Jake Shields has been fighting professionally for more than 10 years. He's an outstanding wrestler with incredible submissions skills. Although Shields has never fought in the UFC he is one of the best MMA fighters in the world, and his bout with Dan Henderson will be an indication of just how good/great he really is.

Jake Shields has been a bettor's dream for several years- a reliable, stress free favorite. Shields' backers have been rewarded with profitable wins over Lawlor, Mayhem, Condit, and Daley all at reasonable prices. In most fights Shields bulls his opponent into the fence, then manages a takedown. Once he has a dominant position, Shields' submission game is in play. He's faced plenty of quality opponents, yet no-one has been able to create much offense against him.

Shields will be Chuck Liddell's wrestling coach for TUF 11, he's also appeared on MTV's Bully Beatdown. Jake currently owns Jake Shields' Gracie Fighter Berkeley Academy and he's producing an MMA documentary.
