UFC welterweight Jake Shields believes he has just one fight left on his current UFC contract, and with his next bout, he wants to make it count.

Shields (29-6-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) said if he can pull off what no fighter has thus far been able to do – finish Hector Lombard (33-4-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) – he should get a shot at the next welterweight champion. “I’ve gotta be close,” he today told MMAjunkie Radio. “I’m on a good win streak right now, and I want to go out there put Hector away and hopefully finish, which isn’t an easy task
