No sense burying the lead. Jake Shields just got right to it, the way just about every fighter does after a split decision. “It was a close fight, and personally I thought I had won.” Insert that exact phrase into a fighter quote after any split call, and there’s about a 98 percent certainty it’ll fit. For Shields (28-6-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC), he got the nod after a close fight against Tyron Woodley (11-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) a week ago at UFC 161. And just like most fighters the moment they realize it’s about to be a split decision when Bruce Buffer has to break out who got what score, Shields thought maybe it wasn’t going to go his way – even though, as he said, he thought he did enough
