Ken Shamrock to fight again & Kimbo vs Tank!?

A couple days ago I was relaxing to Elite XC. I find this mma brand to be just as exciting as the UFC, if not better. Anyway, Ken Shamrock is going to be fighting on March 8th and a couple more fights at heavyweight, then finally fighting his bro Frank at 205! First off, I am a Ken Shamrock fan. Although he does act like a little kid sometimes, I still like him. I would love to see him win since he's over the hill. He mentioned how he feels the best he's felt in years and is ready to "roll some heads". Lets hope he does at heavyweight. Next, he wants to fight his brother? I don't know about this one...Frank is younger, more skilled, and smarter in the cage. Honestly, this is going to be like fighting Ortiz in their first bout at UFC 40, at brutal beating... Finally, my man Kimbo is fighting Tank Abbot! Holy ****, I couldn't believe this since their first fight at CFFC was canceled. I can't get enough of Kimbo and would love to meet him. I think he'll run through Tank. Your thoughts!

Ken Shamrock to fight again %26amp; Kimbo vs Tank!?
Ken is pretty much washed up. We all saw what he COULDN'T do when he fought Tito Ortiz. Oh, don't get me wrong. I would have LOVED to have seen Ken pull at least one of his specialty submission moves on Tito when they fought, but he's either forgotten how to use any of them, or he just plain never got the chance to use them since he was busy kissing Tito's fist with his face.



As for Tank and Kimbo, I give Tank a fighting chance IF he can put it away in the first round. After that, we all know Tank gets winded easily, and I think that's when a much younger Kimbo goes to work. I'd love to see Tank put Kimbo away quickly, but somehow I don't see this happening. Especially since EliteXC is more than likely counting on more than a few more matches featuring Kimbo in them.



This is the first I'd heard about Ken taking on his brother Frank. Last I heard, EliteXC was planning a LONG overdue match-up between a pair of now has-beens: Ken and Tank. Has-beens or not though, EITHER of them could probably still defeat anyone here answering your question.
Reply:I think ken is going to win because he has more experience and tank abbot is more stronger
Reply:Of the four names you mentioned, I'd rank them in this order:



Frank J Shamrock

Ken Shamrock

Kimbo Slice

D Tank Abbott



Kimbo isn't as strong as tank, but he's been trained by Bas Rutten. I guarantee he knows how to handle himself. Of course Tank has a punchers chance.



Frank and Ken are both good, but I think Frank is quite a bit faster.
Reply:Ya the website i go to was talking about the Kimbo vs. Tank, and I agree with their assesment that its going to be a walk for Kimbo. At this stage both are side shows, with Kimbo only having one MMA fight, and that wasn't exactly a marquee matchup,and Tank being old and having lost alot of his matches. I agree with your assessment of Frank, but I'm wondering how the weight gain will affect him. Doesn't he usually fight at a lower weight. ?
Reply:Ok frank will walk all over ken. Ken was a good fighter back in the day but like a lot of the other people have said that he is over the hill, but this is mma and all it takes is a haymaker from no where to end the fight.



As for kimbo. Yeah kimbo is a big boy probably has hands of steel. This is going to be a quick fight with kimbo knocking out tank. I really would like to see what would happen when kimbo gets matched against top notch mma fighter. His first fight against bo cantrel was crazy. To me it looks like elite xc when out and got their worst heavy weight and put them in there to take a beating, and this fight with tank is crazy. Yeah it would be a great fight if tank was in his prime, but he's not. I would like to see what Kimbo could do against guys like tim silva and frank mir, but they are in a different organization and probably will never happen. Oh by the way did you watch the kimbo slice vs sean gannon fight......kimbo got destroyed
Reply:i saw that show too. ken is past his prime and will never be as intimidating like in the early ufc. i don't really think he meant he would be fighting his brother at 205, i think frank fought at 185 in his last fight against phil baroni. anyway ken will be fighting in the heavyweight division, but i doubt he will have a successful lengthy run at it. if the shamrocks did fight each other i would have to give it to frank he is younger and more athletic with better cardio.

as for kimbo and tank, tank is past his prime too. kimbo being younger and have the opportunity to trained by bas rutten, his skill should pick up and be sharper. tank will run out of gas ( no pun intended) and lose.
Reply:Ken should retire he was awesome but pushing it like this is not in his best interest. Kimbo Slice can and most probably will get very ugly on Tank, yet Tank can knock people out remember when he knocked out Steve Nelmark...that dude looked like a corpse. Kimbo believe it or not is not even 35 yet he has time on his hands, watch out for Kimbo.....
