PETA has named UFC welterweight fighter and former Strikeforce Middleweight champion Jake Shields “Most Animal-Friendly Athlete.”
Shields, a lifelong vegeterian, was given the distinction at this year’s Libby Awards. Other vegeterian athletes in the running include fellow MMA fighter and boxer KJ Noons, […]
In 2000, Rulon Gardner competed at the highest level of his sport and won a Gold Medal for his country.
Eleven years later he finds himself in the competitive spotlight once again, and though he’s on the same network the circumstances couldn’t be different. In 2000, he was the Super-Heavyweight Gold Medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling and […]
