I actually think Hector's in for a long night against the cage using his Judo base defending takedowns. I hope to god I'm wrong, but I'm afraid this is going to be a stinker and Lombard will have nothing he can do about it. Sadly, Nothing Lombard has done since he signed with the UFC has convinced me otherwise. Both his UFC wins have been against guys who aren't even close to Shields' level when it comes to nullifying a fight.

Here's to be being abysmally wrong and Jake going night-night.

Shields is always underestimated in fights, yet he just keeps winning. If Lombard doesn't get the early KO Shields wins a decision.

Who did Shields piss off to get this match?  I suspect the UFC is assuming he'll lose and is building its case to release him.

On the other hand, Jake might just surprise some folks.

In other fights where the UFC was trying to undermine those it considered 'boring', the boring guy pulled off a surprise.

Of the.four fights.you listed Bill, none.of them had surprising outcomes...Where is your yead at?


People forget Shields has beaten some of the pound for pound best competition in all of MMA

Kampmann
Carlos Condit
Yushin Okami
Tyron Woodley
Dan Henderson
Robbie Lawler
Paul Daley
Mike Pyle
Prime Sakurai
Damian Maia

Thats just off the top of my head. I picked against Shields vs Woodley and Maia, Ill probably pick Lombard still but lets not act like Shields is being over matched.

Not sure who I'm taking yet but I am surprised by the people that think Jake is gonna get smashed in this fight.He only has 2 ko losses one in his third fight and the other was Ellenberger. He got blasted by Hendo and some how found a way to survive the round and win the fight.

And let's not forget what Shields was going through when Ellenberger beat him. That fight would look different if it happened again.

Completely agree @p4pgoat , I don't think Ellenberger beats him again if they had a rematch.

Shields had a victory stolen away from him against Georges St-Pierre.

I see him destroying Lombard.

@Notsmb, actually it's going to be Hector Lombard vs Jake Shields 1.

A cool thought, at one time Hector and Jake were both simultaneously considered the best Middleweights outside the.UFC.
