Strikeforce middlweight champion Jake Shields is “definitely coming to the UFC,” according to Dana White. The UFC president says Strikeforce have shown their champion a lack of respect recently and that this will prompt him to jump ship.
“Jake Shields is definitely going to leave Strikeforce, and he’s definitely coming to the UFC… They never respected Jake Shields, who is their champion. They didn’t even have him in their commercials for the fight. Then the fight happens and Jake Shields wins,” White told All Headline News.
White also accused Strikeforce of backing Henderson to win the fight and thus alienating Shields (although it must be borne in mind that Shields was openly talking about moving to the UFC prior to last week’s event).
