Frank Shamrock Is Cleared To Fight
Frank Shamrock is coming off his first legitimate loss(discounting the DQ against Renzo Gracie) against Cung Le this past March. This is what Shamrock had to say:
I just came back from getting a bone density scan in my arm – I am cleared for combat,” said Shamrock, “so Cung Le, Scott Smith, Robbie Lawler, Kimbo Slice – whoever’s been eating their Wheaties better get ready.
It’s funny he mentions Kimbo Slice when that fight has zero chance of happening. Slice is a HW, and no way would EliteXC put him up against Shamrock with his ground game being about infant level. Shamrock also goes on to say this:
I think the Ken (Shamrock) fight is very important to get done as soon as possible. I’d like to get that fight in first, and I’d like to get a fight in by the end of the year.
Why in God’s green earth would you want to fight Ken Shamrock? This fight might have been interesting about a decade ago…but not now. Especially since Ken has shown the propensity to get KTFO by glancing blows thrown by midgets nowadays. Since Frank got outclassed in his last fight, I suppose he’s gonna go back to fighting cans again to feed his ever growing ego.
Props To 5ouncesofpain for the assist.

Does Frank just want to be the one to end Ken’s career or what?
It’s not like the public is foaming at the mouth to see this fight.
I can’t imagine it would be a big money making fight for either of them so I can’t see the reason for it anymore. At one time it might have been interesting but no longer.
Is this a case of little brother just wanting to embarrass big brother in public to repay him for something that has happened previously?
Cause for other than personal reasons Frank may have I see no reason for a Shamrock vs. Shamrock fight.
Also I see no point in adding Kimbo in that list of names other than he knows it will get people to talk about it. Because like it was stated the fight has zero percent chance of happening.

They would get paid handsomely more than likely…but whomever promoted that show would lose a ton of money. Nobody wants to see that fight.
