Why does Bas hate him? They fought like three times.

 

I think Frank is probably the most gifted athlete to ever step into MMA. The guy is just naturally RIPPED. Like, he's as strong as he could be but as agile too. To see him work armbars and other submissions is another story as the guy could move on the mat like no one else.

 

So the dad yelled at his kid then causing the defender of the little people Ken Shamrock to chew him out?

 

A BJJ Blue Belt is pretty high, I'd expect him to be able to keep up with Ken. Ken is fucked up when he talks about Royce though, all that shit about taking his soul or something.

 

You'd think Guy would have lightened up after he was KTFO (and by KTFO I mean KNOCKED TEH FUCK OUT~!) by both Silva and especially Liddell. Do you have any Guy stories?

Bas and Frank don't get on due to some comments Frank has made about him in interviews over the years. Bas heard about them and while he was not happy about them, he just put it aside as Frank keeping his name afloat, much like Frank's challenges to Sakuraba and Silva that never went anywhere even when PRIDE approached him with contracts.

 

Basically the dad was being a dad and scolding his son for making a mistake so Ken took it upon himself to scare the shit out of the guy for being a parent.

 

Blue is only up from white so he'd know the basics of escapes and positioning and have some decent subs in his repertoire, but if he'd been a brown I'm sure he'd have fared better. Ken is ripped and has more experience so I don't find it hard to believe he could school a blue in no gi sparring.

 

The funniest Guy story I heard was when he fought in the UFC against Jason Fairn, before the current rules were put in place, they made a backstage agreement not to pull each other's hair because Guy didn't want his ponytail ruined.

I remember Shamrock being one of the only guys that wrestled that didn't have an armband on. I always wondered about that.

I noticed that too, though I suspect a lot of us did. There's two schools of thought:

 

1) Remember the Seinfeld where Kramer goes on the Aids Walk? He refuses to wear an arm band, but is clearly hoping to stop Aids. Maybe Shamrock was the same way, just because he didn't wear a band doesn't mean he wasn't upset.

 

2) I had a gym teacher who met Shamrock and said he was a cynical, emotionless shithead. Maybe this applies.

My cousin owns a child care facility in Lodi, California and Shamrock used to bring his kids there. They said he was a really nice guy.
