Two weeks from this saturday, GSP and Shields are going to go at it in the Octagon.
I think I'm going to be rooting for GSP, but I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if Shields walks away with the belt. I'm just crossing my fingers that this will be a fight to remember for years to come, and hopefully seen on every highlight reel for the year.
I'm super excited for this whole event, not only are we getting this amazing title fight, but we're also going to see a SECOND amazing title fight in Jose Aldo vs Mark Hominick, AND Randy Couture (always a crowd favorite) taking on Lyoto Machida. If that wasn't enough, I think the lightweight bout of Henderson vs Bocek has the potential to be the most energetic and entertaining fight of the night.. you just never know what's going to happen when Henderson puts on the gloves!
With one exception, every fight on this card is one I've been particularly looking forward to, I just can't wait.
Here's my picks:
GSP defeats Jake Sheilds by submission - guillotine
Jose Aldo defeats Mark Hominick by knockout - punch
Vladimir Matyushenko defeats Jason Brilz by TKO
Randy Couture defeats Lyoto Machida via unanimous decision 29-28
Ben Henderson defeats Mark Bocek by knockout - head kick
