Prediction: correct St-Pierre wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 2
GSP's on another level and he'll prove it again. Not only with his jab, but his right cross and SUPERIOR GRAPPELING! While GSP always says he fights people where they are weakest i think he'll prove a point sometime throughout the fight that he has better takedowns and is better on the ground.
it was a while ago but watch the Shields/Daley fight from a couple years ago, he had a hell of a time getting Daley to the ground until round 2, took an ass whoopin', and finally locked in an arm bar. if he had a hard time taking Daley down, there is almost no chance he's getting GSP down.

typically yes, but are shields submissions something to avoid? i mean he had Hendo on his back and mounted for like 4 rounds and how many times did he attempt a submission? (i have to rewatch this fight now to see)
same goes for his fights with Mayhem and Kampman. I believe Lawlor would've KO'd him had he not been dumb enough to push Jake against the cage to. IDK, it sounds like i am a huge Jake Shields hater, which i am not, the guy is a stud, but i don't think he's fought near the level of competition GSP or any other UFC welterweight has. I think he should've had to fight BJ, Fitch, Condit (2nd time) or even Ellenberger before he got a title shot....

Now, after all that, I would still pick GSP via a decisive victory. But to say GSP will outclass Shields on the ground is a little over the top.

A lot of people said the same thing about GSP out classing BJ Penn on the ground too....

If gsp maintains top control. He won't have to worry about shields subs. but gsp is smart enough not to make any mistakes.I think the reason why shields got the title shot so soon is that the ufc didn't have anyone good to fight gsp except shields.

Lol, yea, great point, it's tough to believe that guys who need to be on top to win (Shields and Fitch) are going to be able to beat GSP. St-Pierre has a striking advantage on both guys, and is the more dominant wrestler. I am interested in seeing how Shields' wrestling stacks up with GSP's. It seems entirely possible that this fight could look a lot like the Koscheck or Fitch fights if Shields can't secure a takedown, which I'm assuming he won't be able to do. At this point I'm looking at it logically, however, I'm sure as the fight draws near, I'll be all geeked up and excited like a 12 year old girl who got a pony for her birthday, because of how long I've been waiting for this fight. Remember, people thought Dan Henderson was a terrible style match up for Shields too, and he found a way...
