not the best GSP fight. his eye was clearly bothering him.
I hope it's not serious
Pretty impressive that he had eye issues through the second round and onwards and was able to fend off and keep Jake Shields on his heels. Guy is warrior!
Shields didn't seem like he wanted to fight much. Funny how GSP said Shields was better than he thought, yet beat him with 1 eye. He probably didn't think a whole lot of him to start with.
All in a all, Homonick's fight was a lot more entertaining, despite the loss.
Hopefully GSP's eye is Ok. Not seeing with an eye that doesn't look damaged means that he could have internal damage. This could compromise GSP's career if the damage is serious.
Someone recorded the fight? Was working tonight and would love to listen to the fight!
Wasn't much to write home about. Shields for some reason thought he could beat GSP in a standup fight .. ridiculous. Never really seriously tried to fight in the clinch or take GSP down.
GSP had one eye for 4 out of 5 rounds and still won the fight and frankly other than the 5th round, I am not sure which other round the 48-47 scores gave Shields, because GSP dominated the fight.
The main event sucked. Shields has not been impressive at all in his 2 UFC fights. St. Pierre needs to get back to winning and stop fighting not to lose. I found it disappointing. The Hominick/Aldo fight was exciting and I got way more respect for Hominick now, not that I didn't already. He had a great 5th round but was no where near to finishing him.
Pretty boring main event. GSP didn't look that good. Fought not to lose. With that said, Sheilds looked scared and looked like he believed he had no chance anyhow.
Hominick/Aldo was an entertaining fight.
In the prelims, Rory Mcdonald looked very impressive dismantling Diaz.
I found it very incredible for GSP to control the fight like he did with a disabled eye.
Might not have been the most exciting fight but I liked it anyway. He's very technical and his defense is flawless. Loved it.
Let's hope his eye injury isn't serious.
Pretty easy to have a flawless defense when the guy you're fighting doesn't even try to use his skills to beat you.
Shields was hyped up (over hyped as usual) as this unstoppable juggernaut in BJJ. Now, I've been watching the UFC for many years and I know they always try to over hype fights especially when they have a depleted division. Having watched Shields in his last few fights, I knew there was no chance he would beat GSP. That being said, he made it extra easy on him by not even shooting for a takedown once. I can understand trying to establish a strategy in order to make GSP think you want to keep it standing the whole time, but not one takedown attempt??? Ridiculous.
As for GSP, I really don't know what he was doing. It was yet another boring fight from GSP who was mainly popular for his entertaining display of action in his earlier years. Another example as to why A.Silva is without a doubt, the best P4P fighter in the world.
Jake Shields had no business being in a Championship Bout, it was embarrassing.
As for Couture, just retire already.
Rather boring UFC yet again, only Aldo was entertaining.
Cant blame gsp he was extremelly worried about his eye.. as for being boring, he is so sound technically that everyone is afraid of challenging him or they dont found any holes in his game... huge respect to gsp, again hooefully nothing serious.
