Everyone thought the Ellenberger fight was gonna be easy for Shields to.
I think Akiama is gonna get the knock out

Great fight though, the UFC must have alot of confidence in Akiyama giving him this fight, it would be a really good win for him.

I'm hoping one of these two get injured and Sexyama gets a new opponent. Give him Duane Ludwig or something.

Of course but this is a very risky fight for him. If he loses we'll most likely never see him in the UFC again. A win right now would be good for Sexyama mentally and also in terms of experience b/c of the weight cut. Also i'm sure his fans wouldn't mind him picking up a win. After that though I completely agree with you.

I haven't decided who to pick, yet, but I'm leaning towards Akiyama.

Can I ask why everybody has been on Akiyama's nuts since he came to the UFC? He has had some really exciting fights in the UFC no doubt about it, but he hasn't won a fight yet (and for anyone who points out the Alan Belcher fight, I will ask you to watch the fight again, two of the judges clearly got it wrong) And for everyone who says he hasn't been taken down yet...well he hasn't fought a great grappler yet. The last time he fought a great grappler it was Sakuraba, and even though it doesn't show on the record, Akiyama did grease in that fight, and like Phalhares, Sakuraba shouldn't have been *****in' he should have been defending himself and he would have won that fight.
So final answer, Jake Shields, submission 1st round, or DQ for Akiyama greasing.

Sexyama by KO. I think his Judo will be enough to keep it standing where Akiyama can knock him out.

This was suppose to be the guy that was going to come into the UFC and have the best chance at taking GSP's belt. Shields looked very impressive in Strikeforce, EliteXC, and Rumble on the Rock, but not so well this past year. For some reason, this isn't the same Shields that beat Dan Henderson, Mayhem, Paul Daley, Robbie Lawler, Yushin Okami, Carlos Condit...
3 out of 4 of Akiyama's UFC fights have been fight of the night and he has looked better inside the octagon than Shields has. Although, Akiyama will be the one that will be cutting more weight, so hopefully that doesn't wear down on him.
I'm going to take Akiyama via decision. Unfortunately, that might mean that Shields may be receiving his walking papers. I'm sure if Akiyama loses, he will no longer be in the UFC as well.

Akiyama looks good for the first round and a half. But then he starts to lose steam and ends up looking horrible.
I'm still on the fence on who to pick.
