Ken Shamrock Gave MMA Everything… And It Gave Him Nothing Back

9 Likes

He was one of the first to step into the cage. The face of early UFC. The man who brought legitimacy, danger, and drama to a sport that didn’t yet have a name. Ken Shamrock bled for MMA. He gave it his body, his mind, and his legacy. And when the lights dimmed… the sport left him behind.

In this video, we explore the rise and fall of “The World’s Most Dangerous Man.” From his legendary fights in the UFC and PRIDE, to the brutal injuries, financial struggles, and the painful silence that followed — this is the heartbreaking story of a pioneer who gave everything for a sport that forgot his name when he needed it most.

Nothing except fame, money, and a career after fighting.

Big fan of Ken Shamrock but he was ultimately a disappointment in mma. He had so much hype around him yet never won a tournament and those “super-fights” were mostly bad ..

Shamrock vs Ruas in 96 would have been interesting

Plus all of the works, dives and weird fights. The dude couldn’t separate real from fake, and neither could Severn.

I agree. He should get to writing his autobiography and get somebody interested an a screenplay. He’s led a fascinating life.

Ken was alright. He did a lot for the sport but it was altruistic. He got paid what he could and there nothing wrong with that, nothing great either imo

This is just an AI voice (and probably AI script) repeating things like “Ken Shamrock is being forgotten, no one remembers him anymore” for 20 minutes lol. I think he’s actually doing fine. He seems well when he pops up every now and then.

lol at this bs, without mma Ken ends up a bouncer for some bs shore bar, he ends up living in the second floor apartment while simultaneously acting as the super of the property. “Why hasn’t the second apartment been rented yet Ken you dumb gorilla?”

Fuck outta here with this shit. I met Ken when I was a teenager, I watched ufc 5 with my father which was both of our first UFC. At this point Ken was in the WWE so maybe I was closer to 17-18 I don’t remember exactly. Anyway Ken was a cocksucker in person, “let’s wrap this up boys the suns getting bright”. We were there for about ten seconds prick.

I hate these types of videos. They are remarkable for what they are but these AI narration bots think humans are way more cynical than they are. That’s really saying something.
