Jake Shields on Beating Kampmann, UFC Title Shot, Facing GSP and More

Filed under: , ,

After over a decade winning titles around the world, Jake Shields finally made a trip down the aisle to the octagon at last Saturday night's UFC 121. Squaring off against the underrated Martin Kampmann, Shields held off a major scare before prevailing via split decision in the night's co-main event.

With the win, Shields is likely to finally get a crack at UFC gold when he faces the winner of December's Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck welterweight title match in 2011.

Shields spoke to MMA Fighting about the victory, weight issues and back problems, the possibility of bringing his Cesar Gracie teammates to UFC , and the prospect of facing St. Pierre on enemy territory.
