Jake Shields is an American mixed martial artist, who competed for the majority of his career at Welterweight, though he competed as a Middleweight while under contract with Strikeforce. He is the Rumble on the Rock Welterweight Tournament Champion, the first and last EliteXC Welterweight Champion, the former Shooto World Middleweight Champion, and former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion. He has trained extensively with Cesar Gracie, David Terrell, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz and coaches a team of MMA fighters including top ranked Lightweight Gilbert Melendez.

When EliteXC went under, the promotions assets were acquired by Strikeforce, including Shields’ contract. After earning the promotion’s Middleweight title and defending it successfully against Dan Henderson, the promotion released Shields from his last few contractual obligations so that he could sign with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
