Next fight Frank will take him down and will end it quick to set up a 3rd highly anticipated fight. Great exposure for elitexc, but they can only ride an old shamrock and old/overrated Kimbo for so long with real fans!!

Guess all those leg kicks got Shamrock a little humble pie??? Sucks that he had to have surgery but you should never ever say what your going to do before a fight and go through with it. It was a dumb move on his part and hopefully he’ll learn his lesson. Shamrock still has some good fights in him and hopefully he can be used properly against some other young and hungry fighters.

I agree Frank needs to reign in his ego sometimes but he’s a greatcharacter for the sport and is giving EliteXC some excellent exposure, expect the hype machine to go into overdrive when a re-match is announced!

Not saying your wrong, I agree 100%. But did anybody else notice how James Irvin said exactly what he was going to do, and then did in 8 seconds. Before the fight he said “Houston’s game is stand up, and that’s exactly how I am going to beat him, at his own game”. Awesome

Not only that. Irvin also said that it was all a matter of who connected the first shot the best, something like that.

I’ll applaud him for trying to beat an awesome striker at his own game, but that was his title that he lost, that piece of dumb shit. He needs to get his damn ACL fixed so he can shoot in on people and keep his belt. Idiot.

does it really matter one kick from Cung Le you’d be crying like a little girl and it probably would just be bruised

LOL.

Anyways, in Muay Thai you are always thought NEVER, EVER to block a kick with one arm. I believe Cung Le mentioned that at the end of fight interview. Thats because the power angle kick combined with the sharpness and hardness of shin > the forearm by a lot.

I like Frank, especially after this fight and the previous one with Baroni.. but then I don’t know much about his other fights, I must admit…
I wish him to come back as strong and as cocky as ever!!
WAR FRANK!!!

Dana is a real good business man. But IMO he needs to do credit to the sport by working with other firms and giving the fans the fights they want to see. I think it was time he and the fertita bro’s got off their high horse or they will be knocked off some time or other. I want to see how long Le would last against Silva. Just started training MMA 1 month ago now. its AWESOME. hope to put some of my theories to the test in maybe a years time. let you know how it goes

Good video. He seems a lot less cocky when’s he’s not getting his arm kicked in half.

Like the Toulouse Lautrec, though. Can’t say the same for the Creed at the end.

For some odd reason ive never really liked Frank shamrock’s personality, but after that video my view on him changed he seemed somewhat humbled even after a big loss like that( guess i would be too if i just made 250,000 dollars). But the song over the credits at the end of the video crushed my new opinion… CREED? Really Frank? CREED? hahahahahaha

But I rarely see two-hand blocks in MMA, and this is the first time I’ve seen a guy break his arm from a kick.

If the UFC sold us 3 B.S Ken Sharock vs. Ortiz fights that were pathetic, ElitEC has every right to milk this saga as much`as they possibly can.

Seriously, who can complain about seeing Le vs. Shamrock once or twice more? Not me, the 1st fight was a great scrap!

Im not a fan of Shamrock either but after seeing that video I think he isnt as big headed outside of a fight. I may be wrong but I think he puts up a lot of that personality just to get into the fighter head. I know im stating the obvious in a psychological game in fighting but he may actually be an alright guy outside MMA. Still, I dont like him!

Indeed it was… I just see the next fight being more of a grappling match, but who knows, the Ego may take over and stand up war part 2 is just around the corner..[quote comment=”402135″][quote comment=”401635″][quote comment=”401620″][quote comment=”401541″]Last name shamrock equals not to bright[/quote]

You must not have seen the Gonzaga vs Couture fight. But I do agree with one thing, I have never seen a guy in mma block a leg kick with both arms.

He’s an entertainer thats for sure. Hear him brag about the money that they made for themselves and EliteXC? He’s a showman and a businessman, pretty much before he’s a winner I guess, but you’ll never be bored watching him thats for sure. And you know he’s thinking about the rematch right away like others have said, he’ll take it to the ground this time and most likely win, if he can get it to the ground, and it will build up a really hyped third fight. He may be a Shamrock but he’s smart, he knows what the majority of the fans want.

Frank Shamrock ended a K-1 fight against Shannon Ritch by breaking Ritch’s arm with a kick.

Are you crazy? Rematch? cmon, i dont think he wants more leg kicks to the right arm. And I dont know if he should be still fighting the the arm broken at the extent that it is, can cripple him for life…his right will never be the same anymore, thats for sure.
