MMA Quick Quote: Frank Shamrock rooting for Ken against Kimbo Slice to set up sibling rivalry

"I know that Ken has ten times the skills that Kimbo has, but can he put it together at this age with this many injuries, and you know with the way life is - it's always the big question. So honestly I don't know. I hope he smashes him and then we set up a fantastic PPV with him and I. You never know."
-- Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Frank Shamrock is still holding out hope that his adopted (and quasi-estranged) brother Ken can defeat the Miami street fighting legend Kimbo Slice this Saturday to set up a sibling rivalry fight early next year ... but he has his doubts. Frank has been talking about this fight ever since Pro Elite signed Ken back in January. Win or lose against Kimbo, the fight is still a possibility for sometime in 2009.

“Frank Shamerino should die of gonorreha and rot in hell”..

you know what I was thinking. Phil Baroni was told by Dana white that if he beat frank, he’d get back into the IFC. What if Dana called Ken and said something like “beat Kimbo, retire in the UFC.” It would be a good reason for Ken to go for the quick submission rather than try to stand and trade with Kimbo!

I would love to see the “sibling rivalry”. I like it, and so would you! What does it mean when he says, "but can he put it together at this age with this many injuries, ". Is he injured?

His injury is “brittle bones” due to age…

Not to the Shamrocks: No one cares about you guys anymore.

Not to jerrolds….. it’s spelled “note”
I swear any thread with Kimbo in it makes my eyes bleed, always full of terribly written posts.

you guys do realize that they are adoptive brothers, and hype machines. They could sell this fight and make a ton of money, and laugh about it over christmas dinner if they choose to do so. I’d watch to legends go at it!!

2 brothers fighting (in the ring is) stupid!

yeah was thinking that my self, we all fall out with siblings but i wouldn’t punch my bro in the face. its different from when kids fight but to do actual damage to your brother as an adult just seems crazy.

i dont think ken stands a chance in this fight. I would love to see ken win but i dont see it happening. Ken keeps saying he wants to stand with kimbo until their is an opening which would for the most part be smart if he didnt have a glass jaw. Ken needs to get the fight to the ground immediatly and i dont think he can kimbo is alot bigger and stronger than he is kimbo is also more athletic. I think Ken needs to shoot right away and not stop shooting in or clinching until the fight hits the ground i dont see ken having any chance in the stand up unless he keeps the distance and just leg kicks his way to a ud which is super super super unlikely

maybe they will fight and knock each other out at the same time

i dont see that happening because now a days you dont even need to hit ken to knock him out

Thanks for the idea man.. now I’m gonna pray for that to actually happen!

what’s the bad blood about between them anyway.
by rob on Oct 1, 2008 3:40 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I think they were arguing over their handmade doll in the 1930s in the great depression that they were both supposed to share, and Ken took it from Frank, words were exchanged and they’ve been enemies ever since.
Plus I think Frank is adopted, those kids are always trouble.

But why the f*ck do they look like each other? sorta…

little o frankie and kenny are getting OLD, but yet they cant still run there mouths like they’re in their prime. My hats off to them i guess…

I think that the two of them are the only ones who care about a fight between them. Maybe if it were 10-12 years ago there would be some intrigue, but at this point, who cares?

Frank you have to get your braces off before you can fight again. You can’t fight with a retainer in your mouth LOL

I would like to see that fight. Like 10 years ago. I actually like Franky. He is usually respectful to his opponents and the judges and all that. Plus, he didnt lose a fight for a decade. Literally. He is badass. His last two fights have been defeats tho… one against a whining gracie who was getting beat up, and then the fight with Lee, where he broke his arm and still fought for four rounds. That is serious business.
It doesnt surprise me to see haters tho. Its not about the skill and the willingness to fight anymore. Like it should be. Everyone has their fighters that they love, and the ones they love to hate. Im starting to fear for Kens life, with all the ass whoopings he has taken in the last 8 years of whatever. But, at least he is out there fighting and trying to put on a good show.
At the least, you have to respect that.

There’s not much intrigue because if Frank fought to his ability he would kill Kenny. But this is one fight where Frank could just be a stand up fighter and whip Kenny’s ass.

remember back in the day when Frank beat on Tito so bad they had to carry/help him out of the octagon because he was so exhausted??? Frank also took some damage in that fight, but seriously, Frank is a badass dude…

Nobody gives a shit to see Frank fight Ken. Talk about a pointless and completely lame fight, that would be it.

ken can win if he takes him down and controls him but his problem is that he likes to stand and brawl thats where hes gonna get knocked tha f@ck out…hes a legend already but he tarnishes his status by still fighting way beyond his time retire already…DAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

PPV?
Wait, let me put my glasses on, that can’t be right.
Holy shit, it is. He really said that.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ETC…..
Only two ways his “brother” could win this fight against Kimbo. By gunshot or multiple stab wounds. Man that was hilarious. Thankyou Shamrock “brothers” I really needed that laugh.

THATS THE ONLY FIGHT I WANNA SEE KEN IN

Frank is an idiot and I hate him more than any MMA fighter out there, followed closely by Rashad, and then Bisbing soon thereafter.
