Strikeforce "Lawler vs Shields"

[TheMadEskimo]

Big weekend for MMA, Strikeforce is putting another great lineup of fighters on Saturday.....

:punch:

Lawler vs Shields - I want Shields to take this one, but I think Robbie Lawler is just to big and powerful for a smaller Shields. Shields strength is his ground game being a wrestler and BJJ Gracie black belt. I think Lawler training with a powerful wrestler in Matt Hughes will have Lawler ready for anything Shields has to offer. Plus Shields has 0 stand up! Lawler by KO in the second.

Arlovski vs Rogers - Rogers has a punchers chance against Arlovski and his glass jaw, but I don't see that happening, I think Arlovski will pick apart Rogers in the first and KO him in the second.

Diaz vs Smith - Same as above, Scott Smith has a punchers chance only Diaz has a granite chin. Diaz can take this to the ground and win anyway he wants, but as usual Nick Diaz will try and stand up and trade the whole time. So Scott Smith will have a chance to KO Diaz. But I will take Diaz by whtever he wants in the third.

I kinda knew Rogers was gonna beat Arlovski. He has some heavy ass punches, and Arlovski's chin has been mad suspect lately. Diaz...fuck that fool. Talking about how he hates being the bad guy, and yet he acts like a dick the entire fight.
