With all of the hype around Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz colliding for the second time, one has to wonder why no talk is surfacing about the Shamrock that stopped a bigger and stronger Tito Ortiz in their encounter: Frank.
The UFC undefeated former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight king would be the breath of fresh air that the UFC needs at this point. Along with Wanderlai Silva, his name and credentials add excitement that the UFC needs. But more importantly, Shamrock and Silva will hopefully deliver in UFC bouts.
Ken Shamrock’s bout at UFC 61 against Tito left fans disappointed and that is not what the UFC needed. This card was the most anticipated in all of UFC history, and with that kind of anticipation, most would agree that it failed to deliver.
A strong showing would have been the push that the UFC and MMA needed to advance forward. Boxing, even in its sad state, stands above MMA as a so called “legitimate” sport.
Frank Shamrock is the man who can help give MMA the push it needs. Let’s see if he’s ready for the challenge. http://www.UltimateFightingChampionship.com has posted exclusive updates on this possible match up.
