[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When InsideFighting spoke with Ken Shamrock before his July 8th rematch with Tito Ortiz, "The Worlds Most Dangerous Man" expressed disappointment with his portrayal on The Ultimate Fighter season three, but relish that during the upcoming fight, there would be no one that could edit what happened inside the ring between him and Ortiz.
But after losing quickly to Ortiz by controversial TKO stoppage called by referee Herb Dean, Shamrock now feels he was mistaken.
"I guess I was wrong about my statement that no one could take away our abilities to settle things ourselves" says Shamrock. "I didnt think that type of stoppage could be possible in this kind of fight. I thought we would beat each other up and it would come down to who had the biggest heart and the better fight. But the referee didnt allow us to fight. He took it away from the fans, from me and from Tito. He took away a fight that could have been one of the most exciting ever."
