Shields: I’m going to take Palhares’s knee out
Jake Shields on Rousimar Plahares: “I’m going to go out there and I’m going to take his knee out. I’m not scared of him and I’m going to bring it to him.”
It’s not likely an opponent will slam Rampage and knock him out. It’s not likely that someone will use superior cardio to grind Cain Velasquez into submission.
And it doesn’t seem likely, but after beating Brian Foster in the main event of WSoF 17, Jake Shields promised to leg lock WSoF welterweight champion Rousimar Palhares.
“He’s holding my belt for me,” said Shields said after the win, as transcribed by Nate Wilcox for BE. “I’m going to go out there and whip his ass. He’s a dirty fighter breaking everyone’s legs and ankles. I’m going to go out there and I’m going to take his knee out. I’m not scared of him and I’m going to bring it to him.”
Shields also reflected on the fight Friday night.
“It was great,” he said. “Anytime you end a fight in the first round you’re happy. I started a little sloppy in the first minute so I’m not happy about that. I’m a perfectionist. I’m a little bummed about the first minute, but overall it went good, so no complaints.”
Who do you think takes a Shields vs. Palhares fight? And how??!?
