FanHouse JakeShields

All the big stories coming out of Saturday night's big night of fights are about the winners: Fedor Emelianenko showed once again that he's the best in the world, Jake Shields won the Strikeforce middleweight belt, Gegard Mousasi took another step toward elite status and Fabricio Werdum made his case that he should get Fedor next.

But I'd like to take a moment to praise the losers of the four fights.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -- Jason "Mayhem" Miller is a great entertainer. He showed in his fight with Jake Shields on Saturday night that he's a pretty good fighter, too -- but not quite good enough to beat Shields in a fight that often felt like a stalemate and left a lot of fans booing Saturday night at Strikeforce, Fedor vs. Rogers.

Miller, as usual, had an entertaining entrance, featuring dancing girls and some dancing of his own. Shields didn't need an escort of entertainers, however, he just strolled into the cage and did his business. He shot immediately for a takedown and got Miller exactly where he wanted him. Amazingly, when Shields got to full mount, Miller was able to stand back up without taking much damage.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, ILL. -- Jake Shields and Jason "Mayhem" Miller, who will meet on Saturday night for the vacant Strikeforce middleweight title, don't have very much in common. You'll never find Jake Shields dancing on the way to the cage or wearing a big fur coat at a press conference, but unlike some of Miller's past opponents, his antics don't seem to bother Shields all that much.

"I think at times he can be a little goofy and annoying, but nothing personal against the guy," Shields said.

FanHouse spoke to the former (and only) EliteXC welterweight champion on Thursday about his improved striking game, his current 12-fight winning streak, fighting for the third time on CBS, and whether he will ever move back down to the 170-pound division. The video interview is below.

CHICAGO -- On Saturday night, Jake Shields will compete on his third CBS card -- more than any other fighter.
