Mayhem poses a crazy threat to Shields's streak, very close match up here, I haven't been worried about Jake losing one like this since he faced Yushin Okami....

Miller is extremly underrated IMO. Jake should still be able to take this still if he's able to remain in top control.

Miller loves the GNP game, however this is where Jake shines, he'll be able to create a scramble and once Miller makes a mistake, Sheilds wins by submission.

Jake Shields via Guillatine or armbar. Fight never makes it to the third.

I wouldn't say Miller is extremely underrated, but he is better than what he's given credit for. I also don't think Shields is as great as what many people think.

That being said, I agree with JP's assessment entirely. Cose match, followed by a scramble and Shields' submission victory.

Wow. Mayhem was hilarious at the weigh-ins.

Looked quite a bit less strong than I figured he would coming into this fight. Hope he does well.

I wouldn't be that worried if I were a Shields fan. I think Shields is pretty over rated and I think Miller is a little under rated but what does Miller do that Shields doesn't do better? Shields is bigger, stronger and better on the ground which is Miller's strong point. When the other guy does what you do better how the hell do you win? Miller probably has an edge standing but not enough to KO Shields and I don't see him stopping the takedowns. Miller is good enough on the ground that I don't think Shields will finish him but I don't see Shields ever being in trouble in this fight. 50-45 dominant decision for Shields. (It is 5 rounds isn't it? If not then 30-37 Shields.)
