White says “we’d love to take” Shields, plays coy regarding Emelianenko

BROOMFIELD, Colo. – While the UFC will remain firmly in the MMA
spotlight for the next 10 days with two more shows on the horizon, that
focus will briefly shift in April for Strikeforce’s second-ever
CBS-broadcast event.

Headlining the April 17 “Strikeforce: Nashville” card is Strikeforce
middleweight champ Jake Shields as he meets former UFC star Dan
Henderson.

Following Sunday night’s post-UFC on Versus 1 press conference, UFC
president Dana White said he’s not very fond of the matchup, but he is
keeping an eye on Shields.
