Ok so that did happen. I thought I saw some kind of weird post-apocalyptic cosplay going on but figured it must be fast forwarding making the video do weird things.

I justed watched Bellator for the first time in a couple of years, but gently caress I cannot take that organization seriously. It gives of this cheezy pro-wrestling vibe with the garbage entrances and roidfreaks. How can anyone take this poo poo seriously if they really don't give a drat about their real fighters? Scott Coker is a dipshit.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Give me a one night tournament with Kimbo, Walker, Lashley, and, I dunno, Kurt Angle after TNA folds.

I can''t believe how much positive press Shamrock got going into this fight. I guess it's why he did it, but Men's Fitness did a big story on him. People were all over my twitter timeline posting pics of him saying "lol this guy is 51 why don't you look like this" -- why are we coming together to applaud this loser attention whore for heavily abusing steroids into his 50s?

Multiple personalities, I believe

I recall hearing a story that if people came to his place to work out, and Walker didn't think they were working hard enough, he would challenge them to Russian Roulette.

All of those muscle magazines feature people juiced to their gills in photoshopped pictures and it's been like that for years, but people eat that poo poo up and that's why you see morons posting about it on social media. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think anyone here is that stupid and said they think his body is a product of any sort of natural training method.

A geriatric gassing holding a guy still and then being blown over by one punch after getting stood back up isn't even in the top 50 most unbelievable things to happen in MMA this year, and the year hasn't even lasted 6 full months yet

Yeah, I guess my problem is I keep viewing the fight through the lens of "this was 2 professional MMA athletes" when I should be viewing it as "this was Kimbo vs Shamrock in 2015".

Ken Shamrock struggled over multiple attempts to take down a street brawler with no cartelige in his knees. I'm not even sure how you would attempt to choreograph or fix that in the first place.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
Despite being bad at fighting, Kimbo Slice is possibly, on balance, just as skilled as Ken Shamrock ever was.

Ken Shamrock is an "MMA professional" only in the sense that he was one of the first people to make a career out of the sport. Have you watched one of his golden age fights recently? There's nothing surprising at him being dumb and getting tagged easily. Ken Shamrock was what we thought good MMA was before anyone had actually seen good MMA. Basically:

Kimbo could've won one of UFC 1-5 by chance just as easily as Shamrock. It was a mess.

Kimbo Slice is just a guy and Ken Shamrock is a roided out freak who studied grappling and submissions and its clear that just being a big guy who likes to fight wasn't the best way to win in the early UFCs, in fact knowing what we would now consider fundamental grappling is more important

from the clinch it looked like Ken was talking to Kimbo. But then again, he could have been wheezing for air.

It looked like a 90 second prowrestling match to me. Ken takes him down, gets heat. Then, Kimbo cashes in with a comeback.

I like that two of the most commonly assumed worked fights, Cro Cop vs Dos Caras and now Kimbo vs Shamrock, results in the guy "taking a dive" getting hit really loving hard in the head (Ken enough to get his old man skin split open).

Yet actual worked fights, like Taktarov vs Macias and Takada vs Coleman, end with submissions.

We sure got from posing the question to "one of the two most commonly assumed worked fights of all time" in short order.
