I'll Give Ken Shamrock One More Fight

I spoke on Ken Shamrock yesterday in response to him talking smack about his adoptive brother Frank. I also mentioned that Ken Shamrock had a fight the same night(last night), and prayed that he get the win so he could retire. Well, there is a GOD because Ken Shamrock won his first fight in almost 5 years! He armbarred some nobody within the first minute of the fight after dropping him with a big right hand. At this point, I'm like ok please announce your retirement and go out with a win.

Shamrock proceeds to do just the opposite and calls out Tank Abbott, who had won via KO earlier in the night. This is a fight that should have happened a LONG time ago. Frankly, this is the ONLY fight in which I would halfway look forward to in regards to both fighters. So I'll give Shamrock one more fight as long as it's Tank Abbott he's fighting. That's a fight with some history between two guys that are in the same weight class, unlike Ken trying to fight a middleweight in Frank.

I'm giving Ken Shamrock one more fight. Would you like to see him fight Tank, or just go out with the win right now? Build with me.

I would want to see it. I would by no means consider this a serious fight, maybe on the same level as Kimbo/Shamrock, but it would be entertaining. I’d have to give it to Ken.

...some call me "el mexicutioner"...

yea, the only reason I’d want to see it is because it’s a fight that’s been talked about for FOREVER.

Ken should’ve retired when he lost to Tito for the second time. Tank should have hung up the gloves when Buentello beat him. They’re both running on extra time.

I’d rather have neither of them get in the ring or cage any longer. If they must, let’em fight one another one last time – and then call it quits.

Unfortunately, Ken will probably keep thinking he still can fight – and the same goes for Tank.

Yea, as I said I’d give them both this one last fight between them and then call it quits.
