Jake Shields to fight Joe Riggs at April 11 Strikeforce event

It's been confirmed that former EliteXC Welterweight Champion Jake Shields (22-4-1) will take on UFC and Strikeforce veteran Joe Riggs (29-10) on the main card at Strikeforce's April 11th show in San Jose, California, which will also feature a main event fight between Nick Diaz and Frank Shamrock.

Jake Shields is probably the best middleweight not in the UFC right now and Joe Riggs is, well, a guy who fights. Shields is coming off an eleven fight win streak while Riggs has gone 4-2 since getting dropped by the UFC. I'd like to say this'll be a competitive fight, but the only way I see it going is Shields taking it to the ground early and getting an easy submission. If that's your idea of competitive then, yeah, I guess it will be competitive. Just like the time I challenged that guy in a wheelchair to a stair climbing contest. Oh, yeah, it was so competitive.

...Right up until I lost. I still say he cheated.
