Jake Shields may look to the UFC for competition with a win over Dan Henderson

Quoteworthy:

"I’m a fighter who takes it one opponent at a time and my next fight is in Strikeforce against (Dan) Henderson. When you talk about guys like Anderson Silva and St.-Pierre, the best in the world, obviously I fight want to fight them. I want to be the best in the world and to be the best you have to beat the best. GSP’s a complete fighter standing and on the ground. But that’s why I want to fight him, that’s the challenge. I want to test my skills and see what happens. Now I’m focused on Dan Henderson for this fight and after that my contract with Strikeforce ends. I’ll talk with Strikeforce and the UFC to find out which one I will work for."

Current Strikeforce middleweight champion and undeafeted since 2004, Jake Shields comes off thirteen victories in a row and now has the hardest match of his career versus Dan Henderson on April 17. Shields has been training jiu-jitsu with friends Nick and Nate Diaz and experienced a six-week camp with Robert Drysdale in Las Vegas recently where also had the opportunity of helping Chuck Liddell as BJJ coach for the 11th season of The Ultimate Fighter. Jake is going to do the last fight of the current contract and after that will talk to both Strikeforce and UFC to decide what organization he will fight for. Is Shields a good name for UFC? Do you think he is able to beat Silva or St-Pierre --or won’t even get past Henderson?

If he beats Dan(even by decision) I will give him mad RESPECT.

Even if he loses he would be a great addition to the UFC WW division.

Because he didn't submit Mayhem, Jake has been accused of being a boring lay and pray wrestler

Laughable. As for this fight Dan has the better striking and wrestling but he can get carried away looking for the KO with his overhand right and I’m hoping that Shields can use this to his advantage and wear out Dan as he looks for the KO. Dan’s been taken down before by inferior wrestlers because he got reckless so there is a chance that it could happen again and if Jake sees an opening then he can choke out Dan quickly. Jake’s not going to fight like a moron in this one anyway, he won’t run into Hendo’s overhand right like Bisping did and he’s got better takedowns than Palhares. I’m not saying that he’ll win but don’t sleep on Jake, he’s on the roll of his career and like it or not has beaten some top competition lately at both WW and MW. He won’t be an easy fight for anyone.

He's also fought some top guys

Semtex, Lawler and Mayhem were his last 3 opponents, none of them are atrocious by any means. He’s also beaten Mach, Okami and Condit in the past as well. You don’t go on a 13 fight win streak and win titles in 2 different weight classes without having skills. I’m looking forward to seeing Jake prove a lot of people wrong in this fight by giving Hendo a tough time win or lose.

Like I said Hendo's one big weakness is Shields biggest strength.

 I think Hendo is going to win this in the first two rounds but if the fight gets into the third and past Shields will have a big advantage as Hendo’s one big weakness is his endurance and Shiels motot is endless.3-5th rounds Hendo will be at 80 to 60% were Shields will be at 99%

smart bet.

this is the same hendo that threw franklin around the cage for the entire first round, he won the first round against AS, and i havn’t seen the hendo/rampage fight, but i bet that hendo gave rampage all he could handle.
the size difference should be enough to get anyone to bet on hendo, but hendo is waaay too physical for shields. i will be shocked if shields makes it out of the first round. hendo by ko or tko.

by Conan the Barbarian on Mar 16, 2010 1:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hendo has only one major weakness and it happens to be Shields strength

 And thats endurance. If Hendo can’t finish the fight in the first two rounds he’s in trouble. I’m a huge Hendo fan and he can take out shields in the first two rounds because I don’t think Shields will be able to take down a fully charged Hendo or even be close in the 1st and second, but if Shiels is able to wear on Hendo and get this fight into the 3rd round and past the fight leans toward Shield in my opinion. It’s a tough call because Dan is so dangerous and Shields has a endless motor.

Jake is all talk

He’s already said the same thing his last contract was up with Elite XC…that he wants to fight the best yada yada yada…then signs with Elite XC and says it made the most sense with him.

Jake will probably never sign on with the UFC cause he likes being the big fish in a small pond and likes to be able to call out GSP from a safe distance cause he knows it’ll never happen as long as he is with SF.

that and ufc/Dana dont need Jake

His style isn’t exciting enough for most fans and if he’s coming off a loss I don’t think Dana will really care to have him, and it certainly won’t be a bidding war. Now if he somehow wins, Dana will do everything to get him so he can say he let go of Hendo and is a genius cause Jake beat him and now he has him after SF built him up at their cost.

If Dan beats Jake

then SF would not mind losing him at all. Lets face, Jake is not one of their big draws at all. I bet Coker reads this and thinks to himself “So what”. You know everyone in SF is now rooting for Dan big time. Jake better beat Dan, because if he loses he has not real chips to play with. The UFC won’t want to pay a guy who just lost to Hendo tons of money, and SF won’t want to pay all that much to a guy who is not a fan favorite, not a champion, and won’t fight @ 170 against Diaz . Jake is putting a lot of pressure on himself, and he does not match up well with Dan for all the reasons Ulf said earlier. In the long run, this fight is worth a whole lot of money in bargaining chips for Jake, he might want to keep his mouth shut and focus on Hendo.

You don't want to do that BJPennfan

I’ve gone four weeks without alcohol and it sucks! I also got Hendo winning but it is mma and anything can happen.

hendo is a beast with ko power, no one will accuse shields of being any of those.

Hasn’t dana said that he is not interested in Shield because is style is boring. I am pretty certain his tune will change if shields beats Hendo.

Not a Shields fan but....

I give him a ton of respect for fighting Hendo when he is really a true WW. Even if by some Serra (Miracle) he wins, I still say he goes to the UFC and fights in the WW division. I would love to see how he does against the GSP, AKA boys, Serra, Daley again…

Make the right decision Jake cause if you stay in SF that’s just a joke….a really bad joke

by Ron Burgandy on Mar 16, 2010 12:50 PM EDT reply actions  

yup - hopefully its a nice bedtime story

I am still actually mad about the UFC not giving Hendo a respectful contract. I think he would have taken down Anderson this time

Not sure why i got the warning but im not clear with the rules i guess. but it said i could post them if they are related to the thread.

Interesting

It actually makes a lot of sense for Jake to compete in the UFC. He’s definitely better than a lot of the fighters in WW and an interesting matchup with George.

by daftshadow on Mar 16, 2010 2:29 PM EDT reply actions  

I used to like Bisping till he kept running his mouth leading up to the Hendo fight, my favourite knockout of the year. Haven’t got a problem with Jake Shields, except he looks like he should still be at school, Hendo again by BIG knockout, heres praying

should step up and sign with the UFC.

by Muscle-Dolphin on Mar 16, 2010 5:48 PM EDT reply actions  

I'm pretty sure that's what he wants.

He wants good money and if he beats Hendo, Dana is gonna let him have some.

But he must avoid this:

I actually think Jake, Diaz, Melendez, Fedor, etc etc….should all stay in Strikeforce. Without them Strikeforce would have no one…then no Strikeforce…without strikeforce no comp…to have other stars in other prgs are great…

so they just keep fighting each other?

opps half of them are buddies and will not fight. Good luck SF
