He has trained extensively with Fairtex SF and Cesar Gracie and is a member of the "Skrap Pack," which includes fellow Cesar Gracie studentsDave Terrell,Nick Diaz,Nate Diaz,andGilbert Melendez.After his loss toAkira Kikuchi,he won 15 consecutive fights over six years until his loss toUFC Welterweight ChampionGeorges St-Pierre.He describes his style as "American Jiu-Jitsu."[3]

Early life

Shields was raised nearMountain Ranch, California,in theSierra Nevada.He was home schooled up to junior high. He and his two older brothers grew up at the end of a dirt road on the rim of the Jesus Maria Canyon. Their nearest friends were a 45-minute hike down one side of the canyon and up the other. Their activities included mountain biking,wild caving,snowboarding, clearing brush, bucking firewood, climbing mountains, exploring the high country, andwrestling.[citation needed]

Shields beganamateur wrestlingat age nine. He has competed in over 601folkstyle,freestyle,andsubmission wrestlingmatches. Shields was a four-year varsity wrestler and state qualifier at Calaveras High School, finished 2nd place at theAmateur Athletic UnionNational Freestyle Championships, qualified for U.S. / FILA Nationals & World Team Trials in both the junior & university men's divisions. He is also a two-time junior college All-American wrestler fromCuesta College,placing 4th in the California JC state tournament in the 177-pound (80 kg) weight class in 1997 and 3rd in the 197-pound (89 kg) weight class a year later. In September 1999, Shields began his MMA training by joiningChuck Liddell's SLO Kickboxing Academy. Within a few weeks he fought his first fight, filling in for an injured teammate at 185 pounds (84 kg). Shields fought five fights at 185 lbs "for fun, to stay in shape and learn some self defense". In 2001, Shields decided he wanted to make a career of mixed martial arts and began fighting at his natural weight of 170 pounds (77 kg).[citation needed]

In the summer of 2001, Shields received a wrestling scholarship toSan Francisco State University.At that time he began training with the Cesar Gracie Fight Team. He is a three-time Grapplers Quest Advance Champion, Pan American Championships Jiu Jitsu Champion, Pan Am Open Advance Submission Champion, Gracie Open Superfight Champion and finished 3rd place at theADCC Submission Fighting World Championshipin 2005. His victory at the Pan American Championships (which requires wearing a uniform) as a purple belt is notable because Jake Shields claims he has trained "about four hours with thegiin [his] life, "[4]and the Pan Americans is one of the largest Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitions in the world. He continued to improve on thekickboxingskills he picked up with Chuck Liddell, by cross-training with the professionalMuay Thaikickboxing team at the Fairtex Combat Academy, training with Muay Thai ChampionsJongsanan Fairtexand Alex Gong. He was awarded the rank of black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu by Cesar Gracie in February 2007.

Shields was the head instructor of BJJ (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) and MMA at the Fairtex-Gracie affiliate in San Francisco from March 2002 until April 2008.

Shields has developed a style of fighting called "American Jiu-Jitsu," which he has tattooed on his forearm.[4]Shields's American Jiu-Jitsu is a no-gistyle of grappling for MMA and self-defense is a complete combat art that combines the relaxed and ready position and submission techniques of Brazilian jiu-jitsu with the explosivetakedowns,throwsandtransitionsof wrestling.

Mixed martial arts

Shields is best known for his 15-fight winning streak, finishing eight of his eleven opponents before being defeated by UFC welterweight championGeorges St-Pierrein a hard-fought five round battle atUFC 129.Shields has captured theShootoWorld Mixed Martial Arts Championship and theRumble on the Rock World Championship.He submittedNick Thompsonvia guillotine choke in a bout for theElite XCWelterweight Championship.

AtStrikeforce: Lawler vs. Shieldshe fought EliteXC's lastmiddleweightchampion and former two-time ICON Sport middleweight champion at a catchweight of 182 pounds (83 kg). Lawler took the center of the cage and looked comfortable on his feet. Robbie Lawler said in the post fight interview, "His striking was good. He threw a lot of kicks. He worked. He threw hands and wasn't shying away from standup, that's for sure." Two minutes into the first round, Shields pounced and secured a guillotine choke to finish his opponent via submission at 2:02 of the first round.[5]

AtStrikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogershe foughtJason 'Mayhem' Millerfor the vacantStrikeforce Middleweight ChampionshipafterCung Lestepped down as champion to pursue his acting career. Shields defeated Miller via unanimous decision (48–47, 49–46, and 49–46).

Shields successfully defended his title, defeating former Pride World Welterweight and Pride Middleweight ChampionDan Hendersonvia unanimous decision on April 17, 2010, atStrikeforce: Nashville.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Shields was spotted and shown on camera next to UFC President Dana White at theWEC 48PPV. With Dana White saying, "He's mine!" and his arm around Shields, this fueled rumors of Shields signing with the UFC. Jake Shields stated in an interview that it was tough for Strikeforce to provide him with exciting fights and this would be a key aspect in his decision to stay or leave. Dana White also stated in this interview he would be willing to pay huge sums to strip away one of Strikeforce's champions.[7]This has further fueled speculation that Shields would leave Strikeforce for the UFC.

