Frank Shamrock on why people fight

[metalwarrior917]

That is the best way to let out the demons from your past is to fight otherwise those demons will eat you alive from the inside and drive you to the point of insanity. Frank Shamrock took all the hell he went through during his childhood and unleashed it on his opponents and whether he won or lost in the end that burden or demon is finally gone. Words of a true warrior: Frank Shamrock

[murderousintent]

fuck keanu reeves they should have let frank shamrock exorcise those demons in constantine

[jkulesha]

Demons? NO wonder people want to fight me

[balisong209]

wtffffffff is he talking about stop doing shrooms and seeing demons loLOlz.

[ZigZagRunner]

gotta like that guy

[dmorley100]

Wow. He just said exactly what I was thinking.

[smcneal057]

Frank Shamrock just spoke the truth there. A fighter is willing to face that fear and become stronger while the normal person just lives day to day with what could be put aside. A fighter rips apart mind, body, and soul to move forward in life. It is through the body that a fighter expresses his true self.

[PoRtSpAwN]

frank shamrock-a man of words

[crustdjomla]

i started to train mma because of him ... frank

is frank..nothing more to say...

[bogowww]

This is amazing !!! It took Frank only 1:35 to explain what is MMA all about !!!! No one can find better word's to describe it !!!!

[AkiraKunitachi]

@bogowww No disrespect intended in the slightest, but it's not just what MMA is about, it's what ALL fighting is about, whether it be MMA, Boxing, Judo, Sambo or any other of the multitudes of different disciplines. Other than that, completely agree with you :)

[TheNomads81]

Juaraz,what in the fuck are you talking about?After smoking for the last 30 years your brain has turned 2 mush maybe you should quit the green green & come back to reality. what Im about to say is not directed at any of you that are the new genaration of fighter that said.Weather i am collectin a debt wit a axe handle or in the cage or ring pro a fight is a fight. I love to fight cuz it is such a great feelin to beat the living shit out of another dude and change his life 4 the worst wit scars.

[Xentradi97]

This hit home. Respect to Frank. Didn't know the man was so deep. It's not about fighting guys or who's stronger and who's not and who wins and who loses. It's about feeling alive. Something no armchair quarterbacks or keyboard warriors can understand.

[intj123]

frank shamrock is the man

[Bushido1049]

Frank is the legend

[billingswayne]

saying somone, that can easily and obviously kick the fuck out of you, is a pussy or a punk really proves what a fukin retard you are. Are am I suposed to beleive you can even compare to any professianal fighter. you have obviously necer done any fighting, amature or street.

[billingswayne]

I am sick of you keybaord warriors talkin shit. If you dont respect Ken Shamrock for being a fighter than how could you respect anyone including yourself, Im sure he would kick your punk ass

I want to kick your ass right now

[annuocao555]

soooo true. ive never felt more alive then when im fighting.

[HumanTarget420]

Lol at you keyboard warriors. You can't say that Shamrock doesn't deserve respect if you haven't done what has accomplished.

[vserrano6969]

@HumanTarget420 hell yeah frank was a goddamn warrior an awsome fighter what he has he was born with you couldnt teach what this guys got. and fuck those keyboard warrioirs lol i love when people espacially ones that have never fought nor so much as trained to be a fighter give there 2 cents about a guy who agve everything he had to become a fighter. lol these people that talk shit have no idea

[HedPEhead1969]

yea, both the shamrocks are fuckin punks- think they deserve respect like Ken did then got embarassed 3 times in a row HAHAHA

[tyson1062]

you fuckin punk climb back under your rock and suck ya mum and ya dead granny ya prick  :P

[whoodkid]

as much as i think he is intelligent.issues his such a weak and wrong word.

[whoodkid]

frank is one of the best, he paved the way for some of todays fighters. he is also very intelligent. much respect

[Yamainnu]

Frank is one of the most disrespectful fighters out there... terrible techniques... bad attitude..

all ego.. and roids...

Not to mention just overall being a little punk and a-hole in the ring...

he desereves very little respect

sorry....

[jordantheok]

shamrock is rite not Evan sex beats fighting but you need to be a fighter to understand it or to have grounds to criticize it if not  your just being an ass

[bigassballsyes]

never heard so much crap ever, if you think hes drug free, your naive

[mitchx69]

why just because u cant do it with out juicing up no one can

[staff72]

Frank is the man. People don't like him but he is a LEGEND in this sport. One of the best their is and ever will be at 185.

[kasdri]

Hardly ,, but the steroids he took did'nt hurt either. Frank can get in line because there are much better fighters ahead of him .

[bigassballsyes]

One thing also, steroid use just compacts thees problems and its safe to he's done a fair share of juicing

[m6t123]

he wouldnt have lasted this long in the sport if he was a juicer, he's just naturally athletic.

