C'mon...you can't kill Shields for not being in the UFC. Contrary to popular belieft, there is talent in places other than the UFC. The talent may not be as deep, but there are other legit orgs other than the UFC. Maybe he feels he can't compete in the UFC at this point in his career. He eventually make it to the UFC. Don't kill him for things he can't always control. He has faced some top guys, and he has beat a lot of them. Look at his resume.

Fights against Jeremy Jackson (win), Mach Sakurai (win), Akira Kikuchi (win), Kaz Misaki (draw), Akira Kikuchi again (loss), Dave Menne (win), Yushin Okami (win), Carlos Condit (win). He has fought all these guys that are respectively in the top 15 in their division without ever stepping foot in a UFC cage. Imagine that!
