This man is thinking clear. I value his opinion and am growing from what he says as it stimulates my mind. Much respect for Ken Shamrock! Ken is not afraid to simply be honest and in politics that’s rare!

For any Ken haters.. just consider..

* When Ken and Tito faught.. the numbers the UFC pulled shot through the roof!! Insane growth. Their 3 fights brought HUGE money even in comparison with all fights before them. Blew it out of the ball park!!

Ken has earned his legend. It is less frequently discussed that he was the first real one to crack the gracie code! He destroyed Royce (at least royces face) by not giving him anything in a 45 plus minute fight .. He played royces waiting game and dominated.. No one had done this or tried this.. simply amazing back then!!

I think Dana white exposes himself as a douche who doesn’t think before he speaks.. Like Ken said Dana is a key player in the growth of the UFC but SO ARE THE FIGHTERS!! and so is everyone else. It’s a TEAM thing!!!

MONEY DOES NOT EQUAL MATURITY..

DANA NEEDS TO HANDLE CONFRONTATION WITH LESS p**** DEFENSIVENESS REACTION AND MORE PRO ACTIVITY..

AND if dana is smart he’ll realize maturity is his weakness and real maturity will give him a better life with long lasting relationships.. Way more value in the end.. just like I got from listening to this man. Anyway.. Ken kicks ass. Mad props!! Hope we do hear more of him. Some of this thinking your just born with.. Love what he’s doing. He truly is a great guy who serves..

Best Shamrock interview ever! I don’t like the guy at all, but this is pure gold!

He does have all the faults in the world like it has been said here many times, but he got Dana Douche pinned down: a guy who takes all the accolades and none of the accountability. The Douche can have a lot to do with the success of the UFC, but that “I’m the only right person in the world attitude” is the very reason people call him a douche.

And Shamrock is pretty accurate on the union and drug topics, too.

Ya when ever I think of the turning point of the ufc I think of Ken Shamrock?
What an egotistical douche bag
Dont get me wrong… I think the ufc needs to pay more to their fighters but a guy who gets fronted 60 grand, gets his need fixed and makes 2.5 mil in 2 fights is not the spokesmen the fighters need. Go back to being a steroids advocate

I have to say Shamrock is bitter, he pissed away all the money he made from his fight series with Tito and there is even video of him gloating to Tito about how much they made for the fight.

He made alot of money of wrestling and is constantly whining about how he is broke….

He should become an ordained minister like MC Hammer and get a reality series revolving his life.

This is what happens to people who are addicted to steroids and coke folks.
