Jake Shields leaves StrikeForce. A deal with UFC should be announced any day now.

I think he has said he'd be able to fight at mw or ww. It'd be interesting to see him in the mix at either division.

UFC also signed Dong Yi Yang, a Korean Top Team up and comer. He's a middle weight who's 9-0 with all 9 stoppages. Will be interesting to see how well he does. The UFC mw div is kind of weak right now anyways so he may do well.
