Jake Shields (26-6-1 MMA, 0-2 UFC) recently spoke about his hopes of rebounding at UFC 144, after a rough 2011. Here are the highlights…

On His Bad 2011: "I had a tough year last year, especially the end of the year. Losing my dad and going through the fight, it was a tough time for me. But I'm really fortunate to have a lot of good people surrounding me, a good support system.

The first couple of months were hard, but then I started feeling a lot better. Right now, training for this fight, I'm feeling the best I've ever felt. Everything started clicking a couple of months after that and coming together, and this camp has been smooth. As long as the weightcut goes good and fight night goes good, I should have an amazing performance."

On Fighting Following the Death of His Father: "It was one of those tough decisions," Shields said. "It was a decision I chose, to move forward and fight. I can't really regret the decisions I make. It's easy to look back and wish you would have done something, but I made a decision, and unfortunately it didn't turn out my way."

On Possibly Moving Back to Middleweight: "I thought about moving back to middleweight," Shields admitted. "I was really heavily considering that, but I decided to stick another fight out at 170. Right now, I feel great, and I feel it's the right decision."

On The Pressure Being On Him: "I've got a lot of pressure," Shields said. "You don't want to put that in your head too much. You want to relax, but yeah, coming off two losses isn't good in this sport. You're as good as your last fight, they say. To lose two in a row is not good. I need to go out there and put on a great performance. I definitely want to keep my job and get back to title contention."
