PrintI will win by knockout for sure... Alves Vs Hughes style!
I’m not going to match him on the floor, I will knock him out standing - or maybe by ground and pound.
Paul "Semtex" Daley talking to Fighters Only about his upcoming title shot against Jake Shields.
I’d like to take him down and submit him. I’m definitely not going to try and knock him out, but anything’s possible. I’m going to throw some punches.
Jake Shields talking to MMA Weekly about the Daley matchup.
He also had this to say about Shinya Aoki:
I guess they were trying to get Aoki, but he’s got no bushido. I don’t think Aoki wants to fight me. He’s got no warrior spirit. He’s from Japan, who’d have thought?

I think he's gone a bit over the top
For one thing, the Japanese promotions are not known for sharing their top Japanese stars with stateside promotions. Plus Aoki has moved down in weight class. I don’t really have any interest in seeing Aoki fight welterweights, especially big ones like Shields.
I don’t blame Aoki for not wanting a fight with Shields, but I have felt the same way about his lack of “bushido” for some time.
Don’t EXC and DREAM have some kind of unwritten talent sharing agreement? Diaz was gonna go over there to fight Mach Sakurai for the title.

that's a good point
about the talent swap deal, but I think it went south when EliteXC pulled Diaz off the DREAM card for their Showtime bout.
Elaborate about Aoki’s lack of Bushido — he’s fought quite the dangerous bunch this year.
OK JAKE !!!!
Come on there Jake I really don’t like Aoki but to say he is afraid of you is just stupid he just got done fighting in a span of 5 months Gesias Cavalcante twice,Katsuhiko Nagata,Caol Uno, and Joachim Hansen thats a hall of alot better and tuffer line up then what you have fought in the last 5 months.Not to mention you are a whole weight class above him.
