Former UFC welterweight Jake Shields showed concern over Tate’s mental health. The 44-year-old is also a vocal advocate against forced COVID vaccination like Tate was until recently. Tate and Shields are birds of the same feather, both notorious for their opinions.

Therefore, the former Strikeforce Middleweight champion did not hide his surprise that Tate changed his stance on the vaccine. He wrote, “This is the first time I’ve ever been worried about your mental health.”

In response to a fan who claimed Tate’s take was sarcastic, Shields had another typical response. He wrote, “I’m aware because no way Andrew would ever be that big of a b*tch.”
