Jake Shields: I'm Finally Getting Respect

By Ariel Helwani - Video Reporter and Writer

CHICAGO -- On Saturday night, Jake Shields will compete on his third CBS card -- more than any other fighter. And while his first two appearances on the network were EliteXC title fights, his upcoming bout against Jason "Mayhem" Miller for the vacant Strikeforce middleweight title has to be considered the most important one yet.

In this FanHouse exclusive pre-fight video, Shields talks about finally getting the respect he deserves in the MMA world, and why he thinks Miller will be no match for him come Saturday night.
