Jake Shields is rubbish. He'll never finish anyone worth mentioning. Herman shouldn't even be in there against a former Strikeforce champ  |

This is true, he had a stupid gameplan though. IMO he could have beaten Shields with sprawl and brawl. |

Yeah, during the first and second round I was yelling for him to break and start throwing bombs. It was so frustrating, I hate it when a fighter feels like he has to prove that he can hang in the other guys strength area, it very rarely works out well. |

I thought Shields would put on a bit of a show tonight so I was pretty disappointed with this fight. He got the win against a decent fighter but it was still a pretty average performance.
