressed with his ground game lately. His ability to not only post a little bit of something for everyone but keep us busy in between main events has really just gone off the charts!
Yikes, whats with my comment being removed? I was just asking if it was possible to post a fight, I wasn’t being disrespectful in any way.
Bruno: Your comments are not being removed. I just woke up. Remember, I am a one man show so you sometimes have to be patient.
nvmrd then……..odd
WOW!!! JIU_JITSU the best!!!
You would think he could box a little better since he comes out of the same camp as Nick Diaz. Give him some help Nick before he gets knocked out….
Nice Fight Jake!!!
thanks bruno!!! ur the man!!! peace!!!
u want to be a good fighter? no… do u want to be the best figheter? dont train on past, train so the future fights never bring a surprise.
lawler is a very good fighter, but loosing to a stupid chocke is pathetic. empose your will. fight your fight and every move is in your favor.
arlovski, lawler, did not know what THEY wanted to do with their oponnent.
come out n make em fight you, not you fight them!
I agree with blackspoon, but I am glad Shields won,when you know someone wont try to take you down, you can kick them all day and never have to worry about a take down!
man i dont like sheilds. i think he has talent (on ground only!!) but every time i watch him fight its like why hasnt he just been knocked the hell out yet
Nice finish.
this was a solid card, with good matchups. hopefully strikeforce can hang in there so the UFC does not hold the monoply on employment for fighters.
Excellent guillotine. Why Lawler put himself in such danger ??
“he would not last in the ufc”?? Whoever made that comment is a retard, he would take out every fighter in the ufc’s WW division except GSP.
there is a reason they are in strikeforce…..absolutely horrible…what elite fighter gets caught in a standup guillotine???? Shields is completely off balance in his striking…no ufc for you…lol
sheild’s might not be the best striker but he knows how to survive long enough to get it to the ground.. id like to see him and fitch go at it.. he beat fitch in grappling match..
School boy error robbie!
Looked like the fighters were having trouble getting good footing on what looks to be a very slippery, soft mat. This was a big advantage for Shields. And Lawler looked drugged, lethargic, and ready to lose – a big difference from the aggressive animal he’s been in past fights. Fixed?
wow, it looked like lawler took shields too lightly and I thought lawler would have had the strength to pull out of that guillotine
abrigado bruno JIU JIT SU!!!!!
What Elite fighter gets caught in a standup guillotine? How about pat Militech, Robbie’s former coach about two years ago against Renzo Gracie, Shild’s coach’s brother.
yo i can box jake shields and probably give em a good fight.da dude sux yo.ZERO respect for dat fool
yes lawler is and always has been overrated. good fight though fo rjust a couple minutes
shields is a good fighter, but bottom of the food chain in the ufc
You guys need to relax with the fighter bashing, seems to exist too much in combat sports.
I’m not a fan of Lawler and his strategy was to stand and trade and snuff the takedowns which he did, but to be caught in what looked like an arm in guillotine was quite poor..you could tell from his reaction he wasn’t happy with that. Jake Shields has great BJJ, say what you want about his striking (which i agree needs improvement) but he finished that beautifully. And for all the people saying he wont get in the UFC because hes one dimensional, i can name you at least 5 fighters in the UFC that are one dimensional but win fights and get nice pay days.
althought I am disappointed with the end results,it was a pretty good fight.Ruthless will bounce back from this loss.
filo561…you think you could stand a chance against Shields?? Where have you fought?? What league are you in?? Watch bully beatdown. You sound like you couldn’t beat a hard on.
??? y is all the opponents that’ll make cung le vs . whoever a dream fight keep losing?
as I f***n’ told ya!!
Sheilds got lucky with that choke.
Shields vs Riggs needs to happen
Nah, Calizmo called it. Failure to evolve my friends. This is the same Lawler that added a Vagina to Tiki’s face and got KO’d by Diaz. The dude has a very limited set of strengths but is perfect for this level of competition. Shields needs to train his stand up, or he will be in the same boat before he knows it.
