nope he'll be stuck fighting for WSOF canada since he can't cross the border with his criminal record
not sure if UFC wants a guy like that...or do they....i dunno the line is so blurred these days

The barrier for him previously is getting a VISA to fight in the USA. He hasn't been in trouble for a long time but he has some convictions that have prevented him from fighting in the USA. If he can't fight in the USA I doubt the UFC will sign him.
I am from Edmonton and met him a few times back in highschool. Dude is imposing!

not a shields fan but no denying his record and his solid chin (post dad death juggernaut fight nonwithstanding)
if he finishes him by ko/tko (cuz VERY unlikely he would sub him) it would be pretty huge
if he subbed him the internet may disconnect
but with those chances in mind, shields by boredom

Hell no. He cant get a visa and there is also this little matter
"Ford is from Edmonton, Alberta and had a troublesome upbringing. On January 6, 2003 when he was 20 years of age, Ford and two other men participated in a home invasion in order to collect a debt. They threatened the home owner at gunpoint, while assaulting the man's wife as she attempted to contact the police. Ford, who nearly cut off two of the man's fingers in the attack, was sentenced to four years in prison. A former high school football player, Ford originally began training in boxing before transitioning into mixed martial arts."
