Jon Fitch will defend his WSOF welterweight title against Jake Shields on Nov. 12 in Loveland, Colorado.WSOF president Ray Sefo revealed the matchup to ESPN on Tuesday. The event will take place inside Budweiser Events Center and air on NBC Sports Network at 10:30 p.m. ET.The 170-pound matchup was discussed earlier this year, but Shields pulled out of negotiations due to a contract dispute. According to Sefo, Shields (31-8-1) recently signed a new four-fight deal.Just like any contract negotiation, it went back and forth, and we settled on something everyone was very happy with, Sefo said. Jake is a great guy. One thing we needed to work out were the grappling tournaments he wishes to compete in. We wanted to give him that freedom. We were happy with the deal. Jake is happy.This matchup is long overdue. You have two great guys, great names in the sport. Theyre icons. Were happy we could put this match together.Shields was not immediately available to comment on the new contract.Sefo acknowledged the event falls on the same date as a highly anticipated UFC 205 pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden, the promotions first trip to New York since 1995. Sefo said the Nov. 12 date had long been in place for WSOF.We have our dates laid out, and this one was set, Sefo said. We didnt know New York was going to pass MMA, and in reality, this is hard to avoid. The UFC has a show every week, sometimes twice a week. We already have dates in place for 2017.A former UFC veteran, Fitch (28-7-1) claimed the WSOF vacant title by defeating Joao Zeferino via unanimous decision in April. The 38-year-old has fought the likes of Georges St-Pierre, B.J. Penn, Thiago Alves, Johny Hendricks, Demian Maia and Yushin Okami. He is 4-1 in his past five fights.Shields, 37, is a former Strikeforce middleweight champion and UFC welterweight title challenger. He has not fought since a controversial submission loss to Rousimar Palhares in August 2015. Shields accused Palhares of holding a kimura submission too long, as well as repeatedly gouging his eyes in the contest. Palhares received a two-year suspension in Nevada for holding his actions in that fight. Dan Hampton Womens Jersey .

(STATS) -- The new FCS season already suggests it will have its share of twists and turns.All it took was one game -- top-ranked North Dakota State being pushed to overtime by Charleston Southern in the FCS Kickoff last Saturday -- to remind FCS nation how the season will be a roller coaster ride.NDSU quarterback Easton Stick may have improved to 9-0 as a starter, but the tight opener served as a reminder that, yes, the five-time reigning FCS champion Bison are replacing some key players, none bigger than the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Carson Wentz.The FCS keeps hosting an NDSU coronation in early January in Frisco, Texas, but the dynasty has to end at some point. All 125 FCS teams are ready to make the 2016 season memorable, and the first full weekend of action kicks off Thursday night.Nothing trumps the conference schedule during the regular season, and the interesting factor in many of the FCS races is the team picked to win the conference in its preseason poll will be going on the road against the team picked second, including North Dakota State in the Missouri Valley (Northern Iowa) and Charleston Southern in the Big South (Liberty).Its never an easy assignment. In the MEAC, preseason choice North Carolina A&T has to play at the two teams with whom it shared last years conference title, Bethune-Cookman and North Carolina Central. Its the same in the Ivy Leaguee, with Harvard heading to Penn and Dartmouth.ddddddddddddAlso, Richmond is visiting William & Mary in CAA Football, Jacksonville State goes to Eastern Kentucky in the Ohio Valley Conference, Colgate is at Fordham in the Patriot League and Chattanooga visits The Citadel in the Southern Conference.Add in that teams emerge in the conference races that few foresee coming, such as champion Southern Utah and Portland State in the Big Sky and co-champion The Citadel in the Southern Conference last year, and the title races usually get crowded.While a wealth of talent returns this season, nearly two-thirds of the players who were selected as their conferences 2015 offensive and defensive players of the year arent. Many new standouts must emerge.Injuries could play as big a factor as any other this season. Last year, they hit hardest to title contenders in CAA Football, where quarterbacks John Robertson of Villanova (the 2014 FCS offensive player of the year) and Vad Lee of James Madison were lost to season-ending injuries.The unforeseen has already hit North Dakota State as All-America linebacker Nick DeLuca suffered a separated shoulder in the FCS Kickoff. The Bison hope it wont have a long-term effect.Its FCS season again -- fun, crazy and superb. ' ' '
