Ken Shamrock laughs at BMF title.

This is the guy who lay on top of Royce for 30 minutes in their second fight and was petrified to do anything else, right?
 
Street fighting isn't that tough. it's bareknuckle boxing where your opponent has very little training and is probably a fat shit who will gas after holding is arms up longer than 10 seconds. you ain't gonna convince anyone that kimbo style street fights are harder than fighting against traditionally trained opponents back to back in a single night in a early 90s nhb org, because it's not and it's asinine to pretend otherwise. Give Ken his due.
 
Now I can't stop picturing Ken Shamrock going to Karate and Boxing gyms taking people down, then going to a wrestling school and starts punching people.
 
Yea totally has a fucking point. Look at spoiled Jorge Masvidal who never grew up fighting in backyards. Just was born and became a famous MMA fighter without having to work hard. Ken is a genius for this take.
fuckin lol. if it wasnt jorge and nate ken would have a valid point
 
He's not wrong. Imagine showing up to UFC 1. There's no context or base of knowledge to ease your mind - for all you know you could be fighting some Buddhist kung fu monk who can stop your heart with the power of his mind. It really was the wild west and you had to be incredibly brave or retarded to show up.

Straight up.

Those guys had to have incredible self belief. Then, after watching a few guys get pounded in front of the whole civilized world waiting for their bout to come up, to not jump ship and still go through with it is awesome. Even if they got their butts kicked.

Ken is far from a genius.

I laugh at Shamrocks career over the past 15 years... at least he had his WWE run.

Relative to his perspective, what he's saying is definitely valid.

Those times were rough in a way that no modern day MMA fighter can understand.
