Frank Shamrock
for a while i kind of lost faith in Frank... but he is back.

Frank is one of my favorite fighters because of what he represents and that is the martial arts.

people say MMA and dont even know what it means... they say Mixed MARTIAL ARTS but they dont know what it means.
There is no respect for the art that is actually a way of life, a warriors way of life.
You go to "MMA" gyms now and all you see is a bunch of meatheads wanting to learn how to kick asses and see how many tattoo's they can get to look tough and wear tapout, and a bunch of guys teaching with the same atitude.
Im glad Frank is back and im glad he is speaking out and representing.

way to go Frankie sorry i lost faith for a minute there

You have got to be joking man. Frank is very similar to Ken only he can fight but both are very into themselves and not humble at all.

I dont know where you have trained but most of the places Ive been it isn't like that at all. There are some with tats but they are for the most part very mild mannered and soft spoken. The meatheads usually dont last long when they realize that strenght isnt all its about.

Man Im starting to think you may have been picked on and took it too hard bro. But Im glad SCAMROCKS inspired you.

I don't know know what's up with Shamrock. After the Renzo incident and relentless childish smack talk on the youtube, I was sick of Frank. After this win, though, for some reason I can't help but sort of like the guy again even though I'm not sure I want to.

Diaz has started talking smack so maybe we'll see that fight eventually.

Say what you want about him, but the guy is a freak of nature. Very few have been blessed with his gifts and most forget that he is still relatively young. He is several years younger than Chuck and Randy.

Frank might act like a child and all that, but he is a great well rounded fighter. However, I think if he is in there with some ofthe top @ 185 he will be in trouble.

I have heard about the nick Diaz trash talking, and Diaz wont stand a chance. 185 is way too big for him

I agree. An easy and very marketable fight...I think that's exactly what Frank likes.

Frank is nothing like Ken.
That is just how it is in gyms these days.

Yes, he does act like a child! I don't like him, but I can't help but enjoy his antics...anybody ever see his fight with El Guapo? He wouldn't shut his mouth the entire 15 minutes (I think it was their second fight).

Was that the one where he kept making the faces on the ground when Bas was hitting him?

im not sure but i think Bass knocked him out of the ring. He can fight and he put Zinoviav or however you spell it out of fighting with a broken neck. however after his near loss to Tito he sat back on his heels and made out like a bandit on siminars and crap. hes not like the iceman when it comes to testing himself thats for sure.

Oh yeah, they both ended up out of the ring!

The caption says Pride fight, but it was definitely Pancrase.

i think that was the first time they fought. the next fight frank gets a shin to the head and sends him out of the ring.

Im not sure but I think Metzger plays with his hair more than Frank and Ken runs a close third lol ... homos

you are right its an old pancrase fight. It just makes me realize how good bas was back in the day.

With regard to Frank, it is highly doubtful he will ever fight a top tier 185lber. But that is Frank. I dont think he would stand a chance against the top guys at this point. Him v. A. Silva would get ugly IMO

As I recall, those punches Shamrock ate while making faces led to a cut that lost him the fight.
