Guilherme Cruz: GSP is fighting this Saturday against Jake Shields. What are your expectations for this fight?
Greg Jackson: Jake Shields is very, very tough and he know much Jiu-Jitsu, so I’m expecting him to come in and try to take Georges down and submit him, or try to get a guillotine, so we trained very hard to make sure that Georges’ Jiu-Jitsu is doing very good. He trained at Renzo Gracie’s Academy, do a lot of Jiu-Jitsu there and hopefully it’ll be able to keep them off those things.
GC: What do you think Shields will try to bring to this fight? Do you believe he’ll try to take GSP down all the time?
GJ: Yeah, I think Jake is going 100% for the takedown and try to finish Georges on the ground. I don’t think he think he can knock Georges out. I think he’s going to put everything he’s got into takedown and maybe jumping into a leg-lock, pulling guard and try to go for the leg-lock.
GC: GSP was working also with Roger Gracie. How do you think it makes GSP’s Jiu-Jitsu even better?
GJ: I think Roger Gracie has the best Jiu-Jitsu in the world and I think that if he can get used to Roger being on top you, working you, crushing you and you still live, anybody else below that will not be as tough as him. So I really think that’s gonna help us a lot, because Roger is so amazing.
