Someone needs to give Rogan some booze and some pot and tell him to chill the fark out. The guy is a clown.

I just realized Sheilds could win this fight Garcia style. Akiyama needs to start swinging.

Shields isn't that fun to watch.

HEY MIKE!

YEAH?

QUICK TIME EVENT! *HERE COMES A FIST*

Also, can't wait to see Tate shut Rousey up.

Shut up about the leg kick Joe. My nephew throws harder kicks then that.

Jake Shields could make a fight against anyone boring.

I want Shields to lose SO BADLY!

I feel bad for Jake Shields. He seems like a nice enough guy, but for some reason has decided to align himself with those shiatbags the Diaz brothers and Cesar Gracie.

psychicdeath99: Jake needs the submission, or it's over.

I dunno.. one or more of the judges might have a hardon for numerous, yet ineffective strikes

Hoban Washburne: As someone who has been unimpressed with Sexyama since his Alan Belcher robbery

Watch the fight again with it on mute so you don't hear Rogan biatching. It's a very clear-cut 29-28.

Shields is going to win

The Bestest: psychicdeath99: Jake needs the submission, or it's over.

Quick, check cageside for Peoples!

eagles95: Shields is going to win

Makes sense. Akiyama will lose to Shields and then get a title shot.

Damn. Close fight.

Thank God this wasn't the main event.

WTFdoesitmatter: Jake Shields could make a fight against anyone boring.

violentsalvation: I hate Jake Shields.

Hellequin: I want Shields to lose SO BADLY!

That was almost a thread winning triple simul-post.

Joe Rogan is so awesome

Nice throws, but Sexy couldn't finish it. Nice scramble at the end by Shields, and two terrible fence-grabs by Sexy.

Jake takes it, I think, but he's lame anyway.

hat really should have been a point taken on the second grab, but shouldn't take this fight away from shields. I have it 29-28 SHields

Judges all score it 30-27 for Jake Shields.

Wow. Surprising scoring.

psychicdeath99: I would have taken a point for the fence grabs.

Second one clinched it for me.

unanimous 30-27

judges like feather flurries

30-27? whoa....

All three rounds? Surprising.

NorCalLos: Wow. Surprising scoring.

Yeah, 30-27 UD is odd. With all of the stuffed takedowns and several takedowns by Sexy...

That was NOT a 30-27 fight! Shields is SUCH a JOBBER!

So...do the judges just not like Akiyama, or what? All three rounds for Shields?

3 of Akiyama's last five fights were FOTN's, but four consecutive losses? See ya, dude.

Hoban Washburne: Mark Goddard is the shiattiest ref in the UFC.



BRING IT ON!

Wow.. Super humble.. Just straight out apologizes

psychicdeath99: Wow. Couldn't believe those scores. Not unhappy with the result, but I scored Akiyama higher. He had fewer strikes, but a lot more effective. Still, good for Shields.

Akiyama landed the bigger strikes and the "sexier" takedowns...two of them. Shields definitely won r3.
