All signs point to Jake Shields defending his Strikeforce middlweight title against Dan Henderson in April, but following Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza's impressive first-round submission of Matt Lindland on Saturday night, the Brazilian fighter can certainly make a case for himself being the No. 1 contender, as well.

Souza and Lindland met with the media at the post-fight press conference in San Jose, Calif., and "Jacare" talked about why he thinks he deserves a title shot next, as well as potential rematches against Gegard Mousasi and Jason "Mayhem" Miller.
