Palhares and Shields both traded barbs in the press conference.
"Yeah you know, like you said, I have a lot of belts, and this is a belt I respect a lot," Shields said, per MMAFighting.com. "And he's holding it for me right now. I'm going out there to...I wish we were fighting right now. I don't feel like waiting two days. I want to get it on right now."
Palhares also counted during the conference.
"You know, Jake Shields talks a lot. He talks, talks, talks a lot, he says a lot of words," Palhares said. "But we're ready for a fight, not to talk or have a conversation. If you want my belt, go to the show and you'll have the opportunity. I think it's impossible."
We'll find out who the better man is on WSOF 22 live from Las Vegas.
