The EliteXC welterweight title fight between Jake Shields and Drew Fickett scheduled for this Saturday night has been called off.
The fight was going to be the co-main event on the combined EliteXC-Strikeforce Shamrock vs Cung Le event in San Jose, CA.
Shields reportedly pulled a muscle in his back while training last week and has not been able to recover enough to fight this weekend.
The fight has not been completely cancelled, only postponed until a later date; most likely within the next few months.

this sucks a bunch of donkey ***
I know. This would have been a decent fight.
Fickett’s not the best, but he’s a tough fighter and Shields has been waiting long enough for his title shot ever since Mike Pyle chickend out.
