Sorry to say it Primo but we seen the end of Ken Shamrock today. It looked like he broke his artificial hip trying to hit Franklin in the dome. I think it is safe to say Kens best days are behind him.
I saw the fight last night, and I'll admit that I was slightly disappointed. I thought for sure that Ken would make the other guy submit with that leg lock, but he was able to work out. I was also surprised that he didn't do more to defend himself towards the end.
I'm afraid I have to agree with you...I think he has certainly seen better days.
Yeah, that would be good!! If I recall correctly, he (Ken) was hoping to fight Tank at one of the Ultimate Ultimates, however due to Kens injury, it never happened. Although Tank is not too popular with many people, I think he adds that special flare to the fights. Ya gotta love his interviews though!!!
i must say i was pretty disappointed in ken's performance. my wife said she wasnt sure if she wanted to watch that bout because after the griffin vs bonnar match it would probably look boring.
i was surprised to see ken shamrock fighting without shoes, there were 2 instances were poor footing caused him to take it, the 2nd one being the deal breaker.
I also was disappointed in Shamrock's fight. My wife who could care anything less about martial arts or fighting raised an eyebrow to say what was that about? :idunno:
I think after this fight Ken has gone from a contender to a stepping stone.
Also, no disrespect to Rich Franklin, I think he is a hell of a fighter. I like him a lot, but I just can't get past the fact that he looks so much like Jim Carey. When they ask him if he is ready, I half expect him to say "Alrighty then".
Not to encourage Shammy but Franklin very well could beat Tanner for the belt this upcoming PPV. Shammy is basically done they should but him and Tank together for a last hurahh and call it quits.
