Jake Shields to the UFC
Jake Sheilds recently did an interview with ADCombat.com which revealed that he was interested in possibly going to the UFC.
KM: Your contract status?
JS: This is the last fight on my contract. They offered some more fights but I'm letting my manager handle that.
KM: Who is your manager?
JS: Right now my Dad is actually my manager.
KM: What do you think of 2008?
JS: I want to go out there and fight the best. I'm really looking at UFC over Elite because that is where a lot of top guys are. In the next few weeks I'll probably make my decision on where I'm going to be signing.
KM: Should we say you are 'in talks now' or 'have talked to' UFC?
JS: Have been in the past. I'm sure we're going to talk to them in the next week before we sign anything with Elite. I'm ready to get in there with the top guys. With the Rumble on the Rock tournament and EliteXC and my last four or five fights have been top come and have been fast, easy fights. I think it definitely shows I belong there.
With only one fight left on his contract and the interest he is showing in the UFC this could possibly be a big blow to EliteXC. Jake Shields is one of the top talents right now in the EliteXC but I would definately like to see him in the UFC. The UFC's welterweight division is stacked right now and would definately be the best place for him to test his meddle. Shields is a Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu trained fighter and also trains with Former UFC fighter and EliteXC fighter Nick Diaz.
Shields reminds me a lot of John Fitch. Shields usually comes into the fight as a bigger 170 lber. He's got good wrestling, and he's slick wotj jos Jiu Jitsu. I'd definately like to see him take on some of the talent in the UFC's welterweight division.
