White “very confident” Shields will be in UFC, though not as “TUF 12” coach

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – While Saturday night’s “Aldo vs. Faber” event was
filled with several memorable moments, one of those lasting images was
that of Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields sitting cageside
with UFC president Dana White.

The picture was pasted on the in-arena screens for all to see, and the
image was also featured on the evening’s pay-per-view broadcast.

While White mouthed the words, “He’s mine,” the UFC exec would later
wryly claim he was just watching some fights with the Strikeforce
employee. Nevertheless, White’s intentions with Shields are certainly
clear.
