Ken calling out Frank... again

http://www.mmafighting.com/2010/06/03/ken-shamrock-knows-how-to-stay-in-the-news-call-out-frank/


Ken Shamrock hasn't fought since he was suspended for failing a drug test more than a year ago, and as a 46-year-old who hasn't beaten a relevant opponent in ages, he's not exactly a major figure in the MMA world these days. But Shamrock is nothing if not a great self-promoter, and he showed at the UFC Fan Expo that he still knows how to get people to pay attention to him: By calling out his adopted brother, Frank Shamrock.

"I have somebody that's in my family that's always been ducking me. He was very disrespectful to my father who took care of him his whole life and gave him an opportunity at life. I'd love to get my brother in the ring and beat the stuffing out of him, and then hug him after it's over and say, 'You know what? This is how you respect people.'"

Those comments are already making headlines, and Ken Shamrock knows that a Shamrock vs. Shamrock fight is the one bout that would get him a decent amount of media attention. There's almost no chance that it's going to happen, though,as Frank Shamrock works for Strikeforce and CBS/Showtime, two companies that don't want to be in business with Ken Shamrock.

So Ken Shamrock probably isn't going to get his first choice of opponents. But he says he's not done fighting, and he mentioned Tank Abbott, Dan Severn, Mark Coleman and Pedro Rizzo as men he'd like to fight in the future. After the UFC beat him in court he presumably needs the money, and although I personally don't think a Shamrock vs. Abbott fight is something the fans should be clamoring for, if that's the way Shamrock is going to make his living, then more power to

Hey the ufc sued the fucking bricks off him of course he needs the money.

What does Bird think of this?

this is the Jones-Hopkins of MMA

I really have no interest in seeing two bitter brothers fight. Not even if they were in their primes. I've always thought the whole Shamrock vs. Shamrock thing was more depressing than intriuging and it's even more depressing that their dad just died and it did nothing to bring them together.

Ken has to realize Frank would beat the living shit out of him right?

I'm surprised Ken still knows his own name actually, dudes fallen way off

Fighter wants to fight, what can you expect?

from what Ive heard, Ken tried to get Frank to see Bob Shamrock before he passed and Frank didnt, cant really blame Ken IMO. The fight will never happen. Bob Shamrock took in and housed over 100 children, think its pretty fucked up someone that he actually adopted (Ken and Frank were the only children Bob legally adopted if i remember right) wouldnt come see him on his death bed

Ken vs Tank Abbott would have already happened if Ken didnt fail the test, I think that one will happen eventually.
