With Ken's latest records though, he is either not good anymore or they are clearly paying him to lose. Would it really surprise you if you found out that Shamrock was paid to take a loss? Before people start bashing, saying that I am defending Shamrock, I am not. It is clear that he is past his prime and needs to finally "hang it up". I just want to see someone end the hype that Kimbo is this perfect unstoppable fighter. I am hoping Ken wins, only because I am not buying into the Kimbo hype.

I dont want to see this fight. in the Shamrock vs Tito fights.... sad to say but Shamrock was NOT THE DRAW. I watched that Shamrock vs Berry fight last night on showtime and shamrock must have laid a lot of money down on Berry because he 100% took a dive. Kimbo by KO 15 seconds round 1 Sadly…. I dont want to see this fight.

Apart from the layoff after the Tito fight (which is scarcely 18 months) I think his 'taking a rest' is all smoke and mirrors. Sadly, he'll get his ass handed to him yet again. I can't stand people tarnishing their legacy by coming back. Hex – he got his ass handed to him back in March at Cage Rage.

Franklin being compared to this match-up? That fight was like 4 yrs ago when Franklin was on the way up and Shamrock was at least able to walk under his own power and btw was in shape!!! Didn’t that fight take place @ 185? And Shamrock is ab out to fight @ 230 lbs or so. That tells u one thing outta shape lookin for a paycheck! I luv Shamrock but please just go away!!! Slice is a joke! Fight Rogers! </b> No, it was Franklin's last fight at 205 before dropping to MW, and according to shamrock his body is in better shape than 4 years ago because he's finally taken the time off of fighting to let all his injuries heal. The point of this fight is all the buzz it generates, and lookie lookie its already working. Personally I can't wait for this fight, although I don't see it going well for shammy. # traingleman on August 26th, 2008 5:53 am

Do I cheer for Shamrock to do what EliteXC clearly thinks he can't, or do I cheer for Kimbo to knock Shamrock into retirement? It's just too bad there isn't some way both outcomes could happen. Now THAT would be win/win What a position this fight leaves me in. Do I cheer for Shamrock to do what EliteXC clearly thinks he can’t, or do I cheer for Kimbo to knock Shamrock into retirement?

Thing is I CAN see Shamrock trying to duke it out on the feet with Kimbo through arrogance and dillusion that he has better hands than him. Kimbo's hands aren't amazing but he will catch Ken and quickly if they exchange. I would love to see Shamrock bullrush Kimbo against the fence, trip him to the floor into side then mount and finish by TKO or spinning kneebar ala him vs Rutten. But its false hope; Kimbo 1st round TKO. They have to hand his ass to Rogers after this.. I can’t see Shamrocks glass jaw lasting outside the first round in this fight.

It will not be a good fight. It's just two names. Really shooting themselves in the foot with this one. Say what you want about the UFC but they book real fights not freak shows like this.
