Jake Shields’ Veg Win

Proving that you don’t have to eat animals to succeed in the ring, meat-free muscle man Jake Shields beat UFC veteran Dan Henderson to win the Strikeforce middleweight title fight and retain his title. Last Saturday, the California native and lifelong vegetarian fought his way to a win in five rounds as approximately 3 million viewers tuned in to watch the televised mixed martial arts event. Henderson, a two-time Olympian and former titleholder of a two-division Pride Fighting Championships title, was heavily favored. Shields also acts as a force outside the ring, championing animal-rights causes. Shields boasts an impressive three Gracie Jui-Jitsu black belts and has also appeared on MTV’s Bully Beatdown.
