ANAHEIM, Calif. – Fighting for the first time in the Ultimate Fighting
Championship, former Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields may not have exactly thrilled the Honda Center
crowd at Saturday night’s UFC 121 event, but he did enough according to
UFC president Dana White.

The UFC boss had suggested prior to Shields’ win over Martin Kampmann that a victory would “probably” mean a title shot
against the winner of December’s Georges St-Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck
matchup.

Following the win, White confirmed that probable contest is now a certainty.