[VIRUSMMAFIGHTER]

i have to agree with him.when im in the cage i feel free and i can show all the people that said im not good enough that they were wrong.everone has it in them to fight even when we where babies we hit people so why not fight i love it the respect the work the pain it is all worth it.

[bigassballsyes]

listen ot what hes saying though, fighters have got issues, that is not a good thing imo

[jpm7018]

all people have issues fighters just work them out.

[NidisListenstoShit]

"Issues" is such a weak word. People have motivations.

[geraint1986]

Hes talking about what motivates him to fight, his "issues" are what motivates him.

[dehgcye]

He is one of the greatest fighters out there in MMA, also a fantastic role model and spokesperson for the sport.

[wlkns104]

does any one know. everytime you defend your title do you get one to take home ive seen frank shamrock with like 5 mw belts

[bertinotti]

A very lucid explanation.

[chumbawomba]

Ask Bas Ruten why people fight!

He battered Frank!

[jacquesl22]

But Bas also lost to Ken?!

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

shut the fuck up

[bazarro44]

people fight because they are stupid. but im glad Frank is honest and admits MMA is about fighting and not "balance, coordination, discipline, oh its not about fighting". Everytime they say "fighter" or "fights"...they admit its about fighting.

dumb sport. if u wanna call it a sport.

[dehgcye]

How is it not a sport? It is a sport in the purest form. Two men pitted against each other with nothing but their own bodies. If you lose, you can get seriously hurt. Hell, even if you win you can be hurt. battling it out to overcome the other. More of a sport than half the sports we saw at the olympics. Tabletennis? C'mon.

[barnetthejosh]

You've just hit the nail on the head, you can get hurt either way and thats why its about fighting, not money/sport

[jimmy1deen]

its more of a sport then friggan poker, and you need discipline and coordination to fight... but yes, it is about fighting

[barnetthejosh]

Its fair to sy most fighters did,'t have the option of going into brain surgery

[dehgcye]

Are you a disruntled brain surgeon?

[barnetthejosh]

No I thought about it but it didn't pay enough

[Crass138]

He's an outstanding fighter, knowledgeable, insane physics, he's prepare to beat anyone's ass who stands in his way.

[kaizerthetorus]

thanx for speaking out frank thanx

[cam8345]

franks the man

[Oceanica22]

thanks for saying this Frank, god bless you.

[64strikess]

such inspirational words from frank oh his my first myspace friend ^_^...

[4wheeledshredder]

The very last statement he says is so true, at least for me it is

[yardape99]

It's a shame there aren't more fighters that understand why they fight and know how to articulate themselves. Frank Shamrock, Josh Barnett...guys like those are a rare breed in this sport.

[SinGalDay]

This man is my inspiration. He understands what he talks about and is knowledgeable in whatever he does. I have the upmost respect for this individual. Thank you Frank Shamrock..

[FranktheShanker12]

how can anybody not like frank shamrock?

[Oceanica22]

he did pull a shitty trick on renzo gracie though, that kind of behaviour would be something not to like about him, since renzo gracie is really a fantastic guy he did not deserve that did he?

[FranktheShanker12]

renzo is a bitch, he could've fought and deserves an academy award for the performance he put on that night, frank did use an illegal move but frank didnt know the rules and elitexc never told him the rules renzo had time to recover and couldve fought on but he took the d'q win.they should rematch i guarantee frank wouldnt break the rules again

[Oceanica22]

Listen I'm a big fan of Frank but,

I do not believe an intelligent guy like him doesn't inform himself about the rules.

I also think renzo was really fucked up from those hits. He did not look like he was acting to me, that wouldn't make sense for him either, he wouldn't do that. Thats just my opinion, So I disagree with you on this.

[FranktheShanker12]

im not about to get into a big thing with you here, im going on what shamrock said in his disgracied video on youtube, look it up, and frank spent majority of his career when moves like that were legal

[shakeri840813]

FRANKIE IS DA MAN

[shakeri840813]

frankie you are the man sorry about the loss though i´m still your lojal fan man hang in there pal

[kissoct666]

Fighting is filling a personal void, it is a WAR against yourself, dying in BATTLE becomes TRANSCENDENT and BEAUTIFUL.

[themeaningoflife38]

Frank is the best eva

[HuRyu1]

I think that its whats in your heart, if your fighting just to hurt someone then your fighting for the devil. But if your just fighting for the sport, for the art, to improve yourself and spirit that is a true martial artist.

[mmamostwanted]

This is a great video! The video contains pics of Frank Shamrocks fights with a narrative. Frank holds 5 ufc title belts!

I wish I could fight competitively. I have some demons that I would like to exercise out of my body.

I'll be at Frank's fight on 3/29/08 when he fights Cung Le!

[surfr01]

frank is the mantis

[FranktheShanker12]

Frank's a very intelligent guy, its a shame there are so many Frank Shamrock haters. Frank is a true champion of mma
