Jake Shields, who spends training time at Cesar Gracie's gym, comments on Jose Canseco's involvement there:

"I heard he was out there with Cesar, but personally I’m not a big fan of his. I don’t want to knock anything that Cesar and my camp has done, but I don’t really want to have anything to do with Jose," Shields told MMAWeekly Radio.

"I don’t really want to help the guy. I haven’t met the guy yet, but seeing his track record, I don’t really want to have anything to do with him," said the 31-year-old fighter. "He’s not someone I want in my life. I don’t want to help a guy out who has constantly screwed everyone over who has been close to him."

"I like Hershel Walker and I’d like to see Hershel kick his (expletive), but if he was fighting under my team that would make me feel a little weird, so I don’t know how I feel about that," said Shields.

"Being a friend and fan of Hershel and having a guy that I think is kind of a scumbag coming to my gym... I guess that’s Cesar’s decision. I don’t want to knock his decision, but I certainly wouldn’t let him come into my gym."

U go Jake

Seems Jake has a great head on his shoulders. Jose is bad news. Why would anyone want to have anything to do with a pay day seeking, freak show, snitch?

Money. Publicity.

This is the quote that sums it up for me:

“He’s not someone I want in my life. I don’t want to help a guy out who has constantly screwed everyone over who has been close to him.”

Cesar Gracie and everyone in that camp better be prepared to be mentioned in the next Jose Canseco book.

Just BE.
