Chuck tipping an upset... http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/04/26/chuck-liddell-thinks-jake-shields-will-upset-georges-st-pierre/
I actually want to see Shields win as well. Not sure why but will be rooting for him ;D.

Unlucky once again J! I can't watch as well.... not enough money for PPV (Never get any PPV's) and not old enough to go to a bar to watch it.

Looking forward to this, looks like a really good card.
GSP vs Shields has had a good leadup and Im pumped for the fight!
Would take a dam good effort to beat GSP.
Machida and Couture is another Im looking frwd to :)

definitely a great card...

Randy Vs Machida :o Machida is so elusive and Randy likes to dirty box, Machida usually lands a counter strikes and Randy has an amazing chin, could be the fight of the night... could also be as boring as batshower if both arent on their game :-\

im guessing similar to the Frank Mir thing, 2 matches against a guy lucky to win the first and then beaten convincingly in the 2nd fight puts u straight to the back of the line...

yea sounds about right. If Lyoto gets the win then hopefully he works his way up the ladder, if he doesnt win then he might be in strife...

well from what I read it was a fantastic night with a lacklustre finish.
The Machida KO over Couture was sick apparently, knocking out a tooth.
Nate Diaz got owned  :o cant belive that as I watched that McDonald kick get beat by Condit and he looked pretty poor.
Henderson a spinning backfist knockout would of been kool...
Aldo and Homminick a good 5 round fight by reports.
And the big one, GSP vs Shields was a standup jab fight. apparently very boring.
GSP won convincingly on the scorecards.

Welterweight Championship bout:  Georges St-Pierre (c) DEF Jake Shields. (Unanimous Decision)
Featherweight Championship bout:  José Aldo (c) DEF Mark Hominick. (Unanimous Decision)
Light Heavyweight bout:  Vladimir Matyushenko DEF Jason Brilz. (TKO 1st Round)
Light Heavyweight bout:  Randy Couture Lost to Lyoto Machida (KO 2nd Round)
Lightweight bout:  Mark Bocek Lost to Ben Henderson (KO 2nd Round?)

I was checking out a stream, but it kept on freezing every 5 seconds for like 10 so gave up on it.

Standup fight boring? They must have been just staring off most of the time then!

I read some article stating that most of the fight was stand up and Shields couldnt take GSP to ground.
Not much action apparently..

GSP is a master of disecting others weaknesses and exploiting them...

then there is his visualisation techniques he would be so hard to defeat without knocking him out bcos he is so mentally prepared to win...

saw a sports science special on him the other day, his endurance is 15% better than anyone else they have ever tested and they deal with elite athletes of all sports, his takedown force was equal to Rashard Evans who has 30lbs on him :o and he punches harder than Shogun Rua kicks :o :o
