Jake Shields (born January 9, 1979) is a right-wing American 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), unitil it was broken in a loss to Georges St. Pierre in a UFC Welterweight Championship fight. He described his style as "American Jiu-Jitsu".
Following his retirement from combat sports, Shields transitioned into online political commentary, hosting the Fight Back podcast. He has promoted white nationalist, antisemitism including Holocaust denial, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and conspiracy theories.
