Anyone see the post fight interview of Jake Shields where he called out Fitch and GSP? Said they need to unify the belts? Pffft, come on kid you may be in the top 10 but you are no where near the lvl of GSP or Fitch. Hell, Thiago Alves would knock some sense into you.

I hate to say it but if Sheilds wants to unify the belts he will have to lose it to GSP! No way they get dropped by that kid. Their is a big difference between being the king of medicrity and just the king....
