MMA Quick Quote: Jake Shields not boarding the Jose Canseco War Wagon

Large_jose_canseco_mma_medium

"I don’t want to knock anything that Cesar and my camp has done, but I don’t really want to have anything to do with Jose ... He’s not someone I want in my life. I don’t want to help a guy out who has constantly screwed everyone over who has been close to him. I like Hershel Walker and I’d like to see Hershel kick his (expletive), but if he was fighting under my team that would make me feel a little weird, so I don’t know how I feel about that. Being a friend and fan of Hershel and having a guy that I think is kind of a scumbag coming to my gym ... I guess that’s Cesar’s decision. I don’t want to knock his decision, but I certainly wouldn’t let him come into my gym."

Strikeforce Middleweight Champion and one of Cesar Gracie's most accomplished students, Jake Shields, tells MMAWeekly that he doesn't approve of his mentor's decision to allow the steroid stool-pigeon into their gym to learn mixed martial arts for what seems like a means to a quick Jose payday. Canseco has been lobbying hard for a Herschel Walker fight despite Scott Coker promising that Strikeforce wasn't in the Jose Canseco business -- but is there a market for him somewhere else?

I agree with Jakes opinion.

Canseco is a douche in general.

Same here

Canseco is a POS and it’s only time before the Cesar Cracie’s camp sees it.

Canseco

The guy that shows up uninvited to the party and drinks all the beer when he showed up empty handed. Just a pest!

shields needs to quit saying shit like this...

…cause it makes me feel really uncomfortable when i agree with him

my dream fight would have to be Brock Lesnar vs Jake Shields...and before the fight theres a video of jake slapping brock's wife...then id like to see shields try to gay porn a win over brock using his butt sex merry-go-round tactics...the massacre that would take place would be the greatest thing ever televised...every limb jake has would look like corey hill's leg...god i hate jake shields

by HellaHectic on Mar 6, 2010 7:23 PM EST up reply actions  

gotta love jake shields

canseco is a joke. will always be a joke. jake is in the right on this one.

by dkiller on Mar 6, 2010 3:10 PM EST reply actions  

Yes i agree

but as much a joke as canfakeco is SF is terrible the only good fighter in their HW div is fedor so as bad as canfakeco is he still b a champ n strikfarce.

by titonash23 on Mar 6, 2010 4:12 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

I would rather

james toney fight that this clown anyday…..and its funny 2 me how ppl take shots at dana & the ufc 4 bringing toney n but strikfarce!!!!. has this crap.

by titonash23 on Mar 6, 2010 5:08 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

I think its the other way around

all of the ufc people are like “no freakshows”, then dana gets kimbo and toney. if toney was in strikeforce dana would be talking shit about him and saying he is a freakshow.

by Bill Maher on Mar 6, 2010 6:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Wrong..

bcause at least toney is a fighter who ppl would pay 2 c & the same thing goes 4 kimbo & the fact that tuf 10 was high n ratings is proof of that. And strikfarce is really hurting themselves bcause the fact that they have 2 resort 2 bringing in h.walker & jose canfakeco just shows how pathetic they really r. and they will never b on the ufc’s level.

by titonash23 on Mar 6, 2010 7:11 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

kimbo walker jose and toney would all fall into the freak show category

justify and of the 4 however you want but the fact remains if you’re discussing it, its sorta a freakshow. ufc fan boys bash sf and vice versa. who cares? let em all fight and dont watch the ones you dont like.

who u calling a troll ass clown

by titonash23 on Mar 6, 2010 11:54 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I bash SF bcause

they deserve it they suck ppl may get mad at me 4 sayin it but u being mad at going 2 stop it from being the truth. I mean hell fucking marvin eastman & pete sell could go 2 strikfarce and become champs.

by titonash23 on Mar 7, 2010 12:02 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

Jake is 100% right about Jose,

he would do anything for money including throwing you under the bus. As sad as this whole Hershel/Jose thing is in MMA I would think Hershel would kick his ass. That said I wont be watching so fill your boots boys!!!!!!

by HEELHOOK on Mar 7, 2010 11:00 AM EST reply actions  

Spot on from Shields

I was appalled to hear that Jose Canseco had been invited to train at Cesar Gracie’s, good for Jake for calling this guy out for being a scumbag. The last thing that him and El Nino need before their career defining title defences against Hendo and Aoki is to have their time wasted by a roid head snitch baseball hack looking for a quick payday in a sport that he has no right in being associated with.

"Not a lot of professional sports down here (in Australia)"
"We just had our best season (of TUF) last season and it was season 10"
"Nogueira is probabaly the best HW of all time"

Dana White, proving that he's clueless about Australian sports, has never heard of Fedor and is still trying to hype up TUF 10.

by David W-S on Mar 7, 2010 1:26 PM EST reply actions  

I agree 100%

but I dont just blame gracie i put most of the blame on that damned 2nd rate strikfarce 4 premoting this. 4 doing this do they no they r hurting themselves. and it bothers the hell out of me that SF would even consider this.

by titonash23 on Mar 7, 2010 2:09 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

POS

Canseco is such a douche bag. Atleast we will be able to see him get bombed on from time to time. Still, I have no idea why C.G would let him in the gym. The Diaz brothers are pretty trashy but the talent and drive makes up for it. FYI, I have lived in Stockton before so they are just a true product of their environment. Glad to see them make an honest living

by drewpowers on Mar 7, 2010 3:02 PM EST reply actions  

I Like Jose Canseco

He was the first baseball player to tell the truth about steroids. What did he do wrong, rat out the baseball scumbugs who lied and cheated and ruined baseball?

by Bullybeater on Mar 7, 2010 5:49 PM EST reply actions  

Dont even try

2 make this guy out 2 b some hero. ur crazy if u think canfakeco ratted on the so-called cheats & liars 2 protect the integrity of the game. he did it 2 make money & lets not 4get he blakmailed half the guys he named n his book.and while where giving this clown credit 4 ratting out cheaters & liars think about this would he have ratted them if they gave n 2 him demands. canfakeco is the worst kind of scum & how the hell is guys like shields & the diaz brothers going 2 trust that guy i mean hell he would sell out his own mom 2 make a quick buck.
