Frank Shamrock Talks About His History With Strikeforce And Scott Coker

Why does frank always get introduced as a legend? He hardly had any notable fights (hardly* is being generous).

At his time Frank was the best UFC champ.He was 5-0 all finishes in his title fights.He’s also one of the 1st to be good in the 3 aspects of MMA.He deserves to be in the “UFC hall of fame” but the hall of fame is a joke.

Shamrock just bummed out because the gig’s up for him and he has nowhere to go! maybe Dana will let him wipe his arse! where do you from here Frank? into oblivion!!!!!

This is about as good a reflection as to why Coker and Strikeforce failed it is in this interview.

i’ll never forget when Frank Shamrock fought Igor Zinoviev, who i believe was undefeated at the time, and Frank slammed him on his shoulder and ended his career. For those who are too young, Frank was literally like water. He was a true martial artist..much respect!

Look at his record. He fought nobodies. No one here made a cogent argument. I know he was UFC champ, but look who he fought. Case closed.

This guy is f*****. Opened your mouth too much now what Shamrock? 15 minutes of fame is over, we’ll all forget who the eff you are in no time… that’s what you get for ripping on the UFC and Dana white. See ya…

Dunno why some guys hate fighters.

Franks done more than most in MMA.

For all the guys hating on Frank try using Google if you know what that is cause you don’t seem to know much.

And Frank can still take you tough guys posting here out be a man go spar with him if u got any balls.

Dude Shamrock was a stud. If you think he fought nobodies then you either haven’t looked at his record or are too new to know who his opponents were. Notable wins over top talent include Tito, Bas Rutten, Funaki, Vernon White, Kosaka, Enson Inoue, Kevin Jackson, Igor, Horn, Sinosic, Cesar Gracie, Baroni…those were all top guys when he fought them, the last two were when he was aging but Baroni still had a lot in the tank.

He was obviously the top middleweight in the world for a couple of years, no question. He even took out Tito when Tito was unstoppable, and Tito outweighted him by a ton. Probably 20 pounds. Go watch that fight, it’s awesome.

Also his fights with Renzo, Cung Le and Diaz were pretty good. Those fights helped build MMA on Showtime.

He started fighting in 1994, retired in 2003, then came back out to help his buddy start a new show. That takes balls. Huge balls. Especially when the progress of the sport from 2003-2006 was exponential. Guys were getting a TON better during that time. He had to know he was in for a pounding.

And speaking of progress, he pioneered the modern MMA style. He was arguably the first well rounded fighter, even Bas during that era had a big weakness in wrestling. Tito couldn’t strike or sub worth a damn. Frank was doing it all. A complete technician.

He can be a bit of a boob, sure, but the guy could fight. No question.
