That's cool, that Akiyama and Shields fight should be a good one

Im surprised akiyama is still around

I think Shields will knock his head off in the welters

yeah sexyama has been sucking though too, but shields looked like garbage in his last fight too

Yea, it's time for Shields to turn things around though

hopefully bc he looked like trash

Shields better do something

Shields hasn't been impressive in the UFC and I know a lot of people are getting restless with him because he came in so hyped up so I agree, he'd better do something in this fight
