Shields terrible stand up fails him again. Sexyama keeps off his back and picks shields apart finally finishing him in the second.

Prediction: correct Shields   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I really dont think so
Sheilds was able to grapple Dan Henderson to the ground
Shields will be able to do the same except more impressively to "Sexy" Yama   
I see a decision or submission for Shields

I predict Shields outgrappling Akiyama for a win but would not be surprised to see Akiyama come in on top form and pull off a win.

Prediction: correct Shields   correct Decision  

Judging by the look of his appearance at the wigh-in, Akiyama looks to be coming into this fight in good shape. Although, it will interesting to see how his conditioning holds up after dropping down a weight class and taking on a natural welterweight like Shields.

I've got Shields winning this by decision, but a late submission is quite possible if Akiyama gasses and leaves an arm or leg open for too long on the mat.

That was a great throw.  I love a good judo throw.  I like the look on Shields face as he goes down.  "Oh ****..."

No, I do karate, but we do a fair bit of grappling as we are a more self-defense based system.

Pretty much the same here, kempo-based self defense system.  I would drop it in a heartbeat for a legit jiu-jitsu class.  We had a 10th planet class, but it got dropped due to lack of interest.  I see we do have a judo school in town, I should check it out.
