"This is a tough pick. I think they'll both come into this fight in great shape, each ready to fight hard to get back on the winning track. I'd love to see Chuck mix things up by blending some takedowns in with his striking, but I have a feeling he's going to want the KO finish. That could be a good thing, though, as I think many fans are hoping to see him get back to knocking fighters out. In the end I think Franklin will pull out a decision victory by using a lot of movement, picking good opportunities to attack and taking the fight into the later rounds." - Jeff on Chuck-Rich.
" Jeff Joslin: In the end, I think Georges wins this fight by using and sticking to a very solid game plan, which he always seem to do so well. Here’s how I see this fight going down: GSP will use a lot of movement early in the fight, looking to strike hard and fast with jabs and crosses. I don’t see him throwing a lot of kicks initially while Shields is fresh and still explosive with his takedown attempts. If he is able to land those strikes often on Shields -- which I believe he will -- I see him then driving in hard for the takedown and getting the top position. I don’t believe he will finish Shields, but if Jake gets back up to his feet, I see the same sequence of events happening over and over again. GSP by TKO due to strikes from accumulative damage or unanimous decision." - Jeff on GSP-Shields.
