GREAT OPTIONS
Shields versus GSPor
Shields versus Anderson Silva
FORGET ABOUT ANY MATCHES AGAINST CONTENDERS. Give him the Dan Henderson treatment and treat him like a respected champion coming into the organization.

you speak the truth,
But seriously Anderson? Do you not like Jake Shields or something?

Man
I dunno…I love Jake Shields…and he continues to prove me wrong…but I’d have to give him one fight in the UFC before giving him a title shot….I’d like to see him fight Fitch or Koscheck first….my prayer would be that he subbed Fitch in the first round…

Come on, give Shields some credit. I thought he was being served up for legal murder against Henderson and made the fight go his way at his pace AFTER being blasted in the first round.

How about they phase him in to the organization with that Ultimate Fighter garbage coaching opposite GSP?
It’s decent exposure at least.
"I don't care, hit him with your groin!"
ehh
Shields has no personality that I’m aware of….maybe GSP could carry the show though.

i’m a big time Shields hater for his smothering style we saw against Mayhem and Hendo…..but it will provide some fresh air/match ups in the midst of the AKA won’t fight one another + Hardy/Daley + GSP division…………i guess.
Gatti. Dekkers. Pele. Aoki. Kang. Vanderlei. Basillio. Harry Greb.

This isn't news because it comes from Dana White.
Promoter A hates Promotion B. He talks about Promotion B. Says a fighter is coming to his company when I’m pretty sure preliminary discussions haven’t even started. WHY DO PEOPLE LISTEN TO DANA WHITE ABOUT THIS STUFF?
Oh
I know discussions haven’t started…but Shields ain’t staying with SF…lol.

But is he serious
Or is he just stirring up trouble between Strikeforce and Shields? Showing interest so as to force Strikeforce to pay Shields more, hurting them financially?

Could be
but they ain’t gonna do it…why would they overpay a champion that wants to leave…and has zero drawing power…oh wait…they have done some dumb stuff in the past….lol.

Did Jake say he wants to leave or did Dana say Jake wants to leave?
I thought I heard Jake say he’s keeping his options open. I haven’t followed it closely lately though…so I’ll defer to the Kelvin on the inside.

Jake saying he is keeping his options open is business talk…
