Ken Shamrock in UFC - Page 2

I hate Tito aswell. One reason beside him being a punk is because he ducked Chuck (The Chuck Duck). Tito only fights people that he knows he can beat. Shamrock is 40 years old, during the time of the fight he had to cut 20 pounds, and fought with a knee injury. (Im a Shamrock fan). When your offered $80,000 just to step into a ring, you become alittle more copperative.

ken didn't cut 20lbs. ken actually fought closer to his natural wieght than he has in a very long time. i think the knee injury and the fact that he's the one that dictates the pace at the lion's den is what cost him the fight.

while i was pulling for ken i had no dillusions about the possibility of tito winning. tito is alot better than most people give him credit for. unfortunately his attitude overshadows his talent.

Ken fights at 220, at the time he fought around 195 i think. But the fact that he dictates the pace is a really good example.

He fights Couture in one month

The fight Ortiz/Shamrock was very interesting in one point: Ortiz acted completly in the Couture Style. Clinches in stand up position combined with upper cuts and knees, mountain position on the ground with forearm punches and ellbows.
Couture is the better wrestler but Ortiz really wants to win. Randy is forty and it could be this will be his last fight.
