Strikeforce middleweight champion, Jake Shields may be leaving the organization. According to a report from the American website 5thround, the fighter, currently without a contract, could be on his way to the UFC.
According to the article, Strikeforce leaders launched Dan Henderson as the last fight of Shields' contract, betting on the challenger's victory, thus devaluing Jake's contractual value. However, what we saw was the surprising victory of the current champion and with no fight left to do with Strikeforce, rumors of his move to Ultimate are increasing, as he was also one of the jiu-jitsu coaches of the team led by Chuck Lidell in the TUF-11.
