Jake Shields: Cung Le showed his true colors by ducking me

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:19:53 -0500

Props: Tapology.com Quoteworthy: "I’m a little frustrated. I thought [Cung and I] were friends, but I kind of lost respect for him when he decided not to fight me and hand picked his [next] opponent.

We have trained together and we both know what would happen, so I guess he would just prefer to give up his bel...

Strikeforce postfight: Middleweight champ Shields is out of place

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:40:30 -0500

Jake Shields did a nice of stepping up the last two times out when Scott Coker and Strikeforce needed a solid name fighter on two of its most recent card.
