MMA Quick Quote: Ken Shamrock makes the world's most dangerous prediction

by Jesse Holland on Mar 17, 2009 10:20 PM EDT

"If you ask [my brother Frank Shamrock], I smoke crack, I do steroids and I cut myself (to get out of the Kimbo Slice fight). I mean you name it, I've done it -- just ask him."

-Mixed martial arts legend Ken Shamrock -- just hours before news broke about him testing positive for three illegal anabolic steroids — Norandrosterone, Noretiocholanolone and Stanozolol following his first round armbar submission win over Ross Clifton at War Gods: "Valentine’s Eve Massacre," reveals to host Larry Pepe on MMAmania.com's exclusive presentation of Pro MMA Radio that his estranged brother Frank likes to tell people about Ken's alleged addictions and erratic behavior. If the recent drug test is any indication, Lil' Shammy doesn't sound so crazy after all.

Not sure about the crack. Not sure about the Kimbo fight. Steroids…Yes! Proven. Whick makes me believe that Frank may be on to somehting with the other two!

If he actually cut himself on purpose, someone in his camp would have leaked it by now. Im not defending Ken because the guy is a joke, but I dont think he would cut himself to avoid a fight. I think he actually beleives hi is a bad ass.

Regarding Frank accusing Ken of cutting himself before the fight: He said that Ken was not happy about the money he was getting paid to fight Kimbo. Days before the event, he was asking Elite for more money and they said no. The theory is not that Ken was trying to duck the fight with Kimbo, the theory is that Ken cut himself to try and screw over EliteXC and ruin thier main event. If that was the case, not only did he ruin the main event, but the outcome of the fight was the ultimate demise of EliteXC.

As for smoking crack, someone please tell me which Shamrock does NOT smoke crack?? j/k

Though he’s a former UFC champion. But definitely a douche…

I’ll never forget Frank Shamrock slamming that Russian dude on his head and KO’ing him!!

There was a time when he actually was a bad ass. The problem is that it was a long time ago, and he still doesn’t realize that.

yes Ken is washed up, but come on guy? u guys cant seriously be listening to what Frank has to say? Frank is one of the biggest Liars in the sport. Ken is washed up, but not for a second do I think he actually cut himself to avoid Kimbo!

Mma fighters aren’t exactly ducking for cover when kimbo strolls through. No one in the sport would duck kimbo…he has no skills…as a matter of fact, fighters jump at the chance to fight Kimbo cause he has a big name.

I see what you are saying John, but at the strikeforce press conference, Frank acted pretty classy believe it or not and chose not to say anything about his bros steroid use, though im pretty sure he believed it, and as far as Frank being a liar, I dont think hes a liar, just an asshole, and one of my favorite fighters haha

John, I just posted above on why Ken would have cut himself before the Kimbo fight…

Whats sad is that steroids make people deppresed witch some cut themselves and some do drugs (crack) so he prob is doing those things that being said he is a legend and I think Frank shouldnt be talking becouse Im pretty sure he has roided too, he looks like he has!!!

When I was about 10 years old, I would go over to my Uncles house to watch UFC because hes ordered everyone from UFC 1, and I remember really enjoying watch Ken fight, then as I grew up I got into my WWF phase and enjoyed him on there, but i think years of fighting have started to take its toll similar to Muhammad Ali, Yea he still wants to fight, but you gotta know when to cut (no pun) ur losses and move on with life. Allegation, whether proven or not will just cloud ur legacy if you continue fighting long after you should

Was that a confession?

Drug abuse makes you age faster; I will say for being in good shape, Shammy looks like an old old man in the face; proof of his alleged drug abuse. More than likely Frank is spot on in all/most of his accusations. I can understand not wanting to be related to Ken at this point; he’s really tarnishing the family name now.

while drug abuse will do that to you, so will having people beat your face in for over ten years

LOL, was about to say the same!

Did Kenny really need all those roids to beat that Clifton bloke? I mean Jesus Christ, the bloke could hardly move. Anyone off the street could have armbarred that walking blob of grease. He made the heavyweights from cage rage look respectable. Bad move Ken!

I am surprised Ken hasn’t made any public comments/excuses since the test results were released. It wouldn’t be a big shock to me if he did indeed cut himself. Frank could have easily thrown him under the bus the night of the show but he didn’t. From what I understand Frank was ready to step up and fight Kimbo.
