Ken Shamrock is ready for Kimbo Slice at Bellator 138
I was working on the Quinn Bare-knuckle fight and we were promoting that, and we were getting a lot of attention. We heard that Kimbo was going to be signing with Bellator. Well, that’s a fight that should’ve happened awhile back and it didn’t. I’ve always wanted that fight. I reached out and said “Throw my name out there and see if we can get any traction with it.” My business partner at the time Dez, threw the name out and they showed a huge interest in that fight. So we sat down and understood that this was a fight that the fans wanted to see. This is a fight I wanted, a fight Kimbo wanted, and there was nothing left to do but sign a contract to make it happen.
Are you doing this for fun or is this a vendetta?
Of course it’s for fun; obviously I have reason to do this. I have to shut this guy up. There is some personality behind this. I’m doing this because it’s what I love to do, and I’m getting to do the fights I want to do. I’m not trying to be the World Champion anymore. I just want to have fun and do the fights I like.
Is this your last main event?
I think there’s one or two left in me. I think right now I have to focus on this one and get the job done. I definitely see what my options are. So as long as I feel healthy, I feel good, I feel I can compete in the ring at a high level and that I’m not endangering myself obviously, then I’m going to keep doing the fights. So if the fights that I take make sense, and there not a 27 year old number one contender in the world, then I’ll probably be interested in doing fights that make sense and fights that are marketable.
What have been your experiences with Bellator and Scott Coker?
I first did something with him in San Diego with the Tito fight. I wanted to explore Tito, I really felt during that time, that his direction and what he was doing was tremendous. He’s received a huge response and has a huge following and respect on top of it. How he’s approaching everything and the way he’s doing his job at promoting Bellator, and the people that he’s brought in to pay tribute to. The fans, the fighters and the media deserve to be able to have a choice on what type of coverage they want onPlease Subscribe to The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling on iTunes and via YouTube by searching the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling or visit the OFFICIAL Website of the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling: www.tmptofwrestling.com & twitter.com/twomanpowertrip
