Ken Shamrock vs. Ross Clifton

ross_cliftonI got home early tonight to  watch Ken Shamrock fight a fat giant dude they call “Grizzly Bear”. The guy is like 6’8″ tall and looks like he’s pushing 400lbs…surely Shamrock can take this fight easily…I hope. Whoever this chick doing the post-fight interviews is though, she might could kick Shamrock’s ass. Homegirl has some cannons for arms. Her name is Jennifer Alcorn, and she’s evidently a boxer.

Right now, Tonya Evinger is in there talking to some chick she was supposed to fight, but they’re not fighting for some reason, and instead Tonya says they’re gonna do sexy poses. She also says something about her and the other chick at a hotel room later tonight.

From what I’m reading, I’m glad I missed most of the event, I’ve heard it sucked so far…worse than the YAMMA… and right now there has been nothing on the screen for 15 minutes except for the empty cage, and Papa Roach playing in the background. Bring back Tonya Evinger to do sexy poses,imo.

OK I left to go eat some chili, but I came back to find out Tank Abbott was about to fight some other fat guy named Mike Bourke. WTF? I thought this fight had been called off…anyway, Tank knocked him out in 26 seconds with a forearm club to the back of the head.

HERE COMES THE GRIZZLY BEAR CLIFTON! Man, this dude is fat…and tall. Now Ken Shamrock is entering the arena. Fight starts, the fat guy, Ross Clifton (who I think is the actor who plays Hurley on LOST) is chasing after Shamrock, Shamrock nails him with a right hand on the side of the chin, knocks Clifton down and takes side control. Ken Shamrock gets an armbar and Clifton taps out.

OMG I just saw the fat guy try to kiss Shamrock’s little girl? The girl looked absolutely horrified. Please tell me someone is able to make a .gif of that moment.

Frank Shamrock vs. Ken Shamrock: “Contract Signed”

An article on ESPN.com says that a contract has been signed for Frank Shamrock to fight his brother Ken Shamrock in what would be the first known professional MMA fight to feature brother against brother. The article says the fight will probably take place sometime in April of 2009, under the EliteXC brand.

They have each signed a contract, in principle, to settle their family feud in a most public fashion: they will face off, in a cage, in a pay-per-view contest.

There are plenty of particulars to iron out, like the date (probably sometime in April), the venue (none has been chosen) and the promotional and broadcast partners to be involved (Elite XC, CBS, and Showtime, with perhaps some other co-promoters), before what is believed to be the first brother vs. brother faceoff in fight history becomes a 100 percent done deal.

“We’ve both signed a contract to fight each other,” younger brother Frank Shamrock told ESPN.com. “Ken is down with it. We talked about it two years ago, and we’ve agreed materially to fight.”

“Will the fight happen? Absolutely,” Ken Shamrock told ESPN.com. “He’s got a buttkicking coming to him. Everything I’ve learned, everything I have bottled up in me, is going to come out on him. I’ve still got love for Frank, but I’m angry at him.”

Ken Shamrock Injured; Will Not Fight Kimbo Slice Tonight?

According to MMARated.com, Shamrock was cut above his eye and doctors wouldn’t clear him to fight. Damn. But there is some hope! MMARated has updated their site to say that EliteXC may have found a doctor to give Shamrock the OK to fight, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed, and also they say Seth Petruzelli was offered as a replacement. Seth Petruzelli, in my opinion, has a better chance of kicking Kimbo’s ass. Frank Shamrock is also rumored to have stepped up and volunteered, but will not be fighting.

Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock OCT. 4 at EliteXC Saturday Night Fights

Wow. The fight is scheduled to take place October 4th in Sunrise, Florida for EliteXC’s fourth “Saturday Night Fights” show on CBS. I am still a big Ken Shamrock fan, and would love to see him pull out a victory over Kimbo Slice, but I don’t see it happening. I think Shamrock will rush in and meet a punch that sends him to the mat. Referee will stop the fight, Shamrock will protest an early stoppage.

I was hoping some of the other rumors about Kimbo’s next opponent would be true. I had heard possibilities of Wesley “Cabbage” Correira, Sean Gannon, or Brett Rogers. Unfortunately, they’re feeding Kimbo a legend in Ken Shamrock.

Ken Shamrock To Fight This Weekend, Will Be Broadcast On Showtime

Ken Shamrock fights Robert “Buzz” Berry at this weekends Cage Rage event for EliteXC which takes place at Wembley Arena in London. Also on the fight card is Ken’s 19-year-old son, Ryan Shamrock, who will have an untelevised fight against Giorgio Andrews.

The current rumors are that if Ken Shamrock wins this weekend, his next opponent will likely be Kevin Ferguson aka Kimbo Slice. EliteXC recently made a deal with CBS that will put the sport of Mixed Martial Arts on a major TV network during prime time, and they would like to have a big name match-up of Kimbo/Shamrock to draw in viewers, and it would. I don’t care that Ken Shamrock is past his prime, and I don’t care that Kimbo is relatively new to the sport of MMA, people will watch this fight.

Oh, and if Shamrock vs. Kimbo does indeed happen, Shamrock by heel hook.
