In a recent development, Shields issued a public challenge, offering to face 10 transgender fighters consecutively in the same night:"Let's go, alphabet people get your 10 best and prove me wrong."Jake Shields@jakeshieldsajjLet's go, alphabet people get your 10 best and prove me wrong7319249Let's go, alphabet people get your 10 best and prove me wrongTransgender MMA athlete Mack R.K. Beggs, however, accepted the challenge but requested a proper one-on-one bout instead. It appears that the former Strikeforce middleweight champion has mistakenly identified Beggs as popular trans-fighter Alana McLaughlin. Shields posted a picture of McLaughlin, who is not the intended opponent, resulting in confusion and miscommunication:Jake Shields@jakeshieldsajjThis dude blocked me so someone tell him I accept his offer352732131This dude blocked me so someone tell him I accept his offer https://t.co/A2bIAoRLl2Subsequently, the 44-year-old fighter modified his challenge by including Mike Jackson as one of the individuals he would face in a series of fights on the same night:Jake Shields@jakeshieldsajjMy offer has been updated, I will fight Mike Jackson and 10 trans men This is a serious offer so get your team ready6095211My offer has been updated, I will fight Mike Jackson and 10 trans men This is a serious offer so get your team ready
