Is simpson in the same league as shields in terms of wrestling and ground control?

Tough fight for Miller. Wrestler thats tough to submit. Much bigger and stronger than shields. Kind of a no win for him 
Aaron is not a gimme fight for anyone. You better show up to fight against him or you will get beatdown. I give the edge to Miller, but this is no easy fight.
Edit: for spelling
I dont think Simpson will be shooting much since he stands most of his fights and likes to box. Should be exciting
Dangerous first fight that could kill any momentum mayhem has. Bisping would've been perfect.
^^^Mayhem underrated on this board?! This guy's stock has risen dramatically over the past two years, seemingly attributable to only two factors: 1) being the host of a reality show and 2) not fighting Nick Diaz.
a gimme? Puhlease.
Simpson is tough as nails, theres no way Jason takes him lightly...
Im not saying he takes him lightly, or that he is an easy fight. Im suggesting that he is getting a bit of an easier road then for example Akiyama, his first fight is belcher, followed by W.SIlva ultimately got Leben, and then Bisping.

This thread is fighter bashing. Simpson is a top quality opponent and I wanted this fight so I can earn a FOTN bonus. He wouldn't be a gimmie fight for anyone in the division. That's just disrespectful.

Good luck in the fight, Aaron is a tough guy but I think you can pull it off

Just par for the course here on the UG these days.
All of these keyboard warrior idiots talking about "Gimme fights", "So and So is scared of So and So".
There are very few gimme fights in MMA, and 0 at the UFC level. Also, if you've decided to make your living as a professional cage fighter, that's a pretty good indication that you've gotten over any fear of fighting.
There are still a lot of respectable fans of this sport, but unfortunately, they've either never bothered to post here, or have given up due to the constant barrage of dumb spouted by the clueless new class of fan.
The bad part is, I don't expect it to get anything but worse.
lol at Simpson being a gimme fight for anyone other than Anderson Silva

Not fighter bashing, I just thought that if you would come to the UFC you would get a higher profile fight, or fighter with a better recent record. Not as much of a knock on him as much as felt you deserved someone higher on the totem pole.
All the power to you in the fight.
Poirier was a "gimme" fight for Grispi, look how that turned out

I guess by discussing mma on a mma message board I have turned into a Keyboard warrior.
jct71 - Munoz handled Simpson, wondering if that info helps Mayhem with his prep. Munoz seems to be one of the better wrestling coaches based on his affiliation with 2 great teams.
Handled? lol
Hey Mayhem did they offer you any other fights or was this the one and only?
