Should the UFC sign Jake Shields

exactly. The UFC can't lose if they sign him.

UFC looking pretty smart not resigning Hendo. Although he appears to be a good guy, he looks like he is on the downside.

They'll sign him if for no other reason to stick it to strikeforce.

Absolutely yes...why wouldn't they try & sign an obvious top 5 threat in both WW & MW??

Coker could say the same thing about hendo and UFC.

I dont think he could make WW any more he's huge now compared to what he was 3 years ago

It should also be noted that Shields says his contract is up while Coker says they have the right to exercise one more fight.

One more fight is not that big a deal

Yes! GSP needs to be challenged on the ground and I dont wanna see rematches! unfortunately I read that the winner of kos/daley will coach the next tuf against him and then they will fight which I really really hope is not true!

I want to see Matt vs GSP. They would be great coaches on the show.

Man, don't get me wrong, I'm a big GSP fan...but I don't think I'd want to tune in to TUF every week to listen to him talk...his accent is pretty painful. Not so bad in small doses.
