Jake Shields (born January 9, 1979) is an American far-right political activist, podcaster, and former mixed martial artist.

Shields was the last Rumble on the Rock Welterweight Champion, the only Elite XC Welterweight Champion, a former Shooto Welterweight Champion and former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion. He notably held a 15-fight winning streak for six years, which was carried over to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where it was broken Georges St. Pierre in a UFC Welterweight Championship fight. He described his style as "American Jiu-Jitsu".[3]

Shields hosts the Fight Back podcast. He has expressed white nationalist, antisemitic, Holocaust denialist and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. He was considered to be part of the Groyper movement until a fallout with leader Nick Fuentes in 2026.[4]

Early life

Jake Shields was born on January 9, 1979 to his father Jack and mother Billie,[5] he was raised near Mountain Ranch, California. Shields began wrestling at the age of nine and went on to wrestler at Calaveras High School where he finished in 2nd Place at the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) National Freestyle Championships.[6] Following high school he then attended junior college and was a two time junior college All American wrestler at Cuesta College.[6][7] During his time at Cuesta Shields would begin to train MMA with Chuck Lindell who was friends with the Cuesta wrestling coach.[8]

In 2001, he received a wrestling scholarship to San Francisco State University where he wrestled for one year. By 2002 Shields began training at the Cesar Gracie Gym and dropped out of school to focus on fighting.[8]

Mixed martial arts

Shields is perhaps best known[citation needed] for his 15-fight winning streak, finishing eight of his eleven opponents before being defeated by UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre in a unanimous decision in a five-round battle at UFC 129. Shields has captured the Shooto World Mixed Martial Arts Championship and the Rumble on the Rock World Championship. He submitted Nick Thompson via guillotine choke in a bout for the Elite XC Welterweight Championship.[9][10]

He finished in 3rd place at the ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship in 2005.

At Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields he fought EliteXC's last middleweight champion and former two-time ICON Sport middleweight champion at a catchweight of 182 pounds (83 kg). Shields pounced and secured a guillotine choke to finish his opponent via submission at 2:02 of the first round.[11]

At Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers he fought Jason 'Mayhem' Miller for the vacant Strikeforce Middleweight Championship after Cung Le stepped down as champion to pursue his acting career. Shields defeated Miller via unanimous decision.[citation needed]

Shields successfully defended his title, defeating former Pride World Welterweight and Pride Middleweight Champion Dan Henderson via unanimous decision on April 17, 2010, at Strikeforce: Nashville.[12]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

On June 30, 2010, Strikeforce released Shields from the organization.[13][14][15] In July 2010, it was reported that Shields was close to signing a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). [16]

Shields made his UFC debut against Martin Kampmann on October 23, 2010, at UFC 121.[17][18] Shields defeated Kampmann via split decision.[19]

Shields fought Georges St-Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Championship on April 30, 2011, at UFC 129 in Toronto. Shields lost via unanimous decision.[20]

Shields faced Jake Ellenberger on September 17, 2011, at UFC Fight Night 25, losing via first-round TKO.[citation needed]

He faced Yoshihiro Akiyama on February 26, 2012, at UFC 144, winning via unanimous decision.[21]

Shields returned to the middleweight division and faced Ed Herman on August 11, 2012, at UFC 150.[22] Initially, he was declared the winner via unanimous decision.

On October 12, 2012, however, it was announced that Shields had failed his drug test at UFC 150 on account of the fact that the test revealed that he had used a banned performance enhancing drug, and he was subsequently fined and suspended for six months.[23] The result of the fight was changed to a No Contest.[24] In January 2015 Shields said the failed test was due to a banned diuretic.[25]

Shields faced Tyron Woodley in a welterweight bout on June 15, 2013, at UFC 161.[26] The bout was contested on the feet for nearly its entirety in a largely uneventful fight where neither fighter was able to deliver any significant offense. Shields defeated Woodley via split decision.[27]

Shields next faced Demian Maia on October 9, 2013, at UFC Fight Night 29.[28] As expected, the contest between the two jiu jitsu practitioners took place mostly on the ground, and Shields won via split decision.[29]

He fought Héctor Lombard on March 15, 2014, at UFC 171. Shields lost the fight via unanimous decision.[citation needed]

On April 6, 2014, Shields was released from the promotion.[30]

After Shields was released from the UFC, the outspoken and often candid president of the organization, Dana White, had this to say about Shields:

"Mixed martial arts is a young man's game. I like Jake Shields a lot. But let's be honest here: Where was he going in this [welterweight] division of animals we have? He's on the downswing, and he's never going to be the guy. His stand-up never improved. He hasn't really shown anything in his last couple of fights to make you go, 'Holy [expletive].' Right now, at this point, he's just another guy."[31]

World Series of Fighting

In April 2014, Shields signed a multi-fight deal with the World Series of Fighting.[32] Shields was expected to compete at WSOF 11 on July 5, 2014, against Jon Fitch, but withdrew due to a shoulder injury.[33]

Shields made his debut for World Series of Fighting at WSOF 14 on October 11, 2014, in Edmonton, Canada against WSOF Canadian Welterweight Champion Ryan Ford.[34] He won via submission in the first round.[citation needed]

Shield next faced Brian Foster in the main event at WSOF 17 on January 17, 2015. He again won the fight via submission in the first round.[citation needed]

Shields faced Rousimar Palhares on August 1, 2015, at WSOF 22.[35] He lost the fight by submission due to a kimura, marking his first loss by submission. This wasn't without controversy as Palhares repeatedly eye gouged Shields after several warnings from the ref, Palhares also held onto the submission well after Shields had tapped.[36] In response, Shields punched Palhares in the face after the fight was over, and attempted a kick which the referee blocked. Both Shields and Palhares were temporarily suspended by the NSAC after the fight.[citation needed]

