Jake Shields Makes UFC Debut With Mean Meatless Attitude
Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 14th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.
Jake Shields may break the rules by being one of the few beginners to get a chance at the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s welterweight title next year. The former Strikeforce Middleweight champion is expected to face off with Martin Kampmann in UFC 121 next week, making it his debut UFC fight. If he wins on October 23rd, he’ll probably face the winner of the Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck battle.
He’s still knocking over his competitors without meat, as he explained to USA Today in an interview.
“I feel really healthy and really clean this way,” Shields said.
“I’m not a preachy kind person, but. … if you watch videos of all those slaughterhouses and the way everything’s raised, to me that’s just gross. It’s not something I want to be a part of.”
