If Larry King wrote for 5 Oz….

Editor’s Note: The following column is complete satire and is intended to mock Larry King’s old columns in the USA Today, which half our audience is too young to have even remembered.

Ken Shamrock in new 5 Oz. Exclusive Interview: “Kimbo Slice is basically gift wrapped for me”

The word pioneer is thrown around loosely these days, but in the case of Ken Shamrock, it’s an apt description.

I am a writer but I am also a fan and I can remember watching UFC 40 in 2002 when Tito... [Read More...]
