GracieFighter.com: Shields vs. McKee is off

Posted by Sam Caplan on Thursday, August 16, 2007 at 12:11 pm· 2 Comments 


According to GracieFighter.com, an announced fight between Jake Shields and Antonio McKee scheduled for October 19 is off:

Despite having resigned from the IFL and having signed with a new organization, Antonio McKee found himself in somewhat of a jam when IFL representatives pointed out that his contract was an exclusive one and that they had no intention of allowing him to fight elsewhere. After legal issues were brought up and the threat of an injunction loomed over McKee’s fight with Shields, it became clear to all parties that this fight would not happen.

    So does this mean that McKee is back in the IFL? Or does he have to wait until his IFL contract expires then he can sign elsewhere?
