U KNOOOOW?! wuttup john1!! where u been? i think there was an imposter using your name. lol but however many fights he has, elite is NOT going to let him go so easily. doubt they’re going to put Shields Lawler together cuz of the fact it’ll lower 1 of their stock. as long as they keep testing him, he can reach Fedor legendary status with wins over stars like ninja, shammy, trigg, mahem. nobodys gonna complain about those. i think even mexicutioner will tune in.

The promoters kinda hinted to me, and they gave me the money to stand and trade with him. They didn’t want me to take him down. Let’s just put it that way. It was worth my while to try and stand up and punch with him. Petruzelli says he was paid “in the six-figure range” for accepting the main event fight on Saturday and will be re-negotiating his contract for his next EliteXC fights -cagepotato CHECK THIS OUT:

Semtex is a pretty big welterweight and Sheilds DWARFED him! Only UFC lightweight that can beat Sheilds is BJ Penn! Crowls! u do realize that there are weight classes for a reason right?

Its hard for me to gauge his skills until I see him face other top fighters. I dont think beating Ninja and Scott Smith gets you to a top 5 ranking!

U know why? because he is clearly a top 5 welterweight who signed with a company that has no decent welterweights! Now after each one of his lopsided wins I have to hear him call out fighters that he will probably NEVER get to fight! Jake, you want top opponents? Then you need to sign with the UFC. THere isnt anyone outside the UFC that is on his level, so he is wasting his prime fighting Cans (not Semtex who I rate Highly). Lets be honest, Forget all about Sheilds vs. Lawler because it WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!!! El;iteXC has about 3 good welterweights and 4 good middleweights, no way they let Jake move up to face Lawler! I would like to see it happen, but I do not believe it ever will! How many fights does he have left on his current contract? I hate Sheilds!