On June 30, Strikeforce released Shields from the organization during his contract renegotiation period. Shields then entered into talks with theUFC,[8]with his manager and father, Jack Shields, stating that his son was eager to fight against top UFC fighters, such asAnderson Silva.[9]In July 2010, it was reported that Shields was close to signing a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship to compete in the promotion's Welterweight division.[10]

Shields made his UFC debut againstMartin Kampmannon October 23, 2010, atUFC 121.[11]Prior to Shields's UFC debut, Dana White stated that, if Shields defeatedMartin Kampmann,he was most likely next in line for an opportunity to compete for theUFC Welterweight Championship.[12]After Shields defeated Kampmann via split decision, White confirmed that Shields would receive a title shot against the winner of theGeorges St-Pierrevs.Josh Koscheckfight atUFC 124.[13]

Georges St-Pierre won hisUFC 124bout againstJosh Koscheck.Shields fought St-Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Championship on April 30, 2011, atUFC 129in Toronto. Shields lost via unanimous decision.[14]This was Shields's first loss in over 6 years.

Shields facedJake Ellenbergeron September 17, 2011, atUFC Fight Night 25,losing via first-round TKO.[15]This was the first time Shields has been finished in over ten years.

Shields facedYoshihiro Akiyamaon February 26, 2012, atUFC 144,winning via unanimous decision.[16]

Shields returned to the middleweight division and facedEd Hermanon August 11, 2012, atUFC 150.[17]He won the bout via unanimous decision. However, on October 12, 2012, it was announced that Jake Shields had failed his drug test at UFC 150 and he was subsequently fined and suspended.[18]The result of the fight was overturned to a No Contest.[19]In January 2015 Shields said the failed test was due to a banned diuretic.[20]

Shields facedTyron Woodleyin a welterweight bout on June 15, 2013, atUFC 161.[21]The bout was contested on the feet for nearly its entirety in a largely uneventful fight where neither fighter was able to deliver any significant offense. Shields defeated Woodley via split decision.[22]

Shields next facedDemian Maiaon October 9, 2013, atUFC Fight Night 29.[23]As expected, the contest between the two decorated jiu jitsu practitioners took place mostly on the ground, and Shields won via split decision.[24]

Shields foughtHéctor Lombardon March 15, 2014, atUFC 171.Shields lost the fight via unanimous decision.

On April 6, 2014, it was announced that Shields was released from the promotion.[25]

After his release from the UFC, the outspoken and often candid president of the organization, Dana White, had this to say about Shields:

"We look at everything. Everything. Money has something to do with it. I'd be lying if I said it didn't. But that wasn't the only reason or the main reason. It was a part of the piece of the puzzle as we were doing our evaluation of him. Mixed martial arts is a young man's game. I like Jake Shields a lot. But let's be honest here: Where was he going in this [welterweight] division of animals we have? He's on the downswing, and he's never going to be the guy. His stand-up never improved. He hasn't really shown anything in his last couple of fights to make you go, 'Holy [expletive].' Right now, at this point, he's just another guy."[26]

World Series of Fighting

In April 2014, Shields signed a multi-fight deal with theWorld Series of Fighting.[27]Shields was expected to compete atWSOF 11on July 5, 2014, againstJon Fitch.However, Shields was forced out of the bout due to a shoulder injury.[28]

In his second fight for the promotion, Shields facedBrian Fosterin the main event at WSOF 17 on January 17, 2015. He again won the fight via submission in the first round.

Shields facedRousimar Palhareson August 1, 2015, atWSOF 22.[30]He lost the fight by submission due to a kimura, marking his first loss by submission. This wasn't without controversy as Palhares repeatedlyeye gougedShields after several warnings from the ref, Palhares also held onto the submission well after Shields had tapped.[31]In response, Shields punched Palhares in the face after the fight was over, and attempted a kick which the referee blocked. Both Shields and Palhares were temporarily suspended by theNSACafter the fight.

Shields was lined up to face Jon Fitch for the vacant WSOF welterweight championship atWSOF 30on April 1, 2016. Though they have never competed together in an MMA contest, Shields holds a victory over Fitch in a submission grappling match. However, the match was later canceled due to contract issues between Shields and the company.

On September 13, 2016, it was announced that Shields would challenge for theWSOF Welterweight ChampionshipagainstJon Fitchon November 12, 2016, atWSOF 34.[32]On October 17, 2016, it was announced that the fight was then rescheduled to take place on December 31, 2016, in the co-main event.[33]Shields lost the fight by unanimous decision.

This would include doctors, therapists, teachers, guidance counselors, etc
