ROUND 4 - Shields comes out a little stronger this round to start, but is having trouble applying any pressure. GSP again catches a kick and drives Shields to the canvas before backing out. St. Pierre goes back to the double jab over hand right combination and can't get it. Head kick from St. Pierre rocks Shields and drops him to the canvas. GSP follows up and is nearly reversed when he over commits on a punch. Shields strikes are barely moving at this point and he actually invites GSP to strike with him. Short right from Shields lands.
