In what has to be one of the most shocking MMA announcements, Frank Shamrock and Ken Shamrock are about to make MMA history!
The two brothers have both confirmed that they have signed a contract to fight each other in a mixed martial arts
match in the early part of 2009. .
Both brothers have told ESPN that the fight will definitely happen. It will be the first brother vs. brother fight in Mixed Martial Arts history, and will be called "Blood Brothers".
When Frank Shamrock was interviewed by ESPN.com, he said "We've both signed a contract to fight each other. Ken is down with it. We talked about it two years ago, and we've agreed materially to fight. The fight has a cool hook. Brothers beating each other up. Everyone wants to see that."
Ken Shamrock was also interviewed by ESPN.com. Ken said "Will the fight happen? Absolutely! He's got a butt kicking coming to him. Everything I've learned, everything I have bottled up in me, is going to come out on him. I've still got love for Frank, but I'm angry at him. I think [our dad would] root for both of us. But I think he's disappointed in the way Frank has acted towards him. My dad loves us both, but I think he'd like to see Frank taught a lesson. I'm a fighter, he's a fighter. He feels he's better than me, but I always spanked him in the gym. Now he wants to show me. I figured he'd wait until I was 50 years old, but I guess he's waiting until I turn 45."
There has been some heat between the 2 brothers for the past couple of years. Ken has accused Frank of being "an ungrateful punk" who disrespected their father, Bob. Frank has recently fired back with steroid accusations against Ken.
For those readers who don't know, the Shamrocks are adopted brothers who did not grow up together. Ken Shamrock was already 21 years old when his adopted father, Bob Shamrock, adopted the 13-year-old Frank. Both brothers had similar life experiences before being adopted by Bob Shamrock. No organization has been named as promoting the fight, but speculation is leaning that the fight will happen in either late March or early April 2009.
Can Ken Shamrock teach his younger brother a lesson? Or will Frank Shamrock prove to his "Big Brother
" that he (Frank) has the superior skills? This is one fight I am eagerly waiting to see...... what about you?
