Strikeforce on Wednesday released its middleweight champion, Jake
Shields, which confirmed the fighter’s long-expected exodus from the
promotion.

The man who’s long coveted his services, UFC president Dana White, today
told MMAjunkie.com he sees no reason why he can’t
ink Shields “quickly.”

If a UFC deal is done, Shields’ manager said the fighter wants to fight
“a couple” of fights at middleweight, then drop to welterweight. White
doesn’t necessarily agree.
