Fighting Words With Mike Straka - Ken Shamrock - 1 Of 3

[davejones8]

YES IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH HIM AND FRANK LOOK ALIKE AND THERE NOT BLOOD BROS,,,THEY LOOK SO SIMILER

[K05TJ4]

ken Shamrock suacks monkey ass, he says he's blessed that he still can compete with the top.. while he lost like 10 out of his 14 last fights..

[azraelangelofred]

@K05TJ4 More than you ever won in professional MMA.

[sjewitt22]

i read that they r both adoptid so are'nt blood related but somehow they look real similar?

[MalikSucksAss]

Why does he talk like Bryan Murray now? When did he develop a sccchpeech impediment?

[HajimeNoJMo]

i wonder how much it was to fight in pancrase back then. ken shamrock was one of the first people to have a title in ufc and in pancrase and back then, that was a very big deal. well, i think it's still somewhat a big deal because only a few other fighters have achieved that: bas rutten, frank shamrock, evan tanner, and josh barnett.

[InterestingFella]

whats with the curl in your hair shamrock haha

[shawnstrong25866]

@InterestingFella I know its like the superman hairstyle

[jwong83]

Mike Straka is a pig-faced dickhead. I've heard him say some dickheaded things. Someone should curb stomp his face.

[MrScoop93]

he kinda sounds like Chael Sonnen

[MrKamakazi84]

did Mike Strada just tell Ken he looks great? lolz

[jaytok7]

that little fringe is annoying

[ZiggyKabb]

@jaytok7 your words are annoying

[Rapist87]

In alot of ways Shamrock can be kind of a dick, but the bottomline is that no matter what you think of him personally I think he would make a great friend. I wish I would have had a big brother like Ken when I was growing up. Yeah he's got an out of control ego but at the same time I think his heart is in the right place

[jackfantoe]

@Rapist87 coming from a rapest

[carddealer758V2]

No mention of PRIDE and Don Frye? Lame.

[TeamVenumTapouT89]

ill be different here. yes he used steroids, but you have to understand, before he used, he was a naturaly gifted and talented fighter(shoot wrestler) and was able to merge his skill into mixed martial arts. say what you will about his additude and his character, but never question his heart and spirit. btw, met the guy and hes real down to earth and a true fan of the people. =D

[savemgs]

@TeamVenumTapouT89 it was also ok he was using it was NHB

[Schlomoasdf]

I always loved Ken as a fighter, but I thought he was a complete tool. but in this interview he seems rather rational and well spoken, is it the age? or was the bull-talking in the ufc days all act?

[freewaffles666]

@Schlomoasdf well he was juiced the fuck up during those years

[Schlomoasdf]

@freewaffles666 yeah, but it doesn't necessarily make you a total dick. like mark kerr or other fighters they were fucking junkies, but they acted "normal", you know.

[freewaffles666]

@Schlomoasdf youre right, some of them go overboard and some dont. mark coleman perfect example of too much lol.

[Stevie10Gunshot]

When Randy Couture came onto the scene he struggled?? He won the UFC 13 heavyweight tournament, beat Vitor Belfort and then beat Maurice Smith for the UFC heavyweight title all in his first year!!

[hershysquirts187]

thats why he dont get no fights. he bitched out in the kimbo fight.

[7Mefisto]

He and his brother are more known for their twisted noses than for their fighting careers !

[R0bert2169]

I got into MMA way after Ken was a top dog, so I really haven't seen that much of him. Seems like a great guy.

[100isthebest]

@ScotlandMaleGlasgow ok. =)

[sixfouimpala]

Ken should fight Royce one more time

[NaboAdv]

@sixfouimpala Royce is dead.

[04jamell]

same belt, same lineage, ken was the first hw champ

[mra1983]

30,000 dollars, not much? Wow.

[7Mefisto]

@mra1983 To get beaten in 4 different matches ? Doesn't sound like much to me 30 000 dollars! You have to take into account that this "job" of his takes many hours in the gym where you take the same beating maybe and even work very hard and don't get paid for it! So I agree with him, that this is not much !

[AmphibiousReconMSOB]

steriods!

[mattitudev1hardy]

MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME RIGHT THERE!

[frcfed]

30k? ends meat? oh please.

