Ken Shamrock laughs at BMF title.

Imagine walking your dog in the park and then Ken Shamrock comes jumping out of the bushes shouting ‘Come on! Shoot on me!’

I would wet my self.
Thats the truth
 
Ken Shamrock will get hate cause he is washed up

but cage fighting in those days was barbaric. these guys gave no shit, knowing there wasnt money in it, they fought to prove they were BMF

he is right

Nate Diaz sits out for years and posts on Twitter

Ken Shamrock would have fought for a fresh pair of socks
 
I have to agree with him, that BMF title is an embarrassment to the sport.
 
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.
and him wondering why everyone thinks he's an asshole all the while.
 
What's really sad is spending 15 years trying to stay relevant and failing at it consistently.
He did it since 2002

And has made money

he never failed
He fought Tito at 39 and was way past prime
He was good talker
 
Have some respect! It's The World's Most Dangerous Man!

I agree with what it seems he's trying to say. There were no MMA gyms and you'd be hard pressed to even find someone to teach you BJJ outside of Brazil. There were no major promotions to hope to contract with and there was no road to real money. You just fought.

He wasn't talking about street fighting, he was comparing fighting in a park as training to an MMA camp nowadays with nutritionists, a team of coaches, tape on your opponent, a gym.

It was like an old school punk rock tour. Sleeping in a crappy van with crappy gear for crappy pay just trying to find the next venue that will even allow you in. And that's as good as it gets.
 
Say what you want and make all that fun you want about Ken .... but those times were brutal for a mma pro. From training to rules to pay. Mma still needs to get better for fighters but now it’s much better than what Barnett, Taktarov, Ken, Ruas, Severn, Kimo and others lived through back then.
 
Such a boomer.

Ken quit all the damn time.

Gaethje is 100 times tougher then him
 
Well it's pretty laughable to consider Jorge or Nate a BMF now.

One's a diva who turned down a title shot because he wants to get paid more despite already getting a huge pay bump this last year and already making more than 90% of the roster.

The other one only talks shit to other fighters in his division but would never agree to fight them cause he knows damn well they would f*** him up.

Baddest Motherf***ers alright....

well, kindah inaccurate, tho... When Wayne Shamrock went to Funaki´s gym as a rookie, he was 1st tested by Funaki & Suzuki... the rough way, to make him quit, literally, & he reportedly didnt...

Well I dunno. Who's the source on that?

Is it Ken himself?

Ken quit against Fujita after apparently having a heart attack.

hmm..yeah, Suzuki is/was not the type of guy to take things lightly, tbh.... even in sparrin´...

Against Fujita, was not a heart attack, tho... The truth is that he was already past his physical prime in Pride.

It iz what it iz.

He seems to be calling out Mas, and then goes on to say how guys would have to go and fight people in parks in order to get prepared for fights. Weird. 'Cause that's pretty much how Mas came up. Parks, backyards, the beach. He acts like Mas didn't come up the hard way like him.
<{nope}>

We don't know anything about that. We have no idea if he'd fight in a sport that virtually doesn't exist, with close to no fans, for barely any money (if any money, as prize money was often all you got--no show).
