Just watched George St. Pierre and Jake Shields UFC119 main event. Even I heard a lot about this one.
I was mildly impressed. St. Pierre is fast, but wild. Shields was very methodical, slower, but very precise with his punches. He turned St. Pierre into St. Picasso when it was all done.
I agree with the judges though, the Champ deserved to win because he won the first 3 rounds, but Shields easily won the last 2 and if it went another round he would've beaten the Champ.
If Shields is this feared wrestler, submission guy why didn't he try to rush the Champ with 1 min left in Round 5? The Champ was bloody and blind in his left eye for most of the fight...Shields didn't really try to take the Champ to the mat. The Champ took Shields down a couple of times but retreated off of him.
I think there needs to be a rematch, to be honest. St. Pierre was lucky to hold on for the win, and I'd watch those two again.
