Jake Shields is currently signed with World Series Of Fighting – an mma promotion that’s going through a transition. They decided to rebrand as a league and give monthly salaries to fighters.
While he awaits to see where he stands with the new organization Shields is focusing on the Submission Underground 4 match he has going against Dillon Danis.
Dillon Danis found himself in some hot water after sharing moments from his water throwing moments from the Diaz vs McGregor press conference – a situation Shields was involved with as well.
When asked to comment on Danis’ skills, Shields said:
“I mean he’s a great opponent, he’s really skilled. You know he might be a little pr*ck and mouthy and cocky but the guy … I’m not gonna knock his skills by any means. He’s legit, he’s one of the best in the world and it’s exciting to fight him. “
When further prompted Shields commented:
“It’s kind of a half act he’s a little Conor boy having a rivalry with Conor and then I’m with Renzo’s so they have a little rivalry going. Of course there’s a little bit of bad blood between the two of us but overall I don’t think he’s that bad of a guy. “
When asked to comment on Danis’ expulsion from Marcelo Garcia gym and on whether he has the backing of the grappling community Shields responded:
“A little bit, I think some guys like Dillon but overall I don’t think he’s one of the more liked guys.”
Shields continued
… kicked off from Marcelo’s which I have no idea what happened with that but Marcelo is one of the nicest guys I’ve met so it must’ve done something to make him kicked off the team.”
Sloth Jiu-Jitsu: you can be slow and unathletic and still kick butt in Jiu-Jitsu.
