    Surely hes good enough for the UFC.

    Any reason he doesn't / hasn't fought or been asket to fight on any of their cards?

    Probably for the same reason Fraidor didn't sign wit UFC, more money to be had fighting cans elsewhere

    Lol. Two former ufc heavyweight champs are suddenly cans? Sheilds possibly hasn't been offered any fights by the UFC as he's perceived as being boring.

    Shields is a strikforce champ. He's obviously talented enough to compete in the ufc. But he's a defending champion in a great organisation. The ufc isn't the premier division of the mma league.

    The SF HW cans are better than the UFC HW cans. I doubt fraidor is afraid of losing or competing. You haven't a clue of anything. I'm sick of reading this kind of bullshiite over and over again. Jeesh.

    jason Miller, Robbie Lawlor and Paul Daley last 3 fights. Not the easiest opposition though the first two may be arguably past their best

    What do you mean suddenly? This has been an internet talking point for ages and ages. There is a strong case for both to be considered cans at this stage.

    Good point, I'll say it another way. At the time he fought them they were not considered cans. They were both expected at the time to put it up to him. He destroyed them both easily.

    Shields is likely to fight Hendo next - not exactly a can!

    Let's wait and see. A year or so out of the ufc and a couple of loses later makes you a can. Apparently.

    No getting knocked out in seconds by Ray Mercer and losing to the bully on Bully Beatdown makes you a can.
