Mayhem gets his title shot against Jake Shields on Nov. 7 on Strikeforce Emilianenko vs Rogers.I would like to get everybody's opinions because I think Miller is better in a cage.It should be a good scrap for sure!
I think this is a good fight, Miller is a b---- to sub, I'm not sure if Shields has ever fought anyone with as good sub D. With all that said, i still don't think it matters, Jake Shields is not just any fighter, I think Shields has probably the best overall ground game of anyone at 170. I think he would give GSP a run for his money, he's that good on the ground. I dont think the size is going to be an issue, Miller isn't that much bigger than Shields. Miller's going to get beat, but not as bad as most dudes would.
I like Miller, but i want Sheilds to destroy Miller so we can see Sheilds/Jacare!!!
And this fight is free! I love it! Strikeforce is my favorite mistress!

Do you have a source for this?
It is a likely match, but I haven't seen any other fights confirmed outside of Fedor / Rogers. They said there would be 4 fights all together. If this is one of them,they should make the Thompson / Melendez match happen also.

I mostly agree, but Miller's walk around weight is 210lbs and higher when not in training. Saw a couple days ago that Shields walk around was 182lbs in April when he started adding weight for Lawler. Because he does it right (without juice) his average weight a week ago was only 190lbs, said he should be up to 195-198 for this cut. Also said it takes a while to add effective weight, not just bulk and he was more into keeping his cardio than adding pounds. So Miller is going to be bigger, but Shields will still win this one. IMO
