Shields on cancelled WSOF title fight: 'They're playing bullsh-t little games'

Jake Shields explains the contract dispute that forced him out of an upcoming title fight with Jon Fitch at WSOF 30.

Jake Shields was pulled from a WSOF 30 welterweight title fight against fellow UFC veteran Jon Fitch, as announced by WSOF President Ray Sefo earlier this week. Sefo says Shields informed them that "he does not intend to honor the terms of his existing contract," and declined to sign the bout agreement.

However, Shields has a different story to tell.

"They're playing bullsh-t little games with me," Shields told MMAFighting.
