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.
