Default Jake Shields vs. John Alessio ??
Quote:
In an interview with nokaut.com, Jake Shields seemingly confirms his next title defense will be against journeyman John Alessio:

Darrick: You just found out that you will be defending your title against John Alessio in about five weeks. What are your thoughts about this match?

Jake: I’m excited to be back at it. I trained all year without getting to fight until July, so I’m ready. I think John will be a good fight, he has good all-around skills and he always brings it. I’m sure he’ll be ready.


The fight wouldn’t seem to be any type of challenge for Shields. I still wonder why Zuffa wouldn’t keep Alessio under WEC contract as a veteran gatekeeper to test other welterweights. None the less, Alessio would be a solid future addition in EXC should he be kept. Scott Smith has proven himself to be very useful for the company after being let go by the UFC. Your past doesn’t matter if a majority of the viewing audience doesn’t know about it.

Although this fight is on the table. I can tell you from talking to Jake that there is a solid chance it isnt going to happen. It may or may not but I cant give any more information right now. Possibly later today but if what Jake tells me is true than this could be HUGE

The plan was to build Allesio up a bitbefore putting him in front of Shields. At this point, Shields has garnered enough attention that you have to have somone worthy to fight him. Nick Thompson was a good opponent, but he still had to be sold to the public (12 straight wins, Bodog champ, who he's fought, etc) Allesio does,'t have the resume that Pyle nor Thompson has, so selling him would be tough without a few wins.

I hope Howie is right. Maybe Shields enters another GP, or they actually do put him up against a big name MW.
