UFC president Dana White can finally stop having to answer questions about signing Jake Shields. The former Strikeforce middleweight champion is UFC bound, says the official website of Shields’ Cesar Gracie camp.
“Jake’s opponent is one of the UFC’s top contenders and will be announced shortly,” GracieFighter.com stated.
According to SI‘s Josh Gross, the contract isn’t finalized, but the money is agreed to. Gross expects the signing to become official most likely next week.
Shields will move down to the division where he spent the majority of his career, 170 pounds.
