Shamrock to face Sakuraba at Pride 30

**sonar1234** · 10-20-2005, 11:50 AM

I am amazed that Shamrock will not call it quits,

I have enormous respect for Ken he is a great guy i met him back in 1998 at a strip club when WWF came to my hometown of Montreal.

He will shake your hand and will talk to you.

But lets face it when it comes to MMA Ken has sort of lost the ball somewhere along.

When he came back to Pride in 2000 against Alexander Otsuka he did knock him out but Alexander is one of the worst MMA fighters ever, Ken was way to big and full of steroids guess he wanted to bring is WWF caracter in MMA.

When he fought Fugita he quit cause he add heart palpitations, he gassed out against Don Frye at Pride 19 but both of them where way to heavy for that fight once again, then he lost to Tito at UFC40, won against Kimo big deal and lost to Rich Franklin.

If you look at Randy Couture at 42 he is still very solid and can still bang has hell but Ken abuse way to much of steroids and is cardio is really weak.

I am pertty sure that Sakuraba will knock out Ken if Ken does not quit along the way.

that should be interesting. sakuraba is past his prime too. that fight is w/ two guys who are trying to relive their youth. they were both good but times have changed and they cant compete w/ the type of calibre of today's mma fighters.

Well Sakuraba is not pass is prime, he never got to beat Wandy for sure but he can still hang in there with the best.

Should be a good fight, both of these fighters have seen better days. They're fighting days are almost up, it's a privilege to watch two decorated warriors face each other.

It will be a good fight if and only if Shamrock has worked on is cardio and doesnt gas out after 1 minute into the fight, i am not scared for Sacu he will show up top shape has always
