UFC ‘would love’ to sign Shields

UFC president Dana White confirmed that he ‘would love’ to sign Strikeforce fighter Jake Shields, at yesterday’s post-UFC on Versus press conference.

Shields’ contract with Strikeforce expires on April 17th and the UFC are planning a bidding ware for the talented fighter.

“He’s going to get paid because what’s going to happen is we would love to take him from there, and I’m sure they’d love him to stick around. I will help drive that f**cking number right up through the roof and let the Showtime boys pay him a lot of money so that Jake can stick it right up their ass,” White laughed.

“[Shields will be like] ‘I just choked out Dan Henderson, and now you [guys] are going to pay me for trying to stick it up my ass. I’m going to stick it up yours.”
