The UFC has just announced that Jake Shields will return to action in August, and he will be returning to the Middleweight division after a 1-2 run in the UFC at Welterweight.
Shields will be fighting Ed "Short Fuse" Herman in his middleweight return. Shields last fought Yoshihiro Akiyama in Japan back in February, winning by unanimous decision, but in reality he barely did beat Akiyama. And is likely part of why he's decided to go back to middleweight.
Herman has returned after taking almost 2 years off to heal from injuries with a bang, going 3-0 so far. Herman last appeared against Clifford Starks at UFC 143 where he submitted Starks via rear naked choke in the second round. All 3 of his fights have also been finished, 2 subs and 1 TKO. This is a big step up in competition for Herman, he's earned it, but will he be able to get past Shields?
UFC 150 takes place on August 11th 2012 at the Pepsi Center in Denver Colorado.
