Frank Shamrock cleared to fight
Coming off a broken arm in losing the Strikeforce middleweight championship to Cung Le, Frank Shamrock was not sure when he would be able to fight again. That question has now been answered.
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.”
Shamrock also wasted little time in specifically calling out the person he wants to fight next.
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.”
Having Shamrock available to fight is a definite bonus to both Strikeforce and EliteXC. Not many fighters in the history of MMA are as good at promoting a fight as Shamrock is. Shamrock is a huge draw in San Jose with Strikeforce, and EliteXC would certainly love to have him available to headline the next non-Kimbo Slice CBS card.

I would pay large amounts of $$ to see Ken fight Kimbo

Ken fighting Kimbo would make no sense at all. Frank vs Kimbo would be an excellent match up. Striker vs Grappler….thats if Frank actually has some ground game left.

Now we get to hear Frank talk his smack-game again. I have admit, he does a great job in doing so. Seeing that he said Robbie and Scott’s name in the statement above. Does that mean he could fight for EXC? I thought he was with Strikeforce and they were a seperate org? I know they’ve co-promoted show’s together but, does Showtime/Pro-Elite own a peice of Strikeforce?
If Gary, Sam or anyone else could clear that up for me, thanks!

Davey – Frank has one more fight left with Strikeforce as well as another year with EliteXC. The next fight would be a co-promotion then he’s with just Elite.
