I’ll make this quick, as I have a royal wedding to gatecrash this weekend. Biggest UFC ever! 55,000 fans. Rogers Centre. Toronto. Estimated live gate of $11m USD. That’s around 35,000,000 baht. A lot of short-times and somtam. 2 title fights, Randy Couture’s retirement fight and tonnes of potential for smashed teeth and broken noses here. Get some
George St Pierre vs Jake Shields (Welterweight Championship)
As much as the UFC hype machine is trying to sell Jake Shields up as a legitimate threat to GSPs crown, I just aint buying it. Although Shields hasn’t lost for 6 years, and is on a 15 fight win streak beating the likes of Dan Henderson, Yushin Okami, Carlos Condit, Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller etc etc, he hasn’t fought anyone near GSPs level. Shields is gonna wanna take this to the mat and try and work his world class BJJ game, as his striking is total shit. Seriously, watching him throw punches and kicks are as painful as that bout of drippy-dick you caught from the 500 bahter you scraped out of the Biergarten on your first BKK trip
