1985 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I heard that jake shields is entering free agency after his fight with hendo,should the ufc bring him in to deepen the talent pool in the middle weight division that looks really weak right now. should they bring him to fight silva to prove that he sucks and his fight with hendo proved nothing except that he cant take a punch and dan is really old and didnt train for a five round or even a two round fight.

DSCHNEID Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Henderson was ranked #2 in the world before that fight. Also White has stated that he would like to have Shields in the UFC (MMAJunkie). Shields has great brazilian jiu jitsu, maybe not as good as Maia but he has great takedowns to take down a greco roman olympian. He would be good for GSP because GSP takes the fight where his oppenent is weakest, so not the ground for shields, and if he can get A.Silva down he may ride out a decision. Only one way to find out, get him in the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorco44 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 If his contract is up with SF i bet we can expect a big announcement sooner then later. He'd be a great signing for the UFC, but Silva would beat him still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BESERKER Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 you'd have to expect sf to counter any offers, he might even lure some fighters from the ufc > .... many people think he's beatable coz he lacks punching power . I think he'll be sf/ champ for a long time < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1985 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 im not saying he dont deserve to be in the ufc he is on a 16 fight win streak that is huge in a sport like mma. He just needs alot of work cause he should have been able to finish hendo easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewster Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Jake has a 60 day clause in his contract. He can not negotiate any deal with any other company prior to these 60 days expiring. These 60 days started Sunday. Strikeforce had the option to sign him to another fight, however the fight proposal had to be put forth well before the Hendo fight. That was not done. From what I have heard Jake is not happy with how he was treated by Scott and Stikeforce overall. IMO you will see Jake sign with the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCGOD1 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I hope the UFC signs him , he should currently be # 2 MW since hendo was # 2 coming into the fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Za_Xiong Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 He definitly deserves to fight in the UFC..Although he'll lose to GSP, Fitch, Kos, and probably Swick. I personally think he'll lose to Maia if he fights MW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
