Prime Ken Shamrock now

[UpInThis]

How would a prime steroid-bursting Shamrock do among modern heavyweights? I could see him beating a lot of them, though Miocic definetely could be a problem.

Poorly....

Poorly....

Based on what?

He was a good kicker and a very competent grappler. I had him winning the Gracie rematch. He also had abnormally high strength and stamina.

1995 Ken with 1995 training, knowledge and skillsets gets beat by every UFC HW on the roster. IMO.

if you can find his fight against Manabu Yamada, you should watch it.

1995 roided Ken with 2018 training, knowledge and skillsets is just too goofy for me to enjoy. so if that were the basis of your question, i pass.

EDIT: i was just reviewing UFC 7... Shamrock v Ruas sure would have been fun.

Awesome.... he almost beat Gracie.

Yeah, def had "abnormally" high strength and stamina.

He would prolly suck and lose all his matches

So people seriously think he would lose against Alistair Overeem, for example?

A t-rex armed brawler who likes leg locks would not fare well.

Hahahahahahaha

Oh wait, you're serious?

Shamrock would get absolutely obliterated by any heavyweight on the UFC roster, and yes, I'm talking about "prime" Shamrock. He's an icon of the sport and a pioneer, I'm not talking smack about the guy but the sport has evolved so much, Royce Gracie would also get annihilated by most guys on the roster, sports evolve and especially a sport as young as MMA.

Overeem would absolutely murder prime ken in less than a minute.

 

[tasticles]

He wouldn't get through Brock Lesanar, much less elite HWs

What?

 

[Fahcough]

He was boring AF. Glad he's done real fighting

Not only would he lose, there is high probability that he would die.

lol yes..... yes he would

Guys, this is a serious thread, take it as such.

 

[maximus874]

He would lose to EVERY 170 pounder and above on the regular roster . And EVERY champion. Including MM. its just a whole new world man. And I can't believe you think he could survive even a few second with Reem. Like jesus man. I know guys that are not even pro's that could just wreck him.

He could probably beat all of the WMMA fighters except Cyborg. Against the men? I don't know if they cold find anyone that him and Gracie could actually beat in the UFC. Mighty Mouse would destroy them.

Not talking smack, he was a real pioneer. But come on.

 

[The ScorpioN]

Gets starched by Tim Johnson level heavyweights.

Probably has a competitive fight with Baby Albini before getting KO’d.

He'd tapout to USADA before he even stepped in the octagon. If he somehow got past testing, he'd get smoked in the first round of every fight.