[100isthebest]

i used to like Frank but right now i think he is an idiot disrespecting his father like that. What an asshole. 

[FLASH2394]

ken does NOT look great! he looks terrible! just compare him to randy for gods sake!!!

[chiefmasta31]

STEROIDS

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

Fuck this irish faggot. He needs to beat down myy the tito for a 4th time.

[04jamell]

@AlcoholicSemenStain fuck you

[carlandsimon]

he has something, i can see some merit and entertainment value if say for instance the ufc has on the odd ppv a masters fight with older guys - but sparingly. if you have the right match-up, and the fighters take it seriously, there could be some entertainment value - a relic of great fighters for yesterday. i could see 3 or 4 of these a year, first fight on the card.

[michealbensin]

If you take care of yourself, diet sleep, low stress and take less damage, 46 is nothing. Some people even think 30's is old. What is wrong with these people. Its not OLD!!!

[USPSAman]

@michealbensin its old for the fight game. fighters that old usualy have taken allot of punishment and when you get that old it catches up with you and cant take as much damage also you dont heal as quickly at that age and reflexes die.

[michealbensin]

@USPSAman

Yes of course I agree with you on that. But again that is IF you took damage in the past. Its the wrestlers that usually have a quick career but if your style is like Machida who takes very little damage, you can have a very long career. Age is NOT a factor in all cases. There are many athletes that age, who are in tip top shape. Its how you take care of yourself and how much damage you take.

[rayj778]

30,000 dollars a night? "it wasn't much" & "making ends meet" WTF??? did the roids fuck up your brain Ken? That's a lot of fucking money for 1 night.

[Twobitebrownies666]

@rayj778 for winnign a tournmanet beating 3 or 4 guys thats nothing for prize fighting

[the20hunk]

@rayj778 no its not , may be its good enough if you fight once but fighting 3-4 times a night and get 30,000 aint that much..........

[IDante1Savage]

Ken doesn't look bad at all for his age and fight life

[laxman522]

jesus, ken looks like shit

[TheDozer5]

nice hair ken

[boatstaylor]

I hope Ken keeps fighting and fighting!

[OMEGAHiV]

Is Ken missing a tooth?

[metalhedd365]

wtf???! first hw champ?? WRONG!! tuf 3 in 2005? WRONG!!!! DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH!!!

[ZeroZ06]

ken wasn't the 1st ufc heavyweight champ, mark coleman was

[OMEGAHiV]

@ZeroZ06 Ken was the 1st Superfight champion, which became the Heavyweight Belt. You are right though, Mark was the first official Heavyweight champ

[wubranch1]

@OMEGAHiV not true, ken shamrock was the first "SUperfight" champion which was amended to just being called the heavyweight champ.Semantics but he was the first heavyweight champ.

[quintus91]

@ZeroheZ06 he was the first superfight champion, it was unified with the championship

[TheSupersabby]

@ZeroZ06 actually ken was, mark won the first heavyweight championship fight, ken fought dan as we all know, ken won the "superfight" the ufc went back and changed it to the first heavyweight championship fight its kinda of confusing

[MrMoneymayne]

He was not champion in UFC 1. It was Royce Gracie. Idiots....Do your homework first. Damn fools.

[cole003f]

KEN SHAMROCK RULEZ

[prooc]

Lol, this is how the ufc treats it's aging fighters.

[TheBigPicture1]

frank shamrock GO HOME !! X(

[osuBuckeyesownsNCAA]

most ufc hall of famers ruin their legacy like Ken,Royce Gracie,Liddell,Coleman,Etc

[d314j4]

He's admitted he was juiced up, how can this man be considered a legend anymore? In athletics you're tarnished for life, and rightly so. But in MMA, you get what? A 6 month ban?

[Jazga]

@d314j4 Huge portion of the MMA fighters were juicing.

Also in Pride days, in Japan, it was not even illegal.

[KidBers]

@d314j4 Steroids r 4 winners :P

[wespozo]

@d314j4 This makes him even MORE of a ledgend in my book. He has the balls to admit it. While all the others play their games. In pro sports, most people are on some juice or another.

[deluxedookie]

@d314j4

well everyone is juicing in pro sports, even in high school & college thats why you dont see any long timers anymore washed up at 30 and have major injuries in there 20's

[closey240]

@d314j4 it's a 1 year ban
