UFC 129 - Georges St-Pierre (c) vs. Jake Shields


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

that's insane, this is clearly going to be the biggest PPV of year maybe ever!

Live gate, sure. PPV results.... hummm. Don't know. Even Bones vs Shogun did just OK on the PPV front. Lesnar vs JDS will probably sell more PPV even if the card isn't as stacked (from a MMA-as-sport perspective).

OMG CAN'T WAIT!

Got the event ordered, sitting at work now just waiting to go home. Have a bunch of people coming over to see GSP defend his title!

I gots to cheer the under dog on...I always do in the hope that not everything goes by the script :p

Are you going to cheer for Okami as well? After seeing what GSP did to Koscheck's eye and since Jake Shields doesn't have good striking skills (which is odd considering he trains with Nick Diaz) and is at his best at MW, I just don't see it going his way.

I was cheering for Belfort but yeah we all know how that went....I live in the belief that UFC is sometimes unpredictable and that Shields could somehow find a way but yeah its 85% sure GSP will pwn him.

Main Card

* Welterweight Championship bout: Georges St-Pierre (c) vs. Jake Shields

* Featherweight Championship bout: JosΓ© Aldo Β© vs. Mark Hominick

* Light Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. Lyoto Machida

* Lightweight bout: Mark Bocek vs. Ben Henderson

Preliminary Card

* Welterweight bout: Nate Diaz vs. Rory MacDonald

* Welterweight bout: Sean Pierson vs. Brian Foster

* Featherweight bout: Yves Jabouin vs. Pablo Garza

* Welterweight bout: Claude Patrick vs. Daniel Roberts

* Bantamweight bout: Ivan Menjivar vs. Charlie Valencia

* Middleweight bout: Jason MacDonald vs. Ryan Jensen

* Lightweight bout: John Makdessi vs. Kyle Watson

those are my predictions. poor hominick is gonna die...

also the main event is gonna go 5 rounds and it's going to be boring...

I predict Jake Shields to win via rear naked choke in Round 2. Well, I hope for this...haha. I think it is possible. Down with GSP!

Possible? Sure. But if Jake ends up winning and if it is by submission, I doubt it will be with something as dominating as a RNC. An sneaky armbar or triangle would be more likely.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on LinuxΒ https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
