Shields targets fights with Anderson and GSP

Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields has admitted he would be keen to fight UFC stars Anderson Silva and Georges St Pierre.

Shields is keen to prove that he is the best fighter in the world.

“I’m a fighter who takes it one opponent at a time and my next fight is in StrikeForce against Henderson. When you talk about guys like Anderson Silva and St.-Pierre, the best in the world, obviously I want to fight them. I want to be the best in the world and to be the best you have to beat the best,” he told Graciefighter.

“In my opinion both the UFC and StrikeForce are high-level events. They are two first-rate MMA shows. They’re really great for fighters and fans. There’s no reason for there to only be one main MMA event worldwide. The UFC has been in the market longer and thus has more elite fighters, but StrikeForce has lots of talented fighters and some are top 10 in the world.”
