2nd!!!!!!!
looks like ken slipped on tha punch.
i’d go for hendo!
war franklin!!!!!!!!!!
Ace is back!
I remember watching this one live and thinking it was fixed. I just watched it again and I still think it was. I don’t think Rich knew, but Shamrock intentionally went down twice, and that second time he easily rolled onto his back and didn’t cover his face, hoping to get pounded out in an exciting finish. He wasn’t hurt when he went down, so there’s no excuse for not protecting himself. Franklin was the up-and-comer at the time, too.
In before black gerbil1???
shamrock didnt try to pull guard or anything…..acquard falls form shamrock…he was already washed up….
This was the rise of Franklin, who IS one of the best fighters at 185 but he just can’t seem to beat Silva. It’ll be interesting to see how well he’ll do againt Henderson back at 205.
Old fight. Easy win for Rich Franklin. Way to good with the hands.
The beginning of the end for Ken Shamrock. What a sad decline. He was great in his prime though.
Dan henderson is america, while Rich franklin is america, who will win that fight will be the american hero.
The begining of the end for Ken Shamrock was 10 years ago, when he entered the ufc.
Nothing about what happened there makes any sense. Looks like Ken just fell to the ground for no reason. I watched and paused and it wasnt even a slip? Looks like he just gave it away..so weird.
BTW I am talking about the first time Shamrock went to the ground. The second time was clearly a slip.
for it to be fixed, ken sure tried to rip his foot off before losing. Why do you guys watch MMA when you think everything is fixed? Rich hit him hard and hurt him right after he went down.
the rise and fall of 2 great UFC fighters.it was Rich’s last fight at Lhwt,after that he dropped down to Mwt and had a nice run as the champion.that is until he ran into the Spider Anderson Silva.
it also marked the decline of a legend in Ken Shamrock.it’s too bad that he didn’t ever stop his downward spiral.
this fight wasn’t fixed. ken clearly slipped doing a high kick, and rich capitalized on it. younger, stronger, faster. thats how it goes.
black gerbil1 we all know who you really are, which explains why you’re always the first to post comments!!!
Bruno: Tell us who you think he really is. Because if you are retarded enough to think it’s me you need to go back to the Sherdog forums.
ROFL @ Bruno comment
these 3 chick are sooo good.ha ha go back nobru
It was a slip - Ken put all this body weight into that kick and his leg just went with the momentum from under him. It was just a sloppy move. But could it have been a wet patch?
Two slips and out!
Text book example of a fixed fight. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional.
kem deserves all the respect in the world. ams i´s still watch him fight even if he is 80.
AND this fight looks so fixed, ken intentionally going to the ground and saying cmon rich do this quick
everything is fixed according to alot of the post her, i think that you guys should go watch boxing or better yet american gladiators. ken was out manned end of story. ken is past his prime here and rich is coming into his,seem pretty simple to me. and did anybody think that maybe ken needed to get paid so he took a fight he thought he really couldent win. sure sounded like it to me in the pre fight interview with ken.
can you handle the truth???
Anyone know what Rich’s entrance music was?
ANYONE who saw the slow motion Gif of the slip, you can see that ken went in, saw a fist and went to move and his left foot buckled causing his toes to grip the ground, and roll up and make him unable to use the foot and offered him only 2 options, get punched in the face or fall backwards.
there is no way a ufc fight is ever fixed there too hard core and u fake taking a kick to the head u cant really trust me i know
