MMA: Frank Shamrock Vs Cung Le March 29!
Tuesday, 22 January 2008
Shamrock (23-8-2) — a UFC middleweight champion once considered the cream of the crop until he retired his title in the Octagon at UFC 25 in 1999 — has taken criticism for his choice in opponents since his return to the cage. Le (5-0) will be no different. Although an accomplished San Shou fighter, Le, 35, has had limited mixed martial arts experience. Still, the bout will likely draw record crowds.
After two three-year layoffs, Frank Shamrock stepped back into the ring against debuter Cesar Gracie, who he stopped in 21 seconds at a Strikeforce event in March 2006.
MMA legend Frank Shamrock granted The Park his first interview since the announcement that he will be facing Cung Le on March 29th in a Strikeforce/Elite XC copromotion. Among the topics touched on were:
* Why he chose to fight Le after once saying he had no interest in fighting him
* When the YouTube videos are coming
* Whether he plans to be a face or heel against Le
* Why fight Le before his brother Ken Shamrock
* The status of his fight with Ken
* His thoughts on Ken
* Why he believes Renzo Gracie won’t grant him a rematch
* His thoughts on the Randy Couture situation
* Which network passed on his reality show at the 11th hour
Shamrock is the definition of a walking sound byte and this interview was no different. Check’er out.
