Well Jake is younger, and a great wrestler with better Jiu-Jitsu than Hughes (and most people), so on paper it's a no-brainer, advantage Shields.
Interesting that Cesar thought GSP has 'quicker hands', quicker than B.J. or quicker than Jake? Overall GSP may be a tougher match for Jake, but if he thinks Georges has better hands than B.J., I think he's mistaken. B.J. would put a beating on Jake if he decided to stand and trade. On the ground, they would match up pretty good I think.
Still, like many people, I want to see what Jake can do against UFC competition. If he dominates Drew Fickett, that will confirm his spot as a top WW. If he struggles with Fickett but gets a win, then I would still rank him top 5 UFC, somewhere just above Koshcheck.
Sidenote: Didn't Hughes beat Sakurai too?
