Hmmm, Paul Daley a guy that was thoroughly dominated by Jake Shields smashed him worse than anyone

And look what it got him?

Seems like a lose lose for Shields and it certainly doesn’t “set him up” for an instant title shot in my mind.

Kampmann just beat Paulo Thiago though.

That was a huge win.

yea kampmann’s stock is much higher atm after soundly beating thiago, compared to when he went into the daley fight

Guess he hasn’t heard what Dana said.

I give this dude his props.

Nobody in the UFC dominated Dan Henderson like that except the MW champion.

Alves/Fitch

funny thiago would only need to win 1 fight since loss to get another title shot lol

by P86 on Aug 5, 2010 8:17 PM EDT reply actions

If Fitch wins the fight, he will probably get the shot. Although, if Kos pulls off the upset, he might not take it.

If Alves wins that fight, I think he gets put on the back burner regardless of what Dana said today.

There is still a good chance that Jake gets the next shot.

sonnen would absolutely murder this guy..he would massacre shields

just sayin

the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...

I do wonder how Shields would do against Koscheck, Fitch, or Alves at Welterweight. In Middleweight, besides Sonnen, I wonder how Shields would do against Maia or Jacare.

And the strange BE man-crush on Jake Shields continues. You realize his title shot is a year away, at least, right? Therefore, you arent contractually obligated to mention him at least once a day?
