Martin
Kampmann, on “The
Savage Dog Show,” discussing former opponent Jake Shields’
chances against Georges
St. Pierre at UFC
129:
“I think Jake Shields is definitely a tough competitor. He’s a little one-dimensional, but he’s really good at what he does. … If he gets on top of anyone, he can put them in trouble. His jiu-jitsu’s really good, especially his top game. He’s relentless with his takedowns, but his standup’s not so good. That’s obviously the biggest hole in his game. I think he’s going to have a tough time taking GSP down. … You never know, but standing up [Shields] is going to get picked apart. I never count out anybody, but I think his chances are slim.”
