I don't get Jake telling him he's up confidently

He may be, but it's close and why would you give your fighter any mental thought of taking his foot off the gas or conserving when it's close? Especially in a title fight...

 

I just don't get Jake's strategy there, I'd tell my guy it''s close, you may  be up but do even more. Like Jackson does for his guys especially GSP "Him him with your groin!"

 

He's not the only guy either, it happens all the time and BACKFIRES a lot.

And up 3-0?

 

As Joe has just mentioned Gil's urgency seems gone all of sudden. Bad move iMO

Jake is not thinking straight bewildered by Hendo's thick linebacker thighs

Well he just said "these rounds are close you need to win this last round"
I would agree

T Bag - Well he just said "these rounds are close you need to win this last round"
I would agree


A change from the the last round where he was so confident. It's mixed messages. 



 



Sounds like a bad idea to me

These team Cezar Gracie corners leave a lot to be desired. Nick seems like the only one to consistently give decent advice.

"Take this third round"

- Jake Shields, before fifth round Phone Post 3.0

I didnt' hear 3-0, I heard it as you have to win this to go up to 3
