GracieFighter.com makes it official
Jake Shields will be debuting at the 170lbs in the UFC. After careful consideration and consulting with UFC representatives it was determined Jake would be finally going back to his original fighting weight. Jake’s opponent is one of the UFC’s top contenders and will be announced shortly.
Currently on a 14-fight win streak, Shields has spent the majority of his career at welterweight, but hasn’t competed at 170 since October 2008, when he defeated Paul Daley by second-round armbar in an EliteXC title defense. Since then, he’s gone 3-0 as a middleweight in Strikeforce, scoring wins over Robbie Lawler, Jason Miller, and Dan Henderson.

I would watch the paulo thiago fight I think that would be a good match up…but in the other article on mmamadhouse they said he was supposed to fight kampmann
