Fighters have many tough decisions to make during their careers, from choosing their coaches and managers to picking opponents and selecting the organization for which they want to compete. However, no decision is more difficult for a professional prizefighter than determining when the journey is over. Longtime welterweight star Jake Shields is currently at this crucial crossroads.
“After 19 years, I still do love this sport,” he told Sherdog.com, “and I feel like I can beat a lot of top guys.”
Despite his passion for MMA being as strong as ever, Shields remains unsure about whether or not he should continue on with his journey.
