Video: Ken Shamrock vs. Robert Berry
Man, what a fucking mess. If there was any debate as to whether Ken Shamrock should retire, his Cage Rage appearance last night settled it. Check out the 3:54 mark of the video, as Ken takes a glancing jab and a right hook to his glove, then flops over sideways, Bo Cantrell-style. At this point, it's hard to imagine any professional heavyweight that Ken has the tools to beat. At the very least, he should have to change his nickname from "The World's Most Dangerous Man" to "The Third Most Dangerous Shamrock" (after Frank and Frank's wife).
Even if he's given the medical clearance to fight next month it's doubtful that EliteXC will still want to book Ken to get eaten up by Kimbo Slice on their CBS debut. Problem is, he was the most marketable option for Kimbo's next opponent. Will Slice vs. Berry draw the amount of eyes that Shaw & Co. need for their first network television show? Maybe, maybe not. But any hope for a blockbuster "superfight" just buckled like Ken's ever-wobbly legs.

Hey CP, just wanted to drop you a note that you can actually up the quality of the youtube videos you use to post fights. Its actually quite simple, all you have to do it is add "&fmt=18" to the end of the youtube url. Its nothing spectacular, but does help a bit.
Here is an example. I hope this embeds ok!
James Says:
Looks like it didnt embed, oh well...Give it a try anyway, it works on almost all youtube vids.
James Says:
Example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPKoQs3fcNQ&fmt=18
You can notice the difference mainly in the details, like the lettering on the mat
CagePotato Says:
@ James x3
The embed code on that page seems to be exactly the same as the lower quality version. Let me know if I'm missing something...
Kim Couture is a cunt Says:
I hate to see Shammy struggle. Legends need to retire with dignity, not go out getting smashed.
rheindog Says:
Who can exc get that is worht the money? Is fedor worth trying to get? No one knows him, is barnet worth it? I assume hes gonna want 300g's to fight, i dont know if they will do it. Who else is not in the ufc right now? I'm glad they scooped up baroni, but hes a middleweight, and they have a decent mw division with lawler, trigg, baroni, and some others i assume.
They are trying to hype up giant silva, who nearly got beat by stay puft rodriguez.
Ken is done, so is tank. These old guys just shouldn't be doing it, randy's only prolly gonna fight once more, its just so lucrative now compared to just 3 years ago, the money has tripled if not more.
The shows that exc put on just don't have the seeminly intensity that ufc shows do, i know the venues are obviously smaller because proelite isn't as known, but i think the production, and fuckin mauros 'buyzz just proved theres no country for old men while ken proved there will be blood' god dude, if he doesn't just try so hard. It sucks when you hear people say something you can tell they just been waiting to say... it just doesn't work. It's painful. And bill goldber? god that dude is so biased it just pisses me off, he picks favorites and is such a bitch to the guy hes not a favorite of.. I'd really like someone to ktfo him. Lets see tank vs goldberg.

Dana "fucking" white Says:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha wtf..........Shamrock is such a pussy!
lolwut Says:
Damn how many strikes did ken land??? Looked to me about 2 maybe not even.
Ken Says:
'Shamrock went down, faster than a pot a Guinness, at the local pub! '
Than Says:
Ken Shamrock sucks and should feel bad.
Steve-O Says:
hahahaha, i heard that.....awesome quote
but i'm pretty sure it was a pint of guinness not a pot. who is that with the lame ass quotes anyway....mauro? or quadros? i'd hate to think it was quadros, i like him from the old pride days.
groovekill Says:
shamrock should stick to 185 hes not a heavyweight. after tito beat him three times he should have realized hes not a light heavywieght either
James Says:
@CP: You just wanna add the "&fmt=18" yourself, to the end of the url when you go to embed it and it will embed the HQ version rather than low quality.
BIG CHRIS Says:
I hink they should go after Andre Arloski....I think he would rip Kimbo's Head off.....His contract with UFC is over isn't it.....I think that would be a good draw for eliteXC's first CBS show....
NipGrip Says:
Ken Shamrock, that was the dumbest damned thing I've seen all week.
Thanks for the video CP!
Old, Bald and Irish Says:
"AND SHAMROCK GOES DOWN FASTER THAN A PINT OF GUINNESS AT THE LOCAL PUB!"
...yeah, that's a real nice Irish sterotype the announcer threw in there.
Hey, how about:
"Shamrock got hit so hard, he's shitting potatos!"
"Shamrock's been hit more times than a Irish mother has children!"
"Shamrock's been hit so hard he'll be seeing yellow moons, pink stars and green clovers....BERRY JUST ATE SHAMROCK'S LUCKY CHARMS!"
"Shamrock took a shot from Berry's shalale!"
"The last time I saw a Mick go down that fast, he was diving for a big boobed, freckle-faced, drunk ass, red-headed Harp's pussy!"
.....my Irish heritage hasn't been this insulted since I watched James Cameron's "Titanic". That bastard owes an apology to every Irish and Italian man, woman and child.
As for the fight announcer: what an ass. He was probably practicing that line in the mirror of his dressing room....pathetic cunt.
I ain't "Old, Bald and Irish" for nothing.
And while I'm at it, Shamrock: go back to the USA, beat up Kim Couture in a "smoker" fight and hang up the fuckin' gloves.
"Ding, ding"....fights over.....knowwhatImean.

"BERRY JUST ATE SHAMROCK’S LUCKY CHARMS!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Thanks for that OBI.
I can't stand Mauro, Quadros comes out with a bad one now and then but every freakin' time Mauro opens his suck it's the most ridiculous garbage. I no longer dream wistfully about facing the legends of MMA, now I just want to get Mauro in a cage and beat him unconscious with a microphone.
Dana "Fuck everyone over" White Says:
OBI sounds like a pussy!
Old, Bald and Irish Says:
Hey "Dana",
I smell like one too.
Hellboy Says:
BIG CHRIS...
I think Arlovski has been signed by DREAM or something!
Hellboy Says:
And yeah, Ken was a disgrace...
Old men shouldn't embarrass themselves that way! I hope they paid you well!?!
KG Says:
Man if you get stomped by a guy with the word 'Berry' in his first or last name, you deserve getting your ass kicked. Berry Manilow, Chuck Berry, Berry White, Buzz Berry, either way you Berry it up, you suck Shamerock. I want to like you Sham, but when you willingly go out and destroy your face anymore than it already is, its hard to like you. Dudes face looks like it was used to crash test MACK trucks.
Dana white Says:
Nice one obi!