Shields was lined up to face Jon Fitch for the vacant WSOF welterweight championship at WSOF 30 on April 1, 2016. The match was canceled due to contract issues between Shields and the company.[citation needed]

It was announced that Shields would challenge for the WSOF Welterweight Championship against Jon Fitch on November 12, 2016, at WSOF 34.[37] The fight was then rescheduled to December 31, 2016, in the co-main event.[38] Shields lost the fight by unanimous decision.[citation needed]

Professional Fighters League

Shields made his PFL debut at PFL Everett on July 29, 2017, against Danny Davis Jr. He won the bout via unanimous decision.[39]

On July 5, 2018, Shields made his PFL season debut at PFL 3. Despite being a heavy favorite, he lost to Ray Cooper III via technical knockout in the second round.[40]

On August 16, 2018, Shields defeated Herman Terrado at PFL 6 via unanimous decision advancing to the playoffs.[41]

On October 20, 2018, Shields faced Ray Cooper III in a rematch at PFL 10.[42] He lost the fight via technical knockout in the first round.[43]

Grappling events

On November 22, 2014, Shields fought Roberto Satoshi in a grappling match in Metamoris V. The fight ended in a draw.[citation needed]

On April 2, 2016, Shields then fought AJ Agazarm at Polaris 3. The match was controversial as it was plagued with eye gouges and strikes coming from both fighters.[44] At one point in the match Shields slapped Agazarm while both men were standing.[44] The fight ended in a draw.[45]

On January 19, 2019, Shields fought Ron Keslar for the Fight 2 Win Middleweight Championship. Shields won the match via decision.[46]

Shields defeated Diego Sanchez in a grappling match at High Rollerz 4 on February 5, 2020.[47]

Television and film

Shields stars in and co-produced Fight Life, an award-winning documentary on the sport of MMA, the film is directed by James Z. Feng and released in 2013.[48] Shields appeared in three episodes of Bully Beatdown on MTV and MTV2 on April 12, 2009,[49] and a different episode on September 10.[50] Shields also served as a grappling coach for Chuck Liddell on The Ultimate Fighter 11,[51] and appeared on the Animal Planet channel for episodes of Wild Recon and Venom in Vegas.[52]

Political views and activism

On December 28, 2022, following an online altercation between climate activist Greta Thunberg and influencer Andrew Tate, Shields suggested that Tate should give Thunberg a 'proper smashing' so that she abandons her "crazy feminist/climate nonsense".[54]

On April 25, 2023, Shields had addressed support via a tweet, which was later deleted for violating Twitter's terms of service, for the public executions of people who help a child transition their gender, and recommended that doctors, therapists, teachers, and guidance counselors be publicly executed for their assistance in helping the gender transitions of children.[55] In May 2026, he was flagged on Twitter for stating he was a Holocaust denialist, and that the Holocaust was "a fiction of the Jewish imagination"; that same month, he expressed support to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein amidst a fallout with Nick Fuentes.[56]

In September 2023, Shields supported the social media campaign to ban the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) from Twitter.[57] In March 2024, the ADL described him as an "antisemitic conspiracy theorist" after he claimed that Israel created the terrorist group ISIS.[58]

Following the 2023 October 7 attacks and subsequent Gaza war, Shields has presented himself as a pro-Palestinian activist, amassing followers on social media for posting content focusing on the war.[59][60] The ADL identified him as one of five key far-right influencers on X who had used the conflict to gain an audience, whose combined follower count increased by over 1070% in the period, with Shields reaching over 760,000 in late 2023.[59] Shields has posted photos showing the effects of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, as well as content about the alleged persecution of white people by Jews.[60]

Shields is also a proponent of Holocaust denial, saying in a post on X in February 2024: “I don't think a single Jew died in gas chambers.”[4] One May 2024 post on X, according to the ADL, was viewed over 1.3 million times and has 21K likes and said that Jews control America, as Congress is “making it illegal to question Jewish power.”[59] Public Discourse alleged that "he has spread multiple blood libels with impunity".[61]

In June 2024, Shields and Nick Fuentes were prevented from attending a conference of the right-wing Turning Point USA and instead attended a far-right rally in Detroit originally organized by Fuentes as the 2024 America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), and also attended by Sulaiman Ahmed, an online influencer, and David Duke, former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.[62][59] Shields also hosted David Duke on his podcast and described him as a "nice old man".[63] Shields fell out with Fuentes amid allegations that Fuentes was a federal agent.

In March 2025, while hosting an Australian neo-Nazi on his podcast, Shields praised Adolf Hitler and Nazi policies, claiming that Hitler "wasn't pushing hatred towards other races". He also defended the Nazi book burnings, claiming the books targeted "were, like, tranny books and communist books".[64][65] He hosted the Irish neo-Nazi Justin Barrett on his podcast in May 2026, where Barrett claimed that Jewish people were pushing worldwide abortion laws.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has also published an article highlighting Shields' interactions and support of neo-Nazi and alt-right groups and beliefs.[66]

In May 2026, he endorsed Dan Bilzerian's congressional campaign, and called his election bid against his opponent, the incumbent Randy Fine, "the most important election" in the 2026 midterms.

Personal life

Shields has a daughter, born December 2000.[67] On August 29, 2011, Shields' father and manager, Jack Shields, died at age 67.[68]

Shields is a lifelong vegetarian. He appeared in both print and video ads for PETA, touting his vegetarian lifestyle.[69] Shields is critical of vaccines.[70]

On September 21, 2023, he failed to appear at an arraignment in a Nevada court. He was charged with misdemeanor battery related to an altercation between himself and Mike Jackson, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.[71]

He has identified as a former atheist who now holds belief in a God.[72]
