Jake Shields has yet to enter the UFC octagon for the first time, but less than two weeks from his debut, UFC president Dana White has added an extra incentive for him to win.
According to White, Shields may well be the No. 1 contender in waiting.
“If Jake Shields wins against Martin Kampmann, it’ll probably be him next,” White said when asked about the next man in line to compete for the welterweight title after the scheduled Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck title fight in December.
