Strikeforce 185-pound champion Jake Shields predicts an “everywhere” fight

“It’s really hard to predict where this fight’s going to be,” Jake
Shields, Strikeforce middleweight champion, says of
his meeting Saturday with top-tier import Dan Henderson at “Strikeforce: Nashville.”

To most observers, the match-up is grappler vs. grappler at heart:
Henderson’s wrestling against Shields’ jiu-jitsu wizardry. The great
equalizer is Henderson’s powerful right hand.

“I know Henderson’s got good power but I’m not the easiest guy to hit,”
Shields counters.
