He's Not Heavy, He's My Brother


By:Guido

Ken Shamrock will square off against his brother, Frank Shamrock, next year. Frank confirmed this to MMAWEEKLY radio earlier this week. The fight is set for March or April.

Ken was scheduled to fight Kimbo Slice on October 4th but had to withdraw due to a cut he received a couple hours before the fight. Ken(26-13-2), 44, has lost 8 of his last 10 fights. Frank(23-9), 35, has fought 6 times in the last 8 years. Ken Kilpatrick and Frank Juarez were both adopted by Bob Shamrock in Susanville, Cali. They later changed their legal names to Shamrock.

“We finally got it done and we’re looking forward to March or April for kicking it off, try to get him a wheel chair so he can get himself into that cage next time", said Frank.

Wow. Maybe they really do hate each other.

“I’ve just got to get his old ass into the cage now", Frank exclaimed. "Now he’s so old he can’t even get in the cage."

Now I'm hoping this isn't some WWF style marketing and gimmickry because this could be a really exciting fight.
