When recently asked about the brawl with Jason “Mayhem” Miller, the UFC 129 Welterweight title-shot contender, Jake Shields explained:
*[Note: We are quoting without all the “you know”s]
“It was one of those things, yeah I probably shouldn’t have done it, but really if the exact same thing happened again… Now I probably wouldn’t do it. But looking back, if it had never happened and it happened again, yeah I probably would do the same thing. The guy came in, cut me off, it was kind of our natural reaction to do that. We’re fighters that’s what we do. We’re criticized a lot for that. But hey it’s fighting. It’s not baseball or something.”
Um… Guess he has a point. Though I swear I’ve seen more brawls in baseball than any other sport. Shields also talks Martin Kampmann and weight cutting. Watch below:
